Upon arrival at the clinic for your consultation, the Scanning Nurse will record your relevant medical history and complete a series of high definition microscopic and macroscopic images of the skin complaint from your referral, using specialist imaging equipment.
Please note that you will not see the Consultant during this appointment.

The images of your skin complaint, along with the medical history taken by the Scanning Nurse, will be reviewed by an AllView Consultant Dermatologist who will provide results and a treatment plan.

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.
