Inpatient services

Nurse Outreach service

The Dermatology Outreach service provides support to inpatients across the Trust with primary and secondary skin conditions. The service is based at Stoke Mandeville Hospital and also responds to referrals at both Wycombe and Amersham Hospitals. Outreach Nurses are available to support patients from Monday to Friday across these sites. 

Referrals are received via consultant requests and ward rounds take place between clinics on:

• Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Stoke Mandeville Hospital
• Wednesday at Wycombe Hospital 
• Weekdays as requested in Amersham Hospital

Nurses may also refer their patients to the service for advice and support with existing chronic skin conditions and leg ulcer management.

Education and support with topical treatments and disease management is provided to ward nurses to optimise dermatology inpatient care within general ward settings.
