Coronavirus and the STAR Skin Surgery Service
Updated 24th March 2020
Please read:
Following the government’s announcement yesterday, and in line with the ongoing advice from Public Health England, we have taken the decision to cancel all appointments with us at the STAR skin surgery service, and will not be arranging any further appointments until the current situation surrounding Covid-19 provides us with a safer opportunity to arrange it again for you.
We are sorry to be having to take this action, but we at the STAR service consider your health and safety to be of highest priority, and given that the remit of our service is to remove only skin lesions which are of a non-urgent priority, we have taken this decision with your best interests in mind, whilst adhering to the current guidance, and to ensure that all urgent work only can take priority at this time.
If you already have an appointment booked with us you will receive an email if you haven't already, explaining that you will be contacted again as soon as we are able to rearrange your appointment. If you have a new enquiry we are happy to hear from you, but you will be placed onto our pending list, and will be contacted as soon as we are opening our clinic appointments again.
Please do contact your GP if you have any concerns about a changing skin lesion, which will otherwise be considered for treatment on the NHS and not with us.
Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe and well, and stay at home.
With our best wishes,
Miss Samantha Anthony and the STAR service team
