Skintel Academic Centre
Giving back to the community by improving the delivery of care to advance the world’s skin health and research.
Teaching.
Ensuring the next generation is equipped to provide exceptional care for skin health.
Teaching Locally.
We convene regular teaching sessions for doctors and nurses. This includes GPs as well as trainee dermatologists.
We also host regular peer review sessions such as complex case meetings and journal clubs – to ensure we are all up to date.
Educating the World.
We have also presented our ground-breaking research on the international stage.
This includes the prestigious World Congress of Dermatology in Singapore – a conference that only happens once every four years.
Research.
Why does Skintel do Research?
Unfortunately, medicine is an inexact science. This means that as a profession we are constantly learning and research is a critical component of that.
At Skintel, we have built dedicated facilities to foster a culture of continuous improvement. Unfortunately, research and publications amongst dermatologists have declined over the last 5 years, at Skintel we are hoping to reverse that trend.
Our Current Research.
Developing an artificial intelligence system to help with diagnostic support in Mohs surgery.
Developing a risk prediction tool for identifying patients at risk of recurrent SCC.
Identifying methods to reduce the carbon footprint of delivering skin cancer treatment.
