Patient referral
If you have been advised to have a diagnostic test as part of your treatment, you may be able to attend your appointment at the CDC if the service you require is available there.
The CDC benefits from being located away from an acute hospital setting, helping to reduce the impact on emergency care within other hospitals, and providing quicker access to tests in a convenient location.
Appointments are by referral only and may come from your referring clinician or GP, with some services available to book appointments at the CDC directly.
Changing your appointment
If you wish to change your appointment, please call the number provided on your patient appointment letter or contact the reception at the CDC on 01709 649250.

Dermoscopy
Dermoscopy is a diagnostic image used to see lesions or moles on the skin in more defined detail.
You may be referred for a Dermoscopy image if you GP is uncertain whether or not your mole or lesion has suspicious features.
After your Dermoscopy, you may be given an appointment for an urgent or routine clinic appointment. If required, you may be booked directly into a minor surgery appointment to have a biopsy or removal (excision) or you may be referred to a specialist clinical service due to the size or location of the legion or mole. Alternatively, advice will be sent to your GP for further treatment if necessary.
