Consultant in Dermatology
The Department of Dermatology at Homerton University Hospital provides a full range of general and specialist dermatology clinics. The demand for these clinics has increased and the Trust wishes to further expand on the range of specialist clinics available.
Applications are invited from suitably qualified physicians for the substantive post of Consultant in Dermatology.
The post is offered flexibly at 4–10 Programmed Activities (0.4–1.0 WTE). Applicants are explicitly invited to apply for any contractual commitment within this range. The final job plan will be agreed with the successful candidate according to their contracted PAs, clinical interests and service requirements, within the agreed DCC and SPA framework. During normal working hours, the consultant team provides support for acute dermatology and urgent inpatient referrals. There is currently no fixed General Medical on-call commitment; however, the future provision of an out-of-hours/on-call dermatology service is under active discussion and may be implemented as service requirements develop.
Responsibilities
- Provide a comprehensive Dermatology service in collaboration with consultant colleagues, including inpatient and outpatient care, referrals, treatment, and telephone/electronic Advice & Guidance to local GPs.
- Undertake adult dermatology outpatient clinics, with paediatric clinics incorporated where appropriate to applicant interest and service need.
- Participate in skin cancer services, including outpatient clinics and MDT meetings where required, with clinical commitments adjusted accordingly.
- Provide timely assessment and management of inpatient, urgent and acute dermatology referrals.
- Share responsibility for delivering evidence-based standards of care and maintain continuing responsibility for patients under your care, including associated administrative duties.
- Liaise effectively with GPs, external agencies and multidisciplinary colleagues.
- Provide leadership, clinical supervision and support to junior doctors and dermatology nursing staff.
- Contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate dermatology education.
- Participate in future out-of-hours/on-call dermatology arrangements if introduced, subject to appropriate job planning and contractual arrangements.
- Work in accordance with Trust policies, procedures, the Code of Behaviour, contractual requirements and Homerton’s business plans.

Homerton became one of the first ten NHS foundation trusts in the country in April 2004. This allows the Trust to secure certain freedoms to facilitate innovation in the way services are developed and provided. As well as our Trust Board, we also have a Council of Governors comprised of governors representing the local community.
In 2011 the Trust integrated with City & Hackney Community Health Services thereby providing it with an opportunity to develop new service models and pathways that cross traditional organisational boundaries.
Employing over 3000 people, the hospital has approximately 500 beds and manages a 50-bed nursing home, Mary Seacole Nursing Home, in Shoreditch, East London. In 2022, the Trust saw over 300,000 people in outpatient clinics, and over 126,000 people were treated in the accident and emergency department. The Trust also had contact with over 280,0 patients and clients within the community, often in their own homes.
