SLM GP & The Mole Clinic Partnership
Mole Checks in Liverpool: Our New Teledermatology Partnership with The MOLE Clinic
A changing mole is easy to put off. Between work, family life and the wait for a routine GP appointment, a spot you keep meaning to get looked at can sit unchecked for months. Our new partnership with The MOLE Clinic is designed to remove that delay for patients in Liverpool — giving you fast, expert-backed answers about a mole or skin lesion that has changed, without a long wait or unnecessary worry.
Most moles are harmless. But a new mole, or a noticeable change to an existing one, deserves proper clinical assessment rather than guesswork or reassurance from an online photograph. The sooner you get clear advice, the sooner you know the right next step.
What the partnership means for you
SLM GP has partnered with The MOLE Clinic to offer teledermatology to our patients here in Liverpool city centre.
You can book a convenient appointment at SLM GP on Duke Street, see one of our doctors, and we will assess your mole in person. Where specialist dermatology input adds value, we can capture high-quality dermoscopic images of the lesion and have them reviewed through The MOLE Clinic's expert teledermatology service, with rapid reporting available within three working days.
You get the reassurance of a local, familiar GP as your first point of contact, combined with specialist skin cancer expertise behind the scenes.
Why start with SLM GP?
For most people, the hard part isn't deciding a mole needs checking. It's finding an appointment at the right time. SLM GP is built around exactly that problem.
We offer same-day, evening and weekend appointments, in-person clinics on Friday and Saturday and remote consultations through the week, and imaging access on the same site. Care is built around accessible appointments, personal attention and transparent pricing — so a skin concern that's easy to delay becomes easy to act on.
Seeing a GP first also means your mole is assessed in the context of your wider health and history. And continuity matters when a lesion needs monitoring or follow-up.
When should you arrange a mole check?
It's sensible to arrange an assessment if a mole is new, changing or causing concern. Warning signs include a change in size, shape or colour, an uneven edge, itching, bleeding, crusting, or a mole that simply looks unlike the others on your skin.
A useful prompt is the ABCDE guide: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter and Evolving change. It isn't a diagnostic tool, and not every concerning mole follows these patterns. A mole can be worth reviewing even if it fits none of them.
If a skin change is rapidly worsening, bleeding without explanation, painful, or accompanied by other worrying symptoms, don't wait for a routine opportunity. Seek medical advice promptly.
A clear route from concern to next step
A good mole appointment does more than provide a quick glance. You should have time to describe what you've noticed, when it began, and any relevant personal or family history. From there, your SLM GP doctor can advise whether monitoring, teledermatology review, treatment or onward referral is the right path. The Mole Clinic are our chosen specialist clinic.
There's an important balance here. Not every mole needs removal, and removal isn't automatically the best answer for every lesion. Where further specialist input is needed, you'll be given a clear explanation of why, what happens next, and any likely costs before anything proceeds.
Convenience shouldn't mean compromise
Private healthcare isn't only for those seeking a luxury experience. Often it's simply about seeing a doctor when ordinary life makes conventional hours difficult. Evening, weekend and same-day availability is particularly valuable when a concern arises and you don't want to postpone it for weeks.
If something on your skin has changed or doesn't feel right, arranging a professional assessment is a calm, sensible next step.
