Dermatology Services
Trusted processes for elective recovery across the NHS
Our Understanding of Dermatology
Dermatology is a high-volume specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and management of skin conditions, ranging from common inflammatory diseases such as eczema and psoriasis to urgent suspected skin cancers. With skin cancer being the most common form of cancer in the UK, timely access to dermatology services is critical.
NHS Trusts face sustained demand in dermatology due to high referral volumes, the need to meet two-week wait cancer targets, and increasing demand for minor surgical procedures. Long waiting lists can cause anxiety, delays in cancer diagnosis, and prolonged symptoms for patients with chronic skin conditions.
At NCI, we recognise that dermatology requires a balance of rapid access, accurate diagnosis, and high-quality treatment delivered by consultant-led teams with strong governance frameworks.
