Why offer skin checks?

Our research indicates it is likely that 20-25% of patients occupationally exposed to UV require some form of treatment for skin cancer or sun damage.


Over 75% of patients who attend our clinics believe they are at high risk of skin cancer, have a spot of concern or are concerned in general about skin cancer yet over 80% do not have an annual skin check or know how to properly self check.


A Skin Patrol onsite program provides a trustworthy and accessible clinic in a familiar setting. They make patients feel welcome, comfortable and provide an experience that goes beyond any medical appointment they have had. We encourage questions and see each appointment as an opportunity to deliver a personalised, relevant health message, which will promote behavioural change at work and home.


Flexible appointment times and an approachable onsite team result in outstanding participation rates and it also provides an opportunity for employees to confidentially address any medical concerns they may have.


Helping patients understand the benefits of early detection and getting them to take personal responsibility for better prevention will help your organisation reduce litigation risks and improve corporate wide adoption of your sun safe policies.


The benefits of a Skin Patrol program to your organisation include:


1. Long lasting behavioural change at work and home to reduce specific health risks
2. Risk reduction through better adoption of your sun safe policy and a culture of early detection through self checking
3. A positive impact on staff wellbeing and corporate culture
4. Security and control. Identification of corporate risk and increased early detection of skin cancer
5. Enforcement of a strong OH&S culture and the verification of a commitment to your staff
6. Clinically relevant and topical. A practical and education focused solution for all Australian's, especially high risk outdoor workers.
