We are exploring the future provision of dermatology services and need your help.

Dermatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the skin, hair and nails and covers conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema.

Are you -
- someone who has experienced dermatology services?
- supported a friend, relative, or a person that you care for to access dermatology?
- representing a community group?
- a health and care professional?

If so we'd very much appreciate it if you'd share your experiences so we can make local services even better. Give your views here by Sep 20 - https://www.letstalksnee.co.uk/dermatology

Do please share, thank you.
