Consultation - Via Telephone

Service Description

At Eccleshall Skin Clinic a patient led, evidenced based approach to treatment, provides a bespoke service and reassurance over any concerns you may have. During the consultation process with a Dermatology Nurse Practitioner and Prescriber your treatment aspirations are acknowledged and suitable treatments are recommended based on researched clinical advice, along with recommendations for the most suitable treatment plan and skin care. In addition to in person consultations, the clinic is able to provide consultations either via online video or telephone, depending on individual requirements and concerns.

The following are not seen by remote video or telephone consultation: Mole checks Total body skin checks Severe acne, psoriasis or eczema Complex skin conditions Once your appointment is booked, you will receive a link asking for further details including medical history. Images will be requested prior to your appointment for those seeking a remote consultation.
