"Dermatology melanoma clinic"

My 15 year old daughter was treated in this clinic on Thursday 6 April and had a lesion removed. She saw three different doctors and several nursing staff. I cannot speak highly enough of the standard of care given by every member of staff. She was treated with dignity, respect and sensitivity by all staff, was given full explanations every step of the way and was very much involved in the decision about the course of action to be taken. The doctor who removed the lesion was excellent. They provided encouragement and praise throughout the procedure and treated my daughter like the young adult that she is. The nurse who was present was friendly, supportive and informative. We came away with all of the information we need and an appointment for a week's time when we will get the results of the biopsy and details of further treatment if necessary. It is worth pointing out that the appointment was during the junior doctors' strike (which I fully support and would have done even had my daughter's appointment been postponed) but it was clear that staff were going an extra mile to maintain an excellent standard of care. Thank you to all staff involved.
