Hi absbay

The waiting times for dermatology appointments are very poor. There is a shortage of staff who work hard and do their very best.And there are too many people me included presenting with skin cancers. They do prioritise serious cases leaving slow growing BCCs Actinic keratosis etc on the general waiting list. Even if you pay for private treatment there is a long wait. Millions of people jet off each year to beach holidays in countries with high UV index and do not protect their skin adequately adding to the future backlog. We all need to proactively protect our skin by wearing hats use sunscreen long sleeves trousers dresses and avoid midday sun when UV is high including at home in UK.
