Skin conditions and wound care in one clinic

The dermatology clinic assesses skin, hair and nail conditions and carries out minor skin surgery for growths, cysts and lesions that need removal. Alongside this, a dedicated wound clinic looks after diabetic and other non-healing wounds, with a dressing schedule agreed at the first visit rather than worked out session by session.

Dressings are supplied as part of your ongoing wound care, and each visit checks how the wound is progressing against the plan, adjusting the schedule if healing is slower or faster than expected.

What this covers

  • Skin condition assessment
  • Hair and nail condition assessment
  • Minor skin surgery
  • Diabetic wound care
  • Non-healing wound management
