THE SKIN CANCER CLINIC @ BAY DOCTORS TAKES ACTION.. NATIONAL SKIN CANCER ACTION WEEK Do ALL SKIN CHECKS FROM 20-24 NOV BULK-BILLED Nurse Kerrin, Dr Shirley Shen, Dr Jodie Yapp Next week is National Skin Cancer Action Week, and one of our local skin cancer clinics has decided there's no better time to promote skin cancer prevention. Dr Jodie Yapp runs The Skin Cancer Clinic Bay Doctors, Wanda Beach shops at Salamander Bay. Next week will see the team doing lots of extra skin checks, all of which will be bulk-billed. "There will be educational posts and videos daily on our Instagram and Facebook pages promoting sun safety, dispelling common skin cancer myths and educating the public to be more aware of skin cancer". They will also be heading to One Mile and Fingal Beaches on the weekend of the 25/26 Nov to spread the message further. Dr Yapp is an accredited skin cancer doctor with the Skin Cancer College of Australasia. Other doctors and their skin cancer nurse at the practice have extra training in skin cancer detection and treatment. The clinic was born out of the need to provide a comprehensive skin cancer service to the residents of Port Stephens, saving people time waiting and often money on treatment at specialists. This need is so great, that Dr Yapp now focusses solely on skin cancer and will be joined by 2 other skin cancer dedicated practitioners early next year. The clinic uses DermEngine technology to document and track suspicious lesions, and liaise with pathologists and specialists where necessary, Facilities at the clinic are suitable to perform complex surgery such as skin grafts and surgical flaps, saving trips to hospital and time away from home. They have recently introduced Total Body Photography, where patients who have many moles to monitor or are at high risk have a series of pictures taken of their entire skin surface. This is repeated at intervals, looking for early change. Dr Yapp loves her job. "There is nothing quite as satisfying as picking up and treating a potentially deadly skin cancer, and we are so happy to be able to provide that service locally".
