Description of Department/Service

The Department of Dermatology provides services for patients with inflammatory skin disorders, pre-cancerous skin lesions and skin cancers and sees over 12,000 patients every year. 

Outpatient clinics are run by consultant dermatologists who can refer patients to dermatology clinical nurse specialists for treatments in their nurse-led clinics. The department provides a very busy day care service for patents with inflammatory skin conditions as well as facilitating skin biopsies and minor surgical procedures.

The dermatology department treats a wide range of skin diseases and these conditions can be broken down into a number of sub-specialities including

  • Phototherapy, 
  • Allergic contact dermatitis & Patch testing
  • Cutaneous surgery
  • Paediatric dermatology
  • Skin surveillance in immuno-suppression
  • Pigmented lesion surveillance
  • Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer diagnosis and treatment

All the various sub specialities work closely together to provide a high quality service to patients with chronic inflammatory skin disease and skin cancer.

Research and Clinical Trials:
The department also undertakes clinical research and clinical trials led by Dr. Anne–Marie Tobin.
