Identifying patients at increased risk of melanoma is an important part of primary care.
In this engaging webinar from Melanoma Institute Australia, leading Dermatologist A/Prof Linda Martin will guide healthcare professionals through key clinical and patient factors associated with melanoma risk, the use of risk prediction tools to support personalised assessment, and how to determine appropriate skin assessment, surveillance and specialist referral. Participants will gain practical insights to help identify higher-risk individuals and guide next steps in their care.
The session will also feature Dermatology Clinical Nurse Specialist Denise Wilson exploring the role of nurses in educating patients about melanoma risk and supporting appropriate follow-up.
