00Photo triageDermatology nurse specialist: photo triage and the eczema clinic
Claire Dunphy
“Send the photo. Worst case I tell you it is nothing and you have lost two minutes. Best case you are seen today.”
00Profile
Claire, in the record.
Claire reads every photograph sent to the triage line, usually within the hour, and runs the eczema clinic, the wound checks and the stitch removals. Fourteen years in NHS dermatology; she can tell a seborrhoeic keratosis from a photo at ten paces but will still book you a dermatoscope if she is not sure.
