Birmingham

The Healthcare Assistant (HCA) will support the dermatology team in the safe and effective delivery of the cutaneous allergys/patch testing service, a specialist diagnostic pathway used to identify allergic contact dermatitis. The postholder will assist with all stages of patch testing, including preparation, application, reading support, documentation and patient education. All work must be carried out in line with British Dermatological Nursing Group (BDNG) Best Practice Guidelines and the BAD/BSCA Cutaneous Allergy Service Standards. The role requires excellent attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to work within clear clinical boundaries while recognising when to escalate concerns to registered professionals. Prepare patch test materials, allergens, chambers and equipment according to BDNG bestpractice procedures. Review patient information, confirm appointment schedule (Day 0, Day 2, Day 4 and Day 7 if appropriate), and ensure patients meet safety criteria for testing (e.g. no recent sun exposure leading to sun tan). Ensure the patch testing clinical area is organised, clean and compliant with infectionprevention standards.
