Coronavirus and the STAR Skin Surgery Service


Updated 1st September 2020

We are back!

Following the restrictions placed by the Covid-19 pandemic over the past few months, and an increase in Miss Anthony's NHS commitments as a result, we are now pleased to be reopening the STAR Skin Surgery Service in September.

We are contacting all patients who previously had booked appointments prior to the closure of the service in March, or who have been added to our waiting list since.  We ask for your patience as we work to arrange appointments again, and if you haven't heard yet, you will be contacted very soon. 

The clinics are still held on Saturday mornings at Centennial Medical Care in Elstree.

For all new referrals or enquiries please contact us directly by email at starclinic@drsamanthonyskin.com.  You will currently be added to the waiting list whilst we work through it in date order. 

Whilst we would normally require a referral from your GP, we realise that this may be difficult whilst access to the GP is not the same as it was pre-covid.  If you do have a referral please send it to us with your email enquiry.  If you don't have a referral then you will be asked a few more questions and details by email to ensure that the STAR Skin Service is suitable for your needs. 

** Please be reminded that this service is for the removal of longstanding, harmless skin lesions which are of cosmetic nuisance only and which have had no recent change.  If you have a new skin lesion, or which is growing, changing, or causing you symptoms please see your GP.** 

How we are keeping you safe: 

Centennial Medical Care have an established Covid Policy to esure that your visit is kept as low risk as possible.  Please read their policy here: 

Covid Policy at Centennial Medical Care

Miss Anthony and her nursing assistant have spent the past few months working throughout the pandemic performing skin cancer procedures, and they continue to adhere to the safest protocols to ensure patient safety in the treatment room during your visit.  Appropriate PPE is worn, and room cleaning between patients is carried out, with resting of the room before you are asked to enter for your consultation and treatment. 

We ask that you wear a mask when you attend, but you will be asked to remove it if you have a lesion that is being removed on a part of the face which may interfere with the sterility of the procedure, as we continue to prioritise prevention of wound infections in parallel to considering covid. 

***IF YOU HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS OF COVID OR ARE AWAITING A COVID TEST RESULT IN ADVANCE OF YOUR APPOINTMENT PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THE CLINIC, AND PLEASE CONTACT CMC AND MISS ANTHONY TO CANCEL*** CONTACT DETAILS ARE BELOW
