Somerset Dermatology general practitioners with extended role (GPwER)

Background: The dermatology service in Somerset is currently undergoing a process of regeneration and renewal. Our ambition is to create an integrated dermatology service that impacts positively on the health of the population that we serve. We will do this by staying focused on the health and care aims of the Somerset Integrated Care System strategy.

Why GPs with extended role? We need to grow the clinical team and create dermatology services that are timely and accessible to the people of Somerset. Our aim is to keep waiting lists short, and to use our resources more effectively to deliver excellent care to our patients. We will create a new tier of intermediate care, located close to practices and aligned to primary care networks, staffed by a multi-professional team that includes GPwERs.

Who should apply? We want colleagues who share our vision for creating a much-improved service, where high-quality dermatology care fully supports our patients and our colleagues. We are seeking to develop GPwERs who are passionate about strengthening care and support in local communities by delivering excellent dermatology services. Our aim for the new service is to reduce inequalities, whilst ensuring that systems are in place to recognise and respond to patients with complex needs. We want team players who are committed to our long-term vision, and are willing to see this ambitious project through to its conclusion.
