We are situated on the 3rd floor of the Gwyneth Huelin Wing of the General Hospital. Access is via the outpatient department where directions are available to follow.
Parking is available in Patriotic Street car park and we urge you to ensure you have put enough time on your parking ticket.
Opening times
We are open for clinics Monday to Thursday 8.30am to 5pm. We are closed weekends and bank holidays.
Referral process
If you have a skin condition requiring the support of a Consultant Dermatologist and team, you need to get a referral from your doctor. We cannot see patients without a referral letter.
Referrals are triaged by the Consultant to prioritise skin conditions and enable treatment in a timely manner.
Average waiting times
To optimise appointments, we can only see you for the condition you've been referred for. If anything incidental has developed since referral, you need to discuss this with the GP in the first instance.
