About Dr Ruth Harker
Member of the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors.
Member of The Primary Care Dermatology Society (PCDS)

I am a General Practitioner working in Ivybridge Devon for the last 24 years. I qualified in 1980 from Bristol Medical School and after hospital jobs in Bristol, Frenchay and Plymouth settled near Ivybridge to be a GP.

I have developed a special expertise and experience in Dermatology. In addition to my work as a family doctor I run an NHS Dermatology Clinic serving 18 GP practices covering the whole of the South Hams.

This NHS clinic deals with distressing conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne and also skin cancer. In the NHS clinic I have developed a particular specialism in skin cancer performing a wide range of operations under local anaesthetic, sometimes involving complex procedures such as skin flaps and skin grafts.
