00Skin cancer & molesConsultant dermatologist and clinical lead: skin cancer and mole mapping
Dr Helen Marchetti
“A mole check is fifteen minutes. The wait to get one is what does the harm.”
00Profile
Helen, in the record.
Helen spent seventeen years in NHS skin cancer clinics before founding Oakwood in 2016 because the people she most wanted to see, the ones with a mole that had changed, were waiting six weeks to be told it was nothing or three months to be told it was not. She does the mole checks and the mapping, chairs the monthly skin cancer meeting, and still does one NHS list a week.
