New patients will be required to register with the hospital or clinic where their consultation takes place prior to seeing Dr Wakelin.  

New Consultation

A ‘New Consultation’ denotes a consultation for all new patients who have not seen Dr Wakelin previously and for patients who have been seen previously but have a new skin complaint. This is the definition which will usually be accepted by medical insurance companies.

Arrive Early

Please come to the clinic at least 10 minutes before your appointment so that you can complete the clinic's registration forms. This ensures that all the time allocated to your appointment is spent with Dr Wakelin.   

Please bring all relevant

information including your

GP details

Letter of referral

Insurance details with  membership number and pre-authorisation code. 

Follow Up Consultation

A follow-up consultation will usually take place shortly after your new consultation for example to assess the success of your treatment or the results of investigations.

A Minor Surgery Appointment

is scheduled for 30 minutes or more and usually takes place at a different time from your consultation. You may need to contact your insurance company in the interim to ensure cover for any procedures and this may require completion of a

claim form.  

For non-urgent procedures, please consider the timing of any special events or holidays as skin wounds may take several weeks to heal and may require non-absorbable sutures (which will need removal).

Investigations including blood tests, skin swabs and histology of skin samples and the use injected medication or surgical equipment for minor operations will incur a separate charge which is payable to the hospital or clinic.
