Consultant vs GP for Skin Lesions: What’s the Difference and Why Does It Matter?

Not all minor skin surgery is the same. For some lesions, especially those on the face or with a history of change, specialist consultant-led care is strongly recommended.

GP/Nurse-Led Minor Surgery 

  • Often suitable for simple, small lesions 
  • May have limited access to advanced surgical techniques 

 

Consultant-Led Minor Skin Surgery 

  • Ideal for complex, cosmetic, or previously rejected lesions 
  • Specialist techniques for minimal scarring and best outcomes 
  • Rapid access (appointments in days) 
  • Full aftercare and follow-up with the same consultant 

 

Why choose consultant-led care?
Patients who want fast, expert treatment, personal attention, and the best cosmetic results should always consider a consultant pathway. It’s also the safest option for any lesion that’s new, changing, or causing concern.
