Communitas Clinics Ltd and Surrey Downs Clinical Commissioning Group: Surrey Downs Teledermscopy Service

The team developed a real time referral service to provide timely diagnosis and improve patients’ access to services.

Forty two per cent of patients referred to the service have avoided a referral to secondary care.

Judges were impressed by the significant cost savings that had been made and felt that the team had demonstrated very strong and clear benefits to patients.
