eDerma is a consultant-led triage platform integrated with e-RS, EMIS, and SystmOne. Referrals are reviewed using structured templates to enable clinical triage, Advice and Guidance, and appropriate care allocation within a secure, auditable NHS workflow. The platform streamlines decision-making and improves referral flow across pathways.
LPC is a rapid-access pathway for patients with one or two suspicious lesions. Images are captured by trained practitioners and remotely reviewed by consultant dermatologists, enabling timely diagnosis without the need for a full clinic appointment.
Recognised for elective recovery and impact on health inequalities, our dermatology service sets the national standard for safe, scalable, and patient-focused care.
At DMC, we believe in empowering our patients to take charge of their dermatological health. We’ve created a dedicated Patient Resources page where you can find essential self-care tips, educational materials, and support resources tailored to your needs.

Clinical effectiveness means ensuring that all aspects of service delivery are designed to provide the best outcomes for patients. This is achieved by ensuring that the right care is delivered to the right person at the right time they are in need and in the correct setting.
A patient’s information should always be up to date and correct on any systems used. It should also be confidential through correct storage and management of data.
Risk Management involves having robust systems in place to understand, monitor and minimise the risks to patients and staff and to learn from mistakes. When things go wrong in the delivery of care, our staff teams should feel safe admitting it and be able to learn and share what they have learnt, which embeds change in practice.
Communication with patients and the public is essential to gain insight on the quality of care we deliver, and any possible problems that can result. Public involvement is equally as important to ensure that patient and public feedback is used to improve services into day-to-day practice for better patient outcomes.
This encompasses the provision of appropriate support to enable staff to be competent in doing their jobs and to develop their skills so that they are up to date. Professional development needs to continue through lifelong learning.
This ensures the organisation recruits highly skilled staff and aligns them with the correct job roles. Staff are supported in professional development and to gain and improve their skills.
The aim of the audit process is to ensure that clinical practice is continuously monitored and that deficiencies in relation to set standards of care are remedied. Research goes alongside audits to pioneer best practice improvements.
