Important Information About Skin Cancer
This is a GP-led dermatology service and not a consultant-led skin cancer service. We assess skin lesions and provide guidance, but certain conditions require specialist care.
We do not treat:
-
-
- Suspected melanoma
- Suspected squamous cell carcinoma
- High-risk or complex skin cancers
-
If there is any concern, we will arrange prompt referral in line with national guidance.
Children’s Dermatology
We are able to assess common skin conditions in children. Where a condition is complex or requires specialist input, we will advise on appropriate referral.
