Melanoma New Zealand Nurse Online Consultation Disclaimer

DISCLAIMER: This consultation and any free skin cancer spot check is provided by a qualified medical professional. Its purpose is to raise general awareness about your skin and skin cancer and provide general guidance; therefore a diagnosis will not be provided. Please note that as this is not an in-person consultation, any assessment of lesions will be limited in its nature and as such, this consultation should not replace seeing your usual healthcare provider for any lesions of concern. As you may be having up to only three lesions looked at by a Melanoma New Zealand medical professional, we recommend you also make your own arrangements for a more thorough full body skin check. Please note that this is not a standard dermatology consultation and therefore any other skin issues will not be addressed. Also, the medical professional today will not be able to offer ongoing management of any concerning lesions that are identified though we may contact you as a reminder for particularly urgent concerns. It is therefore essential that all patients attending for an examination are registered with a General Practitioner. If any concerning lesions are identified you will need to make an appointment with your GP, who will be able to arrange the appropriate treatment. Please note that it is your own responsibility to make the appointment with your GP.
