Waltham Forest Community Dermatology Service

The dermatology service provides a 'See, treat and discharge' model for routine dermatology patients that are suitable to be treated in a community setting. The key aspects for a community dermatology service are to provide a model of care for patients outside of a hospital setting. The service will operate to these clinical guidelines: • NICE Guidance for dermatological conditions, e.g. acne, psoriasis, urticaria, skin cancers • British Association of Dermatologists clinical guidelines
