RCHT Dermatology Advice & Guidance

 

Dermatology Advice & Guidance service is available via e-RS.

This service can be used for advice on diagnosis and treatment options, aiming to reduce the number of patients who need to be seen face to face where possible.

There is also now a separate Paediatric Dermatology Advice and Guidance service available via e-RS.

 

Where possible please include a high-quality image(s), having taken and recorded consent to share the image(s) with secondary care. Please limit the number of photos to five to ensure timely replies.

If the patient is already under a Dermatology Consultant please include the details of which consultant in the request.

 

Exclusions to this service include:

• Fast Track Skin Cancer Referrals
• This service is not for lesions as often a face-to-face appointment with dermoscopy is required.
