About Dr Philip Preston

I am the senior Consultant Dermatologist practising in Worcestershire, with a specific interest in identifying and treating skin cancer. I used to lead the NHS service and undertake regular private clinics and skin surgical lists at Spire South Bank Hospital in Worcester. I established the Mohs Micrographic Surgical Service in Worcestershire and led the countywide skin cancer team for over a decade.

My background comprehensive training in General Dermatology enables me to assess and manage all forms of skin disorders and disease. I have a sub-specialty interest in the assessment and mangement of sun-damaged skin, moles and skin cancers. I undertake a variety of skin surgical procedures to remove benign and malignant skin lesions, including Mohs micrographic surgery. I take great pride in my Clinical Practice and aspire to deliver bespoke Dermatological solutions to the very highest clinical standards whilst offering that all-important continuity and consistency of care to my patients.

My interests away from work are centred around my love of sport, exercise and family life. I am a regular Park-runner and cycle (slowly) wherever and whenever I can. I am a keen golfer and play occasional cricket matches in the summer. I am a volunteer junior hockey coach and enjoy nothing more than supporting my children from the sidelines in their various sporting and creative pursuits.
