Nurse-led services
All of our nurses are trained in the assessment and recognition of skin cancers. We are pleased to offer a wide range of services that can be provided by our nursing team including full skin checks, spot checks, liquid nitrogen treatment (after Dr has assessed the lesion), topical chemotherapy clinics, field treatment with limb wraps, total body photography and biopsies. The nurses also provide all post-surgical care such as dressing changes, removal of stitches and wound checks. They are your first port of call for any wound related concerns or questions about your surgery.
