Working for our organisation
The NNUH department is in the largest teaching hospital in the Eastern Region. It is situated on the Norwich Research Park surrounded by countryside on the outskirts of Norwich. The dermatology department was purpose built at the time of the PFI in 2002 and since then has expanded, with further business plans for expansion. It has all the usual facilities expected in a teaching hospital dermatology department. There is a smaller dermatology department at Cromer Hospital with dedicated nurses, phototherapy, biologics clinic and patch testing.
The department has training and teaching links with the James Paget University Hospital (JPUH) in Great Yarmouth and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) in Kings Lynn; both about 60 minutes (40 miles) away. Both JPUH and QEUH have well-established purpose built, dermatology departments with consultants, dermatology nurses, phototherapy, patch testing and surgical facilities.
The department sees approximately 14,000 new and 30,000 follow ups per year.
Adult in-patients at NNUH are on surgical wards. There is no specific number of beds allocated to dermatology; the specialty can admit into beds as required according to clinical priority and availability of beds, typically there are 1-4 patients. Children are admitted onto the paediatric ward under paediatricians with shared care responsibility.
The appointee will be provided with a shared office, computer, internet access and secretarial support which will be shared.
