Tele-Derm: a diagnosis from a dermatologist in 48 hours

Tele-Derm* is an online resource designed primarily for rural doctors interested in obtaining practical advice on the diagnosis and management of skin disease in general practice.

Submit a digital photo of affected skin and a history (and diagnosis, if you’ve made one). An experienced dermatologist examines the evidence, and reports back to you - usually within two days - with diagnosis and/or treatment options.

GPs are also able to access online dermatological case studies, education opportunities, recommended links, and discussion forums. Dr Jim Muir moderates these discussions and answers questions arising in the forums.

Tele-Derm also allows rural doctors anywhere in Australia to electronically submit specific de-identified cases for assessment.

Features & Benefits

Receive a diagnosis on your cases from an expert dermatologist within 48 hours.

Access online cases and discussion forums to increase clinical knowledge and confidence in managing skin conditions.

Save patients the worry of long waiting times and the expense of travelling to specialist appointments.

Start treatment or remedial action sooner.

Access to Tele-Derm is FREE for ACRRM members, RRMEO subscribers and GPs who work in rural Australia.
