During January we conducted 150 NHS teledermatology clinics, dealing with approximately 1,500 new referrals which would otherwise have remained on outpatient waiting lists.  Contracts in place are such that there will be significant further growth over the coming months.  We are now seeing access to expertise being made available to areas which have not been able to cope with demand using traditional approaches.  Various NHS bodies have conducted, are conducting, or are about to commence, a number of different assessments of our service, something which we have actively encouraged.  Results available to date are positive from several different perspectives.
