About This Clinic

Chelsea and Westminster Dermatology is a specialist department operating from two hospital sites – Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital. The department, with a history dating back to 1993, offers a full spectrum of dermatological services for both adults and children. It provides daily outpatient clinics, inpatient care for complex cases, and dedicated day care units for treatments such as phototherapy, iontophoresis, and photodynamic therapy. Specialist clinics address conditions including acne and rosacea, camouflage for scarring, genital dermatology (vulval and penile), HIV-related skin issues, inflammatory skin diseases, and skin cancer, with procedures ranging from patch testing and skin surgery to Mohs micrographic surgery. The facility features modern treatment areas, a teaching room with a library, and twin theatres, supporting both clinical care and education. Acute dermatology services run weekdays from 9am to 5pm, with out-of-hours cover available during evenings and weekends via A&E or GP referrals. GP referrals are accepted electronically. While specific parking details are not provided, both hospital sites are generally accessible in central London. The team comprises experienced dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and specialist nurses, ensuring comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.
