Mō mātou - About us

In this role you will be diagnosing and treating acute skin conditions, conducting skin examinations, performing minor surgical procedures, and providing expert advice on skincare.
The Dermatology service is currently provided by locum dermatologists and we are looking to establish a small department within Dunedin hospital to look after the dermatological needs across the Southern Region of the South Island. The primary role would be to provide outpatient clinics for patients (including paediatric) referred into secondary care by their General Practitioner but you will also work closely with the specialist teams in Dunedin hospital to provide advice, support and treatment for acute complex skin conditions.
The dermatology service is provided out of our outpatient rooms and there are nursing staff who support the clinics. We have a phototherapy suite and have access to medical day stay infusions. Clinics will need to be provided both in Dunedin as well as Invercargill and so some travel will be required for this role.
