Collaborating to provide care pathways

Tackling waiting lists in Dermatology

Dermatologist treatment times vary between NHS Trusts due to demand and resources. Further delays have been exacerbated by the pandemic backlog, more skin cancer cases, and a shortage of dermatologists. Agile Insourcing reduces wait times for essential tests, procedures, and treatment with additional medical, clinical, and nursing resources. Our experienced specialists can target areas impacting waiting lists, manage the care pathway, and replicate existing systems to deliver high-quality care.

Quality patient care

Additional clinical support from Agile Insourcing within 2 – 4 weeks

We prioritise clinical safety and patient-centered care in our comprehensive range of medical insourcing services, which includes initial referrals, treatment, expert guidance, and discharge. Our team provides care both in-person and virtually to ensure timely and effective treatment. Services cover the following, 7 days a week:

  • Skin cancer and two-week referrals 
  • Minor skin surgery 
  • Teledermatology 
  • General Dermatology

Our approach

Meet some of our clinical team behind the service

An experienced consultant dermatologist, I am a double fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic surgeon and an Honorary Senior Lecturer for the University of Leeds. I have worked in both the NHS and private practice, and am Chair of the regional non melanoma skin cancer MDT.

As a dermatology specialist at Agile Insourcing, I believe insourcing plays a critical role in helping NHS Trusts reduce waiting lists. Having successfully completed several dermatology insourcing contracts for the NHS, with an emphasis on skin cancer in two week wait capacity and minor surgery, I have seen first hand the difference insourcing can make to your department.

Dr. Arif Aslam, Clincial Lead - Dermatology

The level of contact provided by Agile Insourcing with my Trust’s team was outstanding. Swift communication allowed issues and queries to be resolved quickly and the service ran really smoothly. I haven’t had this level of service in other insourcing projects.
