How do I return school forms during the school holidays?
You can provide us with a copy of a recent school report. However, this will only be considered suitable for triage if there is adequate information to determine whether an assessment is appropriate. If this is not the case, our clinicians will need to await completion of the school forms when they reopen.

The procedure is available through self-pay only. Minor Skin Surgery starts from £375 and will increase in price depending on the nature of your procedure. We will confirm the actual price of your procedure during the Initial Consultation, which costs £80.
Is the procedure a fixed cost?
The price of our Minor Skin Surgery appointments will vary depending on the person and factors, including the number of lesions to remove. There are no hidden costs, so you can decide if the procedure is right for you after your Initial Consultation with one of our clinicians.
