    Skin Cancer Medicine Clinical Attachment

    The structured clinical attachment at the Redcliffe Skin Cancer Centre has provided an excellent first-hand experience and insight into many procedural aspects of skin cancer medicine management. It is a well-organised program which has afforded me good practical experience in this expanding area of medical practice. Thoroughly recommended.

    Dr A. McIntosh

    I had a recent two-day clinical attachment at Redcliffe Skin Cancer Centre. It is a new purpose-built practice and really showed me how to run a very high-standard skin cancer practice. All the staff are very friendly and highly efficient. The doctors are very keen to teach and I left with many new techniques and ideas. I can recommend this attachment to any doctor with an interest in skin cancer.

    Dr J. Bushell

    I spent a week at the Redcliffe Skin Cancer Centre and it was great. The clinical attachment really covered most of the areas I had issues with and the team provided me with great answers to my questions.

    Dr F. Fathi

    The Clinical Attachment at Redcliffe Skin Cancer Centre was excellent! The purpose of the attachment was to see surgical procedures being performed. Both Dr Colin Armstrong and Dr Victor Harling are exemplary primary care surgeons and their work is of the highest standard. I would highly recommend this attachment for anyone who wants to see how skin cancer surgery should be done.

    Dr M. Inskip

     My visit to the Redcliffe Skin Cancer Centre was very exciting and interesting with innovative and unexpected “twists” here and there. Most of all, I appreciated you giving me unlimited access into your organisation and insights on how things should be done. You have inspired me and I have "converted" to skin cancer management. I thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to experience your environment and I would like to thank every one of the friendly staff at the centre for their support. Anyone interested in pursuing skin cancer management should not miss the opportunity to visit your clinic.

    Dr D. Sulava

    In Lyon, France, Luc Thomas is the head of a unit with a particular interest in both melanoma and non-melanoma cancers of the nail. These are uncommon tumours and are seen very infrequently even in full-time skin cancer practice in Australia. Luc was an excellent and patient mentor and I would definitely recommend this attachment.

    Dr M. Inskip
