The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

The Trust comprises of four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.

Main duties of the job

The post-holder will use most of his / her time in clinical activities directly relating to Dermatology. The total NHS workload is 10 PAs each week. The post-holder’s duties will be based at the Department of Dermatology, Churchill Hospital, Oxford, but part of this post may require delivery of clinical activity at other outreach clinics. Their presence may from time to time be required in other parts of the Trust. Clinical care may involve collaboration with and / or supervision of an intermediate dermatology service. The post-holder will also be required to maintain excellent links with primary care at a personal and administrative level.

Junior medical support and training : The Dermatology services participate in the Oxford Training Rotation, which consists of specialist training posts shared between several hospitals (The Churchill & John Radcliffe Hospitals, Oxford, the Horton Hospital, Banbury and the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading). At any one time, we have at least 6 registrars based in Oxford & Reading each spend approximately 24 months based in each department.

Out-patient clinics : The clinical work plan will typically involve PA sessions in out-patient clinic settings and PA sessions in supporting activity. The Dermatology Service in Oxford sees more than 48,000 patients per year including new referrals, follow-up consultations and clinical procedures including laser and surgery. Clinics at both sites normally consist of lists staffed by a consultant with a specialist or research registrar and ST1-2. Nurse led clinics and surgical lists are well established and consultant supervised. There is a well-established email advice service providing clinical advice by consultants with a 24-48 hour response time.

Ward rounds & in-patient cover : All in-patients are admitted on the Churchill site where possible or over at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

All consultants are expected to participate in the direction of the department’s clinical audit programme, which will normally be carried out with the aid of the registrars.
