Junior medical support and training: The Dermatology service participates 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 4-6 registrars based in Oxford, each of which spend approximately 24 months based in the department.
Out-patient clinics: The clinical work plan (see below) will typically involve sessions in out-patient clinic settings to support the skin cancer service. The Dermatology Service sees more than 48,000 patients including new referrals, follow up consultations and clinical procedures including laser and surgery. Clinics normally consist of lists staffed by a consultant with a clinical training or research registrar ± 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 under medical teams at the JR, Churchill, Horton sites and dermatology speciliast support is provided where needed.
There are no acute general medicine on-call duties, but the dermatology consultants take part in supervising the non-resident registrar on-call rota currently on a >1 in 10 basis. The Churchill Hospital has a resident general medical hospital-at-night ST1-2 rota shared between departments
