Some of the common conditions our inpatient services help treat include:
We are not able to offer any outpatient appointments at the moment.
During this time, if you have any concern regarding your ongoing condition, make an appointment with your main healthcare provider.
We are aware that some patients are on medication that requires a special authority or a specialist endorsement. We have provided information to healthcare providers so they can make sure these are maintained for you.
Your treatment is not affected if you receive medication in hospital for a dermatological condition.
We know that this news will be distressing to patients and are very sorry that we are currently unable to offer dermatology outpatient appointments.
We will provide you with any updates as we have them available to us.
If you have a skin problem, see your healthcare provider for assessment and possible referral.
