Higher Clinical Fellow in Dermatology
NHS Medical & Dental: Local Appointment nodal point 4 (MT04)
AI tools like chatbots and virtual assistants can support you as you complete your application. For example, they can check for spelling or grammar errors, or help you to decide what to include.
But they shouldn’t replace your own responses or be used to write the application for you.
Relying too much on AI can negatively impact your chances of success, because automatically generated answers:
- might not be specific or relevant enough to address the criteria in the recruitment profile
- often seem generic and not personalised enough – an AI response won’t show your unique voice and perspective
- could misrepresent information about you, such as your qualifications, skills and experience
We monitor applications for any behaviour that could create an unfair advantage, and we check all references carefully. You are likely to be tested on your experience at interview, so be honest and make sure all the information in your application is correct.

The rotation is initially offered on a fixed term contract for 12 months after which we would envisage extension on a mutually agreed basis.

The work will include the provision of outpatient services including performing minor surgical procedures. The patients will include urgent referrals for suspected skin cancer as well as unselected routine referrals for general dermatology. Patients may include children.
The post holder may have the opportunity to rotate through a variety of specialist clinics, including those in biological therapy, specialist oncology, severe inflammatory dermatoses, cutaneous allergy, paediatrics etc.
Working for our organisation
Our new strategy, 'Leading in healthcare, trusted in communities' was developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners and is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
- high-quality care for all,
- being a great place to work,
- partnerships for impact, and
- research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
- we are compassionate,
- we are proud,
- we are inclusive, and
- we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
