Milestones

I want the UK government to increase funding for NHS dermatology services and introduce measures to reduce waiting times for patients seeking treatment for hyperhidrosis. This could include expanding specialist services, increasing staffing, and improving access to effective treatments.

The effective treatments include treatments such as iontophoresis, medication and other clinically approved options. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that can severely impact daily life, confidence and mental health.
