Send us a Photograph

All photographs will be forwarded to a GP for review.

If a member of our team has asked you to send a photograph of a skin issue e.g. mole or a visible swelling prior to your GP/Nurse consultation, please follow the guidelines below and complete the Clinical Photograph Upload form.

• Photographs should not be taken of skin issues if they will expose the breasts (in females) or groin/genital area (all patients) – please bear in mind that photographs will be seen by administration staff
• Photographs should be clearly focused
• Take the photograph as close up as possible with a measuring tape or ruler placed next to the affected area to allow size to be determined
• Check that the photograph gives a good representation before uploading it

Please note:

• These photographs will be stored in your electronic GP patient record for the purposes of management and study of your clinical condition
• If further management is felt necessary, it may be emailed to a specialist for their opinion

If you have any concerns regarding the storage and use of your photographs please contact us at the surgery to discuss this.  If we do not hear from you, we will accept this as implied consent for all of the above.

By uploading and sending us your photograph in the below form you are consenting to the images being stored in your medical record.
