The British Association of Dermatologists recognise GPs as GPs with an extended dermatology role. This is a recognised qualification.

GPs with this qualification can diagnose and treat skin disorders. Not all doctors are trained in dermatology to the extent of a GP with an extended role in dermatology.

At MUMS we understand the constraints of the NHS waiting times.  The NHS describes minor surgery as a procedure of limited clinical value and so it is difficult and frustrating to obtain assessment and treatment swiftly. Opting for private dermatology and minor surgery can remove undue stress. It is, for this reason, we are working in partnership with expert GPs in Dermatology to serve the local population with fast access to dermatology to avoid delays in diagnosis.

As skin complaints are visible to yourself and others, unlike a lot of other illnesses – this can have an impact on your confidence. Lesions, cysts, lumps, bumps, warts, and skin tags – can all be removed in a one-stop shop setting at MUMS – at affordable pricing.

We are proud of our patient testimonials, and our service users' satisfaction rates – we aim to please. You can call us on 0121 704 2669 or send us an enquiry via our website enquiry channel. You can even book online. If you want to email our friendly team for more information administrator@mums.me.uk

We have ample parking.
