The Mole Clinic, the UK’s leading independent skin-cancer screening and mole-check provider, is strengthening its presence in the North West with the opening of its first Cheshire clinic in Wilmslow.

Located at Suite 2, Bank Chambers, Church Street, Wilmslow, SK9 1AU, the new clinic is now accepting bookings for Full Body Skin Checks and Single Mole Check appointments. The expansion comes in response to the continued rise in skin cancer rates across the UK and growing demand for fast, accurate diagnosis, bringing specialist screening services closer to patients across Cheshire and surrounding areas.

Skin cancer is now one of Britain’s fastest-growing cancers. Melanoma incidence has risen by around one-third in the last decade, making early detection more crucial than ever. At the same time, lifestyle factors are driving risk: indoor tanning is strongly linked to skin cancer, with research showing a 59% increased risk of melanoma for individuals who used sunbeds before the age of 35.

Annie Meharg, Chief Executive Officer of The Mole Clinic, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be bringing The Mole Clinic to Wilmslow. Cheshire is known for enjoying the good things in life – from weekends outdoors to regular escapes to sunnier parts of the world. While these are all part of a lifestyle many of us love, they can also mean higher exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation than we might realise.

“Short bursts of strong sun, particularly on holiday, are one of the biggest contributors to skin cancer risk. Sunburn – even if it happened years ago and was quickly forgotten – can have a lasting impact on the skin. Closer to home, everyday activities such as gardening, walking the dog, playing golf or watching sport can quietly add up, especially during spring and summer when the sun doesn’t always feel intense.

Annie continued: “Following the success of our Manchester clinic and the strong support we’ve seen across the North West, this new location represents the next step in our mission to make skin cancer screening a routine part of proactive healthcare. We want to help more people across the region access high-quality, early skin cancer detection services close to home and means people in Cheshire can choose between this clinic or Manchester, depending on what feels most convenient.”

Dr David Veitch, Consultant Dermatologist at The Mole Clinic, added: “Skin cancer remains one of the most avoidable forms of cancer, yet diagnoses continue to increase year on year. Detecting changes early makes a profound difference – it allows for less invasive treatment, significantly improves outcomes, and ultimately saves lives. That’s why regular skin checks should be viewed in the same way as other routine health appointments, not as an afterthought. Our Wilmslow clinic will deliver the same, nationally recognised standards of clinical expertise and diagnostic precision that patients expect from The Mole Clinic.”

He continued: “There is still a widespread lack of awareness around the damaging impact of UV exposure, whether from sun holidays, outdoor activities, or the use of sunbeds. By offering timely access to specialist assessment here in Wilmslow, we aim to support earlier diagnosis, reduce anxiety for patients, and ensure people receive appropriate care as quickly as possible.”
Over the past 20 years more than 350,000 people have benefitted from The Mole Clinic’s services. Its dermoscopy-led approach is clinically audited, independently accredited and trusted for diagnostic accuracy, helping thousands of patients access early treatment and life-saving interventions.

The Mole Clinic’s model is built around fast access, clinical accuracy and early detection. The new Wilmslow clinic will offer:


• Same-day and next-day skin checks
• Expert skin-cancer assessment and early diagnosis
• Fast-track referrals and removals to consultant dermatologists and surgeons covered by ALL major UK private insurers.
• Private pathways with no GP referral required

The organisation will also host a series of community awareness events in Wilmslow throughout the year, promoting sun safety, self-checking guidance, and the importance of regular professional skin reviews.
