Referrals into the service can be made by any NHS healthcare professional, but must adhere to the referral guidelines we have agreed with local Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG’s).

NHS Referral Guidelines
Common Exclusions:
- Leg Ulcers
- Two-week Rule Referrals (Except for Brighton & Sussex Dermatology Service)
- Botox for Hyperhidrosis
- Cosmetic skin lesions or problems
- Patients requiring transport – We are unfortunately unable to provide a transport service for patients. All clinics do however have full disabled facilities and access.
Step 2: Complete the referral form or letter
We have prepared a standard referral template for the service to make it easier for you to refer patients on to us with all the information we need. Simply fill in the patient’s details and choose which locations they would like to be seen at. Where possible we will always try to book patients in at their chosen location or close to their home.
