‘Skin Shop’ is a model of care at a high‐volume tertiary centre that describes a registrar‐lead skin cancer service under consultant supervision. Ninety‐two percent of lesions are completely excised, 4.2% are narrowly excised and 3.2% are incompletely excised. Current international guidelines suggest re‐excision of incompletely excised non‐melanomatous skin cancer (NMSC); however, there is a lack of robust evidence to suggest how these lesions should be optimally managed. We describe how narrow and incompletely excised NMSC are managed in the ‘Skin Shop’ and present rates of recurrence.
