Dermatology: WH

NCL Wide

Dermatology services at Whittington Health (WH).

Please note: All routine dermatology referrals need to be sent via the Teledermatology referral pathway with the appropriate images.

However, if you have already sought advice from Consultant Connect and were advised that the patient needs a face-to-face appointment following their review, in this situation you can refer the patient through the routine face-to-face clinics. 

On your referral form please clearly state that you have already sought advice from Consultant Connect (consider copying the advice to the referral).

For further information on Teledermatology and Consultant Connect, visit the NCL Teledermatology: Dermoscopy service page and view the recording of the latest drop-in session.
