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.

Many of our recruitment programmes use values-based interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know that this makes a significance difference to your job satisfaction and above all the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families.

The post-holder will use most of his/her time in clinical activities directly relating to Dermatology. The total NHS work load 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 clinical activity at other outreach clinics. Their presence may from time to time be required in other parts of the Trusts. 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 (see below) 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 (now via eRS) in Oxford 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.

There are no acute general medicine on-call duties, but the dermatology consultants at Oxford take part in supervising the non-resident registrar on-call rota currently on a 1 in 13 basis. The Churchill Hospital has a resident general medical hospital-at-night ST1-2 rota shared between departments.

COVID-19: The COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course our patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination. If you are unvaccinated there is helpful advice and information at Oxfordshire County Council Website where you can also find out more about how to access vaccination. There is a current Government consultation underway which will determine whether some new starters may need to be vaccinated.
