Skin cancer care does not end when a lesion is removed. Depending on your diagnosis and risk profile, we may recommend a personalised surveillance plan — because the earlier a recurrence or new lesion is found, the simpler it is to treat.

Scheduled skin checks

Follow-up reviews every 3–12 months depending on your diagnosis, consultant – or nurse-led – full body examinations, with particular focus on previously affected areas.

Mole mapping for high-risk patients

Digital mole mapping tracks change over time, and is particularly valuable after melanoma, or for patients with atypical or numerous moles.

Lymph node monitoring

If you have had a sentinel lymph node biopsy or lymph node clearance, we monitor for regional recurrence, including ultrasound or clinical review where indicated.

Wound, scar and sun protection guidance

Clear post-operative instructions, dressing plans and scar management, including silicone-based treatments and massage techniques, alongside practical advice on UV protection and checking your own skin.

Your consultant will show you how to check your own skin between appointments. Early reporting almost always means simpler treatment.
