Please note that from 1 April the CCG decommissioned ‘routine’ Dermatology services from Secondary Care providers, subject to patient choice. We would recommend that all practices now start to refer to the Community Dermatology service providers for routine dermatology care and treatment.

Please note these Community Dermatology services are not for 2ww or urgent patients – these should continue to be referred to Secondary Care.

Any practices or GPs wanting further information should contact Stuart Gill – Planned Care Lead (stuart.gill@nhs.net ) 

The Consultant led service will be delivered across the East Riding with clinics running in each Locality. This will allow patients to benefit from the expertise of specialist staff in community clinics that are conveniently located closer to their homes. Currently DMC have confirmed clinics at the following locations;

  • South Cave GP practice
  • King Street GP practice, Cottingham
  • Bridlington Hospital

They are also currently in discussions with other practice across the East Riding – more details to follow very soon.
