The project is concerned with the electronic referral of a patient with a skin complaint from a GP to a Dermatology consultant.  A digital photograph of the patients skin complaint is captured by the GP and transmitted along with the patient details to the Consultant.  The referral data and associated images are stored on a database on a secure server and access by the GP/Consultant is via appropriate browser software.  The project aims to deliver improved efficiency by providing quicker diagnosis, a reduction in outpatient attendances and a saving in patient and consultant time.
