This is to include a multi-disciplinary one stop consultant led community dermatology service; patients shall be seen by a Consultant, Dermatology Registrar, GP with Special Interest or specialist nurse, and where appropriate shall be assessed

Staffordshire boundaries allowing patient choice closer to home. This will need to ensure that any services tailored around disability such as additional needs e.g electric doors, ramps or any
