Send Medical Photos

If you have been asked to send in photographs of your medical problem, you can do so by emailing them to the following address:

loth.Clinicals70521@nhs.scot   

• Please attach all photos as small JPG attachments and remember to add the name and date of birth of the patient in the subject box of the email. 
• Please also remember to write in the body of the email who has asked for the photos so that we can pass them to the right person.
• Please do NOT attempt to send video attachments.
• Please only send in photos if you have been specifically asked to do so by one of the Practice team.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANYTHING ELSE TO THIS EMAIL ADDRESS AT ANY OTHER TIME, UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO DO SO. 

UNEXPECTED EMAILS REPRESENT AN IT SECURITY THREAT AND WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DELETED, UNOPENED.

Please be aware that emails containing photographs are sent via a public, unencrypted, internet service.  As a result, they can, in theory, be intercepted or lost before they reach the NHS Lothian servers. Once received in our clinical mailbox, the photographs will be seen and processed by our administrative team before being passed to the healthcare professional who requested them.  They will then normally be saved to your electronic medical record. Before sending us any photos, please ensure that you are happy with this, and ensure that they don't accidentally show areas of your body that you would prefer to remain private.
