Summary

The team is multidisciplinary comprising also of 2 specialist registrars (Yorkshire rotation), Hospital Practitioners, a Physician Associate, 3 GP trainees, 2 Advanced Skin cancer Nurse Practitioners, Skin Surgery Nurses, a Chronic Disease Specialist Nurse team and a Skin Cancer CNS team.

Within the service there are dedicated dermatology theatres and facilities for PDT, phototherapy and patch testing. Specialist Nurse led services include dermatological surgery, leg ulcers/ lymphoedema management, cryotherapy and drug monitoring. Nurse practitioner led services in skin cancer diagnosis and follow up are also established. A skin cancer specialist nurse team additionally provides support.

An active teledermatology service is provided for A&G and referral triage. In-patient Dermatology service is offered at York and Scarborough Hospital sites.

We would encourage applications from individuals with skills to complement our existing team.
