The department employs a team of specialist nurses providing dermatological surgery, skin cancer clinics and chronic inflammatory disease management.

The department is also supported by an associate specialist, 2 Specialty Registrars, 3 GPVTS Trainees, a physician’s associate and two  nurses specialising in skin cancer.
