Consultant Dermatologist

Mission

The Wellness is a doctor-led private clinic built around precision diagnostics and preventive care. We help people understand their health in detail, through advanced blood panels, imaging and physician-led interpretation, and we track that picture over time through WAI, the medical intelligence we build in house.

Our aim is simple. Catch things early, act on them properly, and give every patient a clear plan they actually follow. Every clinician who works with us exists to make that care feel considered, accurate and personal.

Why Work With The Wellness

We are building a clinical bench of the best of the best. If you work with us, you will practise alongside doctors who hold the same bar you do, with the diagnostics, the support and the time to do the job the way you were trained to do it.

Patients who expect to be looked after properly. People come to us for the standard of the care and the attention that comes with it. Consultations are thorough, the reasoning is explained rather than asserted, the evidence behind it is current, and somebody follows up. We can also provide that care at the time a patient needs it, whether that is at short notice, early, late or at the weekend.

Care that is personal. Where a patient already has a history with us, you will have it in front of you before they sit down, with their previous results and their trend lines. Appointments run for as long as the consultation needs, and you are briefed on everyone you see.

Evidence first, always. Every recommendation is grounded in current research and UK clinical guidance. We retest, we adjust, and we are comfortable telling a paying patient that something is not indicated. We would rather be right than impressive.

The administration is carried for you. With the patient's consent, WAI drafts the note, the letter, the referral and the prescription, files the results and prepares the follow-up. You review and you approve. Nothing leaves this clinic without your signature, and no clinical decision is made by software.

Complimentary access to WAI Clinician. Doctors who work with us are given WAI Clinician at no cost, including for use in their practice elsewhere. Reasoning, scribing, evidence and letters at the point of care. It supports your practice. It does not replace your own professional indemnity.

You will help build the technology. WAI is designed and built here, by engineers who work directly with the doctors who are using it. When a clinician tells us that something is wrong, missing or slower than it should be, that goes to the people writing the code. Doctors who work with us have reshaped how the product handles referrals, letters and results, and we expect that to keep happening.

You are paid for your time. Hourly, for the sessions you work. There is no buy-in, no room rent, no equipment charge, no invoices to raise and no payment to chase. We bill the patient, we deal with the insurer, and we pay you for the clinic you delivered.

Role Purpose

Skin is the one organ our patients can see, which makes it both the easiest thing to worry about and the easiest thing to dismiss. You provide the definitive opinion.

You will run general and diagnostic dermatology clinics, lead our mole and skin cancer screening, manage medical dermatology properly, and work directly alongside our aesthetic and hormone clinicians so that patients receive one plan rather than three.

What You Will Deliver

• Consultant-led general dermatology clinics with rapid access, including evening and weekend sessions where they suit you.
• Full skin examination and dermoscopy, with lesions photographed, mapped and tracked over time in the patient's record.
• Suspected skin cancer identified and moved into a definitive pathway quickly, with the patient told clearly and calmly what is happening and when.
• Medical management of acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis and hair loss, including systemic therapy with the monitoring that systemic therapy demands.
• Joint working with our aesthetic, hormone and nutrition clinicians, so that a patient with adult acne is treated by a team that has spoken to each other.
• Written summaries a patient can read and their own GP can use.

What We Are Hiring For

• Diagnostic authority. You are the person the rest of the clinic asks, and your opinion settles the question.
• A low threshold. You would rather excise a benign lesion than watch a melanoma, and you can explain that trade-off without frightening anyone.
• Medical depth. You treat the disease as well as the appearance, and you know when the skin is telling you something systemic.
• Directness. Patients leave your room knowing what they have, what happens next, and what they can stop worrying about.
• Collegiality. You will be working with excellent aesthetic doctors and GPs, and the best outcome usually comes from the three of you agreeing a plan.

Requirements

• Full GMC registration with a licence to practise, and entry on the GMC Specialist Register in Dermatology.
• CCT in dermatology, or equivalent recognised specialist training.
• A substantive NHS consultant post held within the last five years, or equivalent senior experience in the UK or internationally.
• Expert dermoscopy and a documented approach to pigmented lesion assessment.
• Independent indemnity covering private dermatology practice.
• Current appraisal and revalidation, a DBS check at the level appropriate to the role, arranged through our credentialing process, and the right to work in the UK.

Preferred

• Current or recent skin cancer multidisciplinary team involvement.
• Teledermatology and photographic triage.
• Specialist interest in hair and scalp disorders.
• Expertise in skin of colour. Our patient base is international and this matters to us.
• Paediatric dermatology.
• Laser and energy-based device experience.

Everything under Requirements is a regulatory or safety condition and is not negotiable. Everything under Preferred is. We hire for judgement first, and it is not uncommon for us to bring in outstanding doctors from adjacent fields.

How the Engagement Works

• Sessions are agreed in advance and scheduled around your existing NHS or private commitments.
• The engagement is on a self-employed basis under a contract for services. You hold your own professional indemnity, and we pay you for the sessions you work.
• You will be credentialed through our clinical governance process before your first clinic, and you practise within our policies, our record keeping and our CQC registration.
• Clinical decisions and clinical responsibility remain yours. Our systems give you back time. They do not make the call.
• Sessions can grow. Clinicians who take on more of the list are given more of it, and the doctors who help us build a service tend to end up leading it.

Compensation

Hourly, and competitive for London private practice. You are paid for clinical time booked, and you are never charged for rooms, equipment, consumables or administrative support. As the clinic reaches key milestones, additional benefits and rewards unlock for the clinicians who got us there. Full details can be discussed during the process.

Hiring Process

Our process is selective by design and moves quickly for the right person.

• Application, with your CV and a short note on the scope of practice you would want to offer here.
• Introductory call with the relevant clinical lead.
• Clinical conversation, including case discussion, with the doctors you would be working alongside.
• Credentialing and governance checks. GMC registration, appraisal and revalidation, indemnity, DBS, references and scope of practice sign-off.
• A first clinic, paid, so that both sides can see how the work actually feels before either of us commits.
• Confirmation of your sessions, and induction to WAI.
