Neil Shroff MBBS, MRCGP

Neil qualified at Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School in 1995. He did basic surgical training at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital obtaining the Associate Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1999. He held hospital posts in Plastic Surgery around the country but came to the conclusion that family life and settling down were more important to him. Therefore he completed the Nottingham vocational training scheme in 2005.
One of his posts was in dermatology, through which his plastic surgery skills came in useful. Additionally, he developed close links with the dermatology department, carrying out waiting list skin cancer work. During this time he completed the Diploma in Clinical Dermatology based at St Barts and the London Hospital in 2006.
In 2007 Neil, along with one of his partners, developed a community skin cancer service that served a population of 110,000 and would see between 12-15 new patients a week. The service concentrated on pre-cancerous skin lesions and basal cell carcinomas. In 2009 the service won a national practice-based commissioning award for "best dermatology redesign".
Neil has given talks to newly qualified GPs and Primary Care Nurses, additionally he has taught dermatological surgery on national courses training dermatology nurses. He is the GP representative for the East Midlands Skin Cancer Network and has been an active participant in skin cancer audit. He is keen on skin lesion and dermoscopy education for primary care.
