Specialist in Plastic Surgery (Skin) | The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust

We are looking for a specialist plastic surgeon to deliver dermatology skin procedures in an outpatient setting with 1 session a month in theatres. If you are looking for a specialist post where you can genuinely shape the future of dermatology in Shropshire, train your dermatology colleagues to expand their surgical scopes of practice, influence major service redesign and integration with our community partners, and be part of one of the most ambitious hospital transformation programmes in the NHS — this is it.

Our Trust is on the brink of a once‑in‑a‑generation change. Backed by £312 million of investment, the

Hospital Transformation Programme will create

• A single acute site at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, home to a new 30‑bed Critical Care Unit, a modern Emergency Department, and a state‑of‑the‑art Women’s and Children’s Hospital
• A dedicated planned care site at The Princess Royal Hospital, supporting high‑quality elective surgery and improved patient flow

This is your opportunity to join us at the perfect moment — early enough to influence the design and delivery of future services, but close enough to opening that you’ll see your impact become reality.

Our dermatology service will be undergoing significant improvement. We are looking for a specialist grade who wants to continue this momentum — colleagues who are energised by improvement, motivated by challenge, and excited to help shape a service that women and families can trust.

Our Poppy’s Promise Commitment

We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team — clinical or non-clinical — plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.

We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.

Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.

By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values — ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
