Referral Expectations
Children from ADHB/WDHB referred by a GP will be assessed to be seen in a clinic supervised by dermatologists. WDHB eczema patients will be seen by the WDHB eczema nurse.
Children from other DHBs should be referred to their local paediatric service. Patients who live in CMDHB should be referred to CMDHB paediatric or dermatology services.
Tertiary dermatology clinics are operated for children with complex problems who have been referred by their DHB of residence.
