The services work alongside an experienced nurse prescribing team, comprising independent nurse prescribers qualified to manage patients on systemic and biologic therapies. Clinical offerings include day surgery, minor operations, dermoscopy, patch testing, photodynamic therapy, and phototherapy. The focus remains firmly on meeting patients’ needs and preferences, with their wellbeing placed at the heart of all decision-making.
