WINNER: Strategic Planning and Performance Group, Department of Health NI for Dermatology Photo Triage e-Referral Pathway

Summary

The Dermatology Photo Triage e-Referral Pathway enables the capture and transfer of images alongside clinical information from primary and community care to dermatology teams in secondary care for patients with suspected skin cancer and urgent basal cell carcinoma (BCC). This pathway supports reform strategy by addressing waiting times, expanding capacity and capability in primary care, improving direct access between primary and secondary care, and enabling secondary care to meet patient demand. It improves the accuracy of the e-triage process, maximising existing systems. The pathway was launched on the charity Action Cancer Big Bus in 2023.
