Designed for rural doctors to get access to practical dermatology advice and education from dermatologists and a plastic surgeon experienced in treating rural patients.With long waiting lists to see a dermatologist and rural patients needing to travel hundreds if not thousands of kilometres to see the Specialist in person, Tele-Derm can improve timely access to services and reduce the need to travel for patients in rural and remote Australia.
Tele-Derm is an internationally recognised online resource with over 1000 education cases, how to guides, videos and webinars. This is a rich platform of dermatology education material that you can access online in your own time 24 hours a day.
Rural doctors seeking specific guidance on a case can submit that case for advice. The service was established in 2003 and has Specialists with expert knowledge in a variety of skin conditions including paediatrics and skin surgery.Tele-Derm is hosted by ACRRM and is funded by the Department of Health, Rural Health Outreach Fund (RHOF)
