Clinics for skin cancer children

Dr Dilnawaz wants to bring more focus to paediatric dermatology

Specialist clinics are being set up to help children with skin cancer across Lincolnshire.

The service is being expanded because of the appointment of a new consultant dermatologist, Dr Mansoor Dilnawaz.

He has been appointed to work at Boston's Pilgrim Hospital and will also run weekly clinics at Lincoln County Hospital and in Skegness and Spalding.

Dr Dilnawaz hopes to expand existing dermatology services and bring more focus to paediatric dermatology.

He said: "I... look forward to introducing and developing paediatric dermatology services in the region.

"Skin diseases in children are quite common and in particular it is important that they are seen in separate clinics."
