The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle has been a training centre for Mohs micrographic surgery since 2006. Previous fellows have moved on to consultant posts throughout the United Kingdom/Ireland and even further afield (Cape Town, Singapore, Portugal) , many are now leading voices and advocates for Mohs surgery. Fellows in Mohs micrographic surgery have completed their dermatology training and choose to undertake a period of additional training prior to becoming consultants. During their one-year fellowship fellows work under the supervision of experienced consultant dermatologists/Mohs surgeons and at completion will typically have undertaken approximately five hundred Mohs excisions.
