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.
