This full-time position offers broad clinical dermatology experience in a busy and well-supported Dermatology Department with allocated time for development of specialist interests and research.

• Specialist clinics are set up to cover all areas of Dermatology including general medical clinics, one-stop lesion clinics, paediatric dermatology, biologics, phototherapy, joint vulval clinics with Gynaecology and joint Dermatology/Rheumatology clinics.
• The department works closely with Medical Illustration to provide an award-winning Teledermatology Service which is currently expanding.
• The post would suit those who have passed their FY2 (or equivalent) competencies and have sound background knowledge of medicine. MRCP (or equivalent) is desirable but not essential.
• Currently there is no on-call commitment.
• This is an 8-month post in the first instance; however, there is potential for a renewable contract beyond if exceptional progress is demonstrated on e-portfolio review.
• The Clinical Fellow will be afforded the same training opportunities as our training posts, with access to in-house training and study leave.
• The appointee will be encouraged to contribute to our regular clinical governance meetings and take part in case presentations.
• Outpatient clinics are held across the Health Board in 5 hospitals with a Dermatology Unit for inpatient, day surgery and phototherapy at St Woolos Hospital, Newport. Phototherapy Services are also provided at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr, Ystrad Mynach.
