Specialist Registrar Dermatology. Remote working...

About Medefer

Medefer is a pioneer in virtual-first specialist healthcare. Founded by NHS consultants over a decade ago, we were delivering consultant-led virtual outpatient care well before “virtual hospitals” became a national priority. Our model has since been cited in government and NHS England material on the NHS Online vision as one of the service models informing this direction.

We sit at the intersection of clinical provider and technology company. Our CQC-registered service is powered by Medefer’s own electronic health record and referral platform, connecting GPs, consultants, diagnostic providers and hospitals into a single coordinated system. This approach has won multiple national awards for elective recovery, innovation and impact, and we now serve both NHS partners and private patients across the UK.

Medefer is built on three principles: innovate to solve real system problems, collaborate with clinicians and partners, and put patients first in every decision. As we scale across Integrated Care Systems and grow our private services, joining now means helping to define what modern specialist care looks like - and owning the financial strategy behind it.

About the role: Specialist Registrar Dermatology

The role of a Medefer Registrar is to consult with patients remotely, obtaining more detailed information about their condition, following their GP referral to Medefer. This is then reviewed by our Consultants to support their clinical decision-making.

You can work as many hours as you would like each week, with no minimum or maximum expectation, and you can decide the days and times you wish to work, whether that be evenings, weekends, or weekdays (providing patient cases are available).

This is a fully remote role, and due to the nature of the role you must have a private and secure space from which to work with reliable internet access.

Key Responsibilities

Clerking patients within your speciality via telephone assessment following a GP referral made to our Virtual Hospital.

Take a detailed patient history during clerking calls to support the Consultant to form a management plan for the patient.

Discuss risks and benefits of a surgical procedure or invasive test which has been recommended as a possibility by a Consultant, documenting the patient’s agreement in principle (please note all patients will be formally consented as per normal at a later stage).
