Mr Per Hall

I have been a Consultant Plastic Surgeon with an interest in skin cancer for 30 years.  My Research interests have been broadly on the early detection of skin cancers (melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma) using dermoscopy, computer imaging, telemedicine and artificial intelligence.  I have published extensively in this area and continue to be interested in helping non experts diagnose skin lesions accurately and safely.

I take referrals directly, from General Practitioners and colleagues in Dermatology for skin lesion assessment and management and via my secretary offer a “One-Stop” service for analysis of skin lesions and removal if deemed appropriate on the same day within my clinic at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital.  Where treatments might be more complex requiring reconstructive techniques such as small local flaps (rearrangement of the skin) or skin grafts then these surgeries might require daycase treatment usually under a local anaesthetic.

During my entire 30 year Consultant practice privately and NHS Skin Cancer diagnosis and treatment has been a significant workload.  In my Telemedicine Practice I have reported on detailed images of over 40,000 skin lesions.

I am currently a Locum Consultant at the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds offering support to colleagues in Dermatology by helping with skin cancer biopsy lists having retired from my Addenbrooke's Hospital NHS post in 2023.  I'm also the Clinical Advisor for Skin for a Telemedicine screening company Check 4 Cancer and lecture on the diagnosis of skin lesions using Dermoscopy (a technique that enables detailed information about what a skin lesion looks like via the use of polarized light – recommended by NICE as the standard of care when diagnosing skin cancers).
