Where we see patients
Clinics across the UK
Each clinic offers the same standard of care. What differs is which treatments are carried out on site.
About the clinic
A clinic built around one thing
The Skin Cancer Institute is a specialist skin cancer screening and surgery service. We assess moles and skin lesions, remove them where that is the right course, and send everything we remove for laboratory analysis.
We are part of The Surgical Consortium, and registered with the Care Quality Commission, the independent regulator of health and social care in England.
Every lesion is analysed
Whatever we remove goes to a laboratory for histology, whether or not there was any clinical concern.

"We cannot thank our surgeon Mr Pahal enough for the exceptional care shown to my father during his skin cancer removal. From the very first consultation, we felt reassured and in safe hands. The procedure was carried out with great skill and professionalism, and my dad's experience has been wonderful. What truly set the experience apart was the kindness and patience shown at every step — nothing was ever too much trouble. We are so grateful for the outstanding care that has given our whole family such peace of mind."

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our specialist skin cancer and dermatology services
What skin conditions do you treat?
We specialise in diagnosing and treating all forms of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. We also offer mole checks, skin lesion removal and cyst removal.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
We aim to see patients as quickly as possible. Most patients can be seen within one to two weeks of their initial enquiry. Urgent cases, such as suspected melanoma, are prioritised and may be seen sooner.
Are you CQC registered?
Yes. The Skin Cancer Institute is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England. This means we meet rigorous standards for safety, effectiveness, and patient care.
Do you offer self-pay pricing?
Yes. We offer clear, transparent self-pay pricing for all our procedures. You can view our full pricing list on our Procedures & Pricing page. There are no hidden fees — the price you see is the price you pay.
Do I need a GP referral?
A GP referral is not required for most of our services. You can book directly with us as a self-pay patient. However, if you are being referred through an insurance provider or the NHS, a referral letter from your GP or another clinician may be needed.
