Job Ref: dmdllon4

Skin Cancer screening/Dermatology Nurse required for a Private Clinic in London.

Dream Medical is working with an esteemed private client in London who is looking to recruit an experienced Skin Cancer/Dermatology Nurse.

Description

In this role, you will work as part of the nurse practice team to deliver a high standard of skin cancer screening, advice, care, and support to patients. As a mole cancer screening nurse, you will provide the first point of entry into our Dermatology Pathway. You will be expected to demonstrate clinical and communication skills to a high standard and a commitment to improving the service through ongoing personal and professional development.

We are looking for a competent, compassionate, and confident nurse who can identify normal lesions as well as those that may be suspicious in patients who have requested a general mole check-up. You will have access and the ability to refer to Dermatologists working at LDC to support the diagnosis who can remove suspicious lesions identified during the mole screening process and provide the necessary care. This ensures a complete pathway for those patients needing further care. You will be involved in supporting these consultants with minor ops.

Previous dermatology experience is essential alongside experience in skin cancer screening and treatment as well as experience in mole screening and running a nurse-led clinic. Ideally, you would have a special interest in dermoscopy.

4. Ensure compliance with relevant NICE Guidelines, BDNG Competencies, and NMC Code.
5. Enhance quality of care by assisting with the management of change in nursing practice based on evidence/research.
6. Be able to work autonomously and plan/organise own workload in order to meet patients' needs.
7. Always ensure compliance with Clinic Policies & Procedures.
8. Practice multidisciplinary team care and contribute actively towards its successful management.
9. Work in accordance with the Clinic Plan to assist in meeting the Clinic Objectives.
