Last week, our Consultant Dermatologist Dr. Helen Robertshaw FRCP joined Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital for a valuable Lunch & Learn session at The Orchid House Surgery. This event formed part of an ongoing effort to share specialist knowledge and strengthen connections between secondary and primary care providers in the local area.
Hosted in collaboration with the team at Nuffield Health, the session offered an opportunity to engage directly with local GPs and healthcare professionals, focusing on the role of dermatology in primary care and exploring referral pathways to enhance patient access to specialist services.
Dr. Robertshaw led the discussion with insightful perspectives on early identification of skin conditions, including suspicious moles, acne management, and the evolving role of dermatology in preventative care. The event also served as a platform to encourage more seamless communication between practitioners and specialists — all with the shared goal of improving patient outcomes.
We’re incredibly proud to see Dr. Robertshaw actively involved in these meaningful educational initiatives. Her commitment to supporting the wider medical community and improving dermatology awareness in general practice truly reflects the values we hold at Southface Skin Clinic.
A huge thank you to The Orchid House Surgery for the warm welcome and to all the clinicians who joined us. We look forward to more opportunities to collaborate and share knowledge — all in service of delivering outstanding skin care in our community.
