Portland
Clinical Skin

Our dermatology team offers screening services to businesses across the UK alongside its work in the community to relieve pressure on NHS hospitals.

Dermatology is one of the specialisms offered by Portland Clinical.

Our services

Our team visits offices or training centres across the UK to offer private screening services to businesses and sports clubs. We set up our mobile clinic in a private room and invite staff and sports players, one at a time, for a short screening by our qualified professionals.

Using tools like a dermatoscope, we are able to identify any moles or lesions of concern and refer patients for further assessment or treatment if required. We also provide a short training session on how staff and sports players can check themselves at home, as well as general advice on how best to look after themselves.

What we look for

More than half of people in the UK (60%) have or have had a skin condition in their lives. And at least 100,000 new cases of skin cancer are reported annually. Regular screenings and early detection are among the best tools in our arsenal to combat the crisis, alongside educating people nationwide on how to look after their skin and any warning signs to look out for.
