DermDesk for GPs

You see skin every day — and studies show GPs rate dermatology among the areas they feel least confident in. DermDesk puts a specialist alongside you at the moment the clinical decision is being made.

When GPs reach for DermDesk

The rash you're 80% sure about

Confirm your working diagnosis before committing to a treatment course — and avoid the follow-up visit when first-line treatment doesn't land.

The mole you don't want to sit on

Get a specialist's view on suspicious lesions the same day, with a clear recommendation: monitor, biopsy, or urgent referral.

The paediatric skin complaint

Parents want answers today. A same-day specialist opinion means you can reassure or escalate with confidence, while the family is still in the room.

The chronic condition that isn't improving

Eczema, psoriasis, acne that has stopped responding — get an updated management plan without sending the patient on a three-month referral journey.
