Consultants vs Skin Specialist?
Unfortunately today, there are several practitioners who call themselves Dermatologists, Cosmetic Dermatologists or Skin Specialists who have no Specialist training in Dermatology.
Only Consultants who are on the Specialist Consultant Register of the country’s Medical Council and are able to use the AllView Healthcare platform.
All our Consultants are experts in their specialist fields and are registered with the private medical insurance companies.
