Dermatology Service

Service update

In line with national guidance we have made some changes to our service as part of Locala's COVID-19 response. The service continues with telephone and online consultations. The information below relates to the usual services we provide.

Our Locala Community Dermatology team is based at the Moorfields Clinic at Fartown Health Centre in Huddersfield. We offer specialist care for patients across South Kirklees 

We are a consultant led team that diagnose & treat a range of skin conditions as well as performing minor surgery.

The team operates clinics Monday - Friday.

A small bio of the team can be found on our Meet the Team page and it gives you a little background information into the team.
