Dermatology

Please note that the dermatology service supports acute dermatology.  Cosmetic and benign referrals will need to be supported by individual funding requests. 

The wait to be seen for dermatology is currently 4-5 months for routine appointments.  Please support the service by ensuring referrals provide details on the history of the skin condition including site, size and location and previous treatments which will enable the consultant team to respond to referrals through ERS with advice and guidance to support patients sooner.

NHS Funded Fertility Treatment varies enormously across the UK; current provision across England is determined by:

  2. NHS England for Armed forces funding only

(The hospital trust has no control or influence on any policy changes and no responsibility for any changes associated with these web site links below)

 Further information can be obtained from the following links:

There is an essential requirement for all funding to follow a defined treatment pathway and any associated forms must be completed by an NHS Fertility Specialist to apply for funding.
