We offer a range of Dermatology and Oncology treatment and procedures.
Dermatology and Oncology Referral Service
Our Dermatology and Oncology service provides a comprehensive range of diagnostic, medical, and procedural care for complex or challenging cases. We manage conditions including allergic and autoimmune skin disease, chronic infections, tumours, and oncological cases requiring chemotherapy or advanced surgical intervention.
Our on-site facilities include an in-house laboratory for cytology, haematology, and biochemistry, as well as advanced imaging modalities including radiography, ultrasonography, and CT scanning to support diagnosis and treatment planning.
For oncology cases, we offer chemotherapy protocols tailored to the individual patient and electrochemotherapy using a specialised electric pulse generator. All chemotherapy administration occurs in a dedicated treatment area to ensure staff and patient safety, and drug preparation is carried out under a fume cupboard in line with best practice guidelines.
