The Authority aims to implement a single integrated community dermatology service across Mid and South Essex. The service will be Consultant led and will provide a single point of access into all Dermatology pathways, supported by teledermatology. The service will see and treat those appropriate to be seen in the community service and ensure that any urgent suspected cancer, or urgent/red flag conditions are referred promptly into secondary care. The service will ensure that patients are seen by the right person at the right time on the correct pathway.

The event will offer an opportunity to engage with stakeholders and for prospective service providers to learn more about the service. The procurement process and timetable will also be shared.
