Abstract:
:Teledermatology has been the focus of much interest in recent years. Potential uses include a simple supporting role for primary care, more accurate triage of dermatology patients or an 'advice only' service reducing the need for dermatology patients to attend outpatient clinics. With the current under-provision of dermatology services in the UK and the waiting list targets set by government, teledermatology systems have been proposed as a possible solution. 'Store and forward' teledermatology systems are easy to set up and it has been shown that accurate diagnoses can be made using digital images attached to an E-mailed history. In an area of geographical isolation a store and forward teledermatology system has been used successfully to reduce patient waiting times. In Peterborough we have been using a store and forward teledermatology system for over 4 years. Our experience has demonstrated that for only a small number of selected patients was it possible to provide an advice-only service, but the majority of patients still need to be seen in the outpatient clinic. Despite the technical simplicity of these systems today there is still little evidence that teledermatology will have a significant impact on patient workload in the average dermatology clinic. It must be recognized that teledermatology is potentially a useful communication tool for selected patients in primary care but is unlikely to solve waiting list problems or replace the need for local dermatology services.
