Dermatology Service Update

From 1 April 2026, the Dermatology service currently provided by HCRG Care Group will be delivered by DMC Healthcare, a clinically led, CQC-registered provider of NHS services.

If you are currently receiving care from the Dermatology service, or are waiting for an appointment, your care will continue as planned. You may continue to see some of the same clinical team and attend appointments at the same location.

Your medical records will be securely transferred to DMC Healthcare so they can continue your care without interruption. DMC Healthcare will contact you when your appointment is due.

If you have any questions about your care in the meantime, please continue to contact the Dermatology service as usual.
