This is to include a multi-disciplinary one stop consultant led community dermatology service; patients shall be seen by a Consultant, Dermatology Registrar, GP with Special Interest or specialist nurse, and where appropriate shall be assessed and treated in the same appointment. For any patient that requires further intervention through to secondary care, the service will need to work closely with local partner organisations to ensure a swift coordinated pathway is followed and that all service users are transferred to the appropriate specialty with all relevant transfer documentation.

There is a requirement that the service will be provided within community locations throughout Staffordshire boundaries allowing patient choice closer to home. This will need to ensure that any services tailored around disability such as additional needs e.g electric doors, ramps or any form of interpretation (verbal or visual).
