As an alternative to a face-to-face appointment, you may have been previously been offered a virtual assessment using our MySkinDoctor app. If you previously declined, then you are welcome to use the app with the code that was initially texted to you.
Please visit myskindoctor.co.uk for further details on how to download and use our app. If you require a face-to-face appointment, we will be in contact by telephone or letter to arrange this for you.
Due to UK Government regulations, as of Monday 15th June 2020, all patients will be required to wear a face covering when attending their outpatient appointment. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with a face mask. Therefore we ask all patients provide their own and failure to wear a face covering may result in you being turned away and your appointment rescheduled.
