This GP ditched the stethoscope for a magnifying glass and torch

There’s a fair bit of detective work involved for many people who work in health care, but they don’t all use Dermatoscopes (a torch and magnifying glass all in one) everyday! Sue Basson does. Sue is a GP who has specialised in skin cancer and now that’s pretty much all she does, and her waiting room is full. In this episode of Health Speak Sue shows you how interesting her job can be, explains exactly what happens when you go for a skin check, what she’s looking for and what so many of us get wrong about our skin how it’s affected by the sun. Reckon you’re getting it wrong too?
SHOW NOTES:If you’re looking for a doctor that specialised in skin cancer, the Australasian Skin Cancer College have a handy link on their website that might help you find the right person in your area. https://www.skincancercollege.org/locate-a-doctor/Plus as Sue says, remember you can always check in with your local GP too.
