The new service will provide a single Integrated Community Dermatology Service, including teledermatology, to support improvement in Dermatology services across the integrated care system, ensuring that patients are seen by the right person, at the right time and on the correct pathway. This will reduce health inequalities, improve patient experience, communication and waiting times for patients.

Support self-care for service users with Dermatology conditions including digital tools, advice, management plans and onward referral/signposting to health & wellbeing and voluntary services;
Provide rapid access to specialist advice and guidance, clinical assessment, diagnostic investigations (teledermatology), diagnosis and treatment ensuring that patients are navigated to the right pathway for their care in line with the agreed MSE Levels of Care
Deliver initial assessment and management providing a one stop model of care, where appropriate, with face-to-face provision across a number of community locations;
Deliver follow up care via patient initiated follow up model with telephone, virtual, face to face and supported self-care or shared care with primary care (where shared care pathways are agreed);
Robust management of pathways, including waiting lists, utilising a Patient Tracking / Management system.
Provide clinical leadership and case management where appropriate ensuring that care is co-ordinated across the pathway;
Participate in Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings with primary, community, secondary and social care as required;
Shared decision making to be implemented throughout the pathway to ensure service users are fully aware of their care and expected outcomes applying the ethos of ‘no decision about me, without me’.
