Dermatology Team of the Year

We are a Tier-3 community dermatology service who have been dedicated to serving the dermatological needs of our community since 2012. Over the years, our service has flourished, evolving into a multidisciplinary team committed to delivering accessible and high-quality dermatology and surgical care to patients across East Kent.

In 2012 the service offered one consultant from one location; we now see over 12,000 patients a year, from 6 locations with a team of 22 clinicians. Our ethos revolves around accessibility, quality, and compassion; ensuring that every patient who walks through our doors receives the attention and care they deserve.

"East Kent Community Dermatology work was impressive with how much they have achieved. The team story really comes through and the fact that 96% of patients would recommend to family and friends was extremely impressive. One of the judges said “I would want to work in this team”! The judges could feel the passion and enthusiasm jumping off the page. They provided an excellent description of outcomes and it was clear that teamwork is their cornerstone."
