Community Dermatology

The Community Dermatology service is based at Bunny Hill Primary Care Centre.

We offer local, accessible, high-quality dermatology and minor surgery services in a primary care setting, shifting care closer to home from hospital and into community settings. We offer a range of treatment options, including cryotherapy, dermojet, minor surgery and topical treatments.

Community Dermatology acknowledge that our patients present with a wide range of skin conditions and strive to provide individual, patient centred care, in a professional and sensitive manner. We provide education and psychological support to encourage self-care for patients suffering from chronic skin problems and offer support for patients experiencing a significant flare up of their skin condition.
