General Dermatology
Due to capacity we will no longer be able to see new general dermatology patients (eg rashes, acne, psoriasis, rosacea etc). We did previously offer this service but we have had to put this on hold for now and will focus on skin cancer detection and treatment only for the forseeable future. Those with general dermatology concerns can see their GP and if needed be referred to the public system.
