Can I book Acne Treatment without seeing a GP first?
- Yes. Acne Treatment is a private service you can book directly with us, with no GP referral and no need to be registered with a nearby practice. If your needs would be better met by a GP or hospital, we will tell you clearly and point you in the right direction.
