Specialist expertise
Our skin specialists have expertise in rare and complex conditions, many due to allergies and immune deficiencies, genetic conditions, oral disease, and melanoma (skin cancer) amongst other problems.
Some skin problems may be caused by other conditions such as:
- Auto-immune issues e.g. connective tissue disease
- Neurological problems
- Coeliac disease
- Cancer
Our dermatologists hold joint clinics with colleagues from other specialties to ensure you receive the right care at the right time.
Pioneering research
Many of our dermatologists are involved in clinical research due to our close working partnership with Newcastle University. This allows us to pioneer new approaches to diagnosis and treatment, ultimately improving the care we can offer patients.
Newcastle Hospitals is a key partner in the Clinical Ageing Research Unit (CARU) where some of our clinicians work with the university to understand more about how ageing contributes to skin problems. One of the priority research themes fis skin and oral disease.
