What is the AccessGP Skin Clinic?
A premium GP-led dermatology service for adults who want clear answers, safe prescribing, and specialist level assessment from home.
The clinic combines:
- Your uploaded photos
- A full history review
- A video consultation with Dr Trigell
- A personalised treatment and follow up plan
Patients receive an expert opinion without the delays of traditional routes, and without the pressure or upselling of cosmetic clinics. This is a medical dermatology service that focuses on diagnosis, treatment, and long term skin health.
Teledermatology is the modern, evidence-based way to access expert skin advice quickly and safely. Instead of waiting weeks for an in-person review, patients can submit high-quality photos and complete a structured history form, allowing a dermatology-trained clinician to assess their condition remotely.
Conditions We Treat in the Skin Clinic
Our online Skin Clinic provides safe, GP-led dermatology care for adult medical skin conditions. We focus on evidence based assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning that can be safely managed through photo review and video consultation.
Dr Trigell’s experience in primary care and dermatology allows the clinic to support a wide range of skin, hair, nail and scalp concerns.
Avoid Long Waiting Times
Skin problems can have a real impact on confidence, comfort and quality of life, yet many adults wait weeks or even months to see a GP or skin specialist. Delays often mean symptoms worsen, treatments are postponed and flare ups become harder to control.
The AccessGP Skin Clinic offers a faster, more personalised way to get help.
Your request is reviewed within one working day and most video appointments with Dr Anna Trigell are available within a few days, not weeks.
Our GP led service combines clinical expertise with a modern digital approach, allowing you to access high quality skin care from home. You receive tailored guidance, safe prescribing and a clear plan without long waiting lists or unnecessary delays.
This allows you to take control of your skin health sooner and start improving your symptoms straight away.

How to Take Good Skin Photos
Use natural daylight
Take photos near a window in bright, indirect daylight. Avoid flash or warm indoor lighting so the skin appears true to colour and texture.
Take three views
Upload a close-up shot, a mid-range photo and a wider image that shows where the area sits on the body for better clinical accuracy.
Keep it steady and in focus
Hold your phone with both hands or stabilise it on a surface. Tap to focus on the skin before taking the photo to keep details sharp.
