  Job summary

  An exciting opportunity to work within a busy, friendly and dynamic dermatology department based over two hospital sites, Royal Blackburn Hospital and Burnley General Hospital has become available.

  We are also fortunate to have a large number of highly skilled nurses and a clinical Pharmacist. At this time, there are 3 advanced clinical practitioners in the department and we are hoping to expand this workforce and recruit a nurse consultant as well. The advanced clinical practitioners each have their own subspeciality within dermatology and operate independent clinics, e.g biologics initiation and follow up clinics, acne clinics to consider and commence Isoretinoin and skin cancer surveillance clinics. Some of them also operate independent theatre lists and are part of the multi-disciplinary team.

  Additionally, the department is very resourceful and our department sister and other senior nurses are trained and work as non-medical prescribers and some of them also have regular surgical lists in the department.

  The department is proud to continue to offer outpatient intensive topical treatments in a dedicated Dermatology Treatment Room and this initiative has continued to reduce the number of hospital admissions required for patients with significant and very burdensome skin disease. The department also offers other nurse led activities including eczema education clinics, phototherapy assessment clinics and subsequent phototherapy as well as patch testing.

  Main duties of the job

  The Dermatology service at ELHT is progressive and forward thinking and this post presents an exciting opportunity to join a cohesive team of enthusiastic Dermatology professionals who are supported by high quality colleagues in the wider multi-disciplinary team.

We provide a broad range of acute and community services to the local population in addition to some specialist services to a wider population. We are a clinically led, managerially supported organisation.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
