Sending In An Image

When to Send an Image

Sometimes it's best for our clinician's to see any issues you may be calling about- particularly skin issues. If you are looking for advice, or would like to make a telephone appointment regarding any skin complaints you may have, you can send us an image to assist our clinician's with their diagnosis.

How to Send an Image

Our clinicians ask that you send one image directly facing your complaint, and one image from the side as they feel this gives them the best information to aid their diagnosis. 

We ask that you please do the following:

  • Attatch your name and date of birth to your email
  • Do not send in any unsolicited or inappropriate images

Where to Send your Image

Images can be sent via email to our secure and dedicated image email address:

After submitting your images, please call the practice after 30mins to confirm receipt of the images, and to check they have been placed into your notes, and a member of our reception team can make a telephone appointment for you.
