Our headquarters are situated in the historic town of East Grinstead on the same site as The Queen Victoria Hospital, the home of plastic surgery in the UK. The clinic is close to Gatwick airport and only approx 45 minutes from London by train.

We also run additional skin health clinics in Sussex, Kent and Surrey (including Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Haywards Heath, Brighton, Worthing and in central London).
Many people have moles and the vast majority are completely harmless. However, the incidence of skin cancer is rising every year and moles should therefore be checked regularly to detect any causes for concern.
Be ‘mole-aware’
At The Banwell Clinic we offer a comprehensive mole checking service to accurately assess your moles and rapidly diagnose any problems. This is particularly important if you have noticed any changes in your moles; you have lived abroad in a hot country; have had episodes of sunburn; or have a family history of skin cancer.
Please make an appointment immediately if you notice any of the following changes in one or more of your moles:
If you are worried about any of the above, please contact The Banwell Clinic today.
With short waiting times and a highly trained team of practitioners, we can offer reassurance and expedite treatment if required.
“As part of our Banwell Clinic Skin Health programme, we believe mole checks are extremely important and provide much-needed peace of mind for our patients and their families.”
Alison, Team member, The Banwell Clinic
In the world of modern technology, Mr Banwell recommends self-monitoring of your skin and moles with digital photography (Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or similar). Get a friend or partner to photograph specific moles or take a wider view of your chest and back. Using a ruler next to them is a good idea too. Repeating this photography every 3-4 months and comparing the images on the computer next to one another is an excellent method for self-surveillance. This is an easy way to pick up obvious changes and is another trigger to be reviewed by a skin cancer specialist such as Mr Paul Banwell if required.
Any change to a mole as mentioned above is the most important thing but other risk factors include living abroad, episodes of sun burn when younger, working outside, keen sportsperson (golf, sailing, surfing, windsurfing, tennis, cricket, etc) and a family history of skin cancer.
If you live in East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Brighton, Hove, Tunbridge Wells, Worthing, Hastings, Eastbourne, Chichester, Sevenoaks, Horsham, Bexhill, Crawley, Caterham, Guildford, Horley, Maidstone, Channel Islands or London, Mr Banwell would be delighted to see you for rapid assessment and diagnosis.
The cost of Mole Checks at The Banwell Clinic depends on how many areas are being treated
“It has been so reassuring to me and my family to have the expert attention of Mr Banwell performing mole checks on a regular basis.”
