Skin cancer awareness has been in the news again today, with increasing discussion around delayed diagnosis and rising concern about changing moles and skin lesions.

At Peninsula Private Medical, we know many people are unsure whether a mole or skin change is something to worry about, or simply find themselves waiting a long time for reassurance.

While many skin changes are harmless, it is important not to ignore:
• A mole changing in size, shape or colour
• New or unusual skin lesions
• Persistent scabbing or bleeding
• Areas that itch or do not heal properly

Our GP-led mole check and skin assessment service provides a professional review in a calm and supportive environment, with onward referral or treatment advice where needed.

In selected cases, we can also offer minor skin surgery through our Peninsula Surgical service.

Most importantly, if something has changed and you are concerned, it is always worth getting it checked.

As we head into summer and spend more time outdoors, it’s a good reminder to pay attention to your skin and any changes to moles or skin lesions.

Most moles are harmless, but changes in size, shape, colour, itching, bleeding, or a mole that simply looks different from the others are all worth getting checked.

We’ve put together a new blog looking at:
• What warning signs to look out for
• The ABCDE guide to melanoma
• Risk factors for skin cancer
• Simple ways to protect your skin this summer
• When to consider a mole check appointment

Early assessment can provide reassurance and, where needed, support earlier diagnosis and treatment.

It has been a few months since we opened the doors to Peninsula Private Medical at Waterloo Court, and we wanted to share a genuine thank you.

Starting a new GP service is always a leap of faith. We hoped our community would see the value of having another option for accessible. personal healthcare – and your support has made all the difference.

Every patient who has visited, every bit of feedback and every recommendation has helped us grow. We are grateful for the trust placed in us and for the warm welcome we have felt from day one.

A huge thank you as well to our neighbours across the Waterloo Court Health & Wellbeing Hub. It has been inspiring to see this space come to life and to work alongside such a wide range of practitioners.

We are still at the beginning of the journey, and we will continue listening. improving and building a service that truly supports our local community.

Thank you for helping us get started. We look forward to seeing what the next few months bring.

We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone to Waterloo Court Health & Wellbeing Hub tomorrow for our Menopause Open Morning 💜

It’s been wonderful to see the energy and awareness this week, and we’re so pleased to be working alongside Sharon from The Menopause Wellness Centre and Claire from Nourish to Soar to offer joined-up, compassionate support for women navigating menopause.

Join us between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm for a relaxed drop-in, a chance to meet the team, and short talks from our wellbeing partners.

It’s been such an inspiring week for Menopause Awareness Week 💜

I’ve been truly honoured to deliver two talks for a large UK employer who genuinely want to support their workforce - one session for women navigating menopause, and another for partners learning how to better support their loved ones.

I was completely blown away by both groups - the openness, the questions, and the willingness to learn. Knowing I’ve helped make a difference means so much.

Tomorrow, I’ll be at Court Health and Wellbeing Hub for our Menopause Open Day, where we’ll be officially launching our new Menopause Clinics!

It’s been a busy but incredibly valuable week - and I honestly love what I do.

If you’d like to work with me or find out more about how The Menopause Wellness Centre can support you, I’d love to hear from you. 💖

📩 Message me or visit The Menopause Wellness Centre to start your journey.
