Our new paper on skin checks in primary care found that 1 in 5 skin checks resulted in additional healthcare, which was more likely for people of older age, or living outside the major cities or from more disadvantaged areas @DaffodilCentre @MelanomaAus doi.org/10.17061/phrp3……

I’m excited to be joining @DaffodilCentre as Senior Implementation Scientist in June!View quoted post on X
I wasn’t sure if I was ready for this role at first & I’ll miss the @swsydUNSW crew, but the chance to do practice-changing research with a great team was too good to miss. Let’s do this! 1/2
Only 1 week left to apply for a PhD scholarship at @Sydney_Uni on cancer risk prediction tools in different cancer types working with @SteinbergJulia and me. This is part of a MRFF-funded multi-institutional collaborative study. Come study with us!

Excited to be here with Olympian swim champion Cate Campbell and @MelanomaAus to call for a sun safe sport initiative and greater investment in skin cancer prevention
We're counting down the hours until our Co-Medical Directors @ProfGLongMIA AO & @ProfRScolyerMIA AO, & MIA Ambassador Cate Campbell address National Press Club of Australia on urgent action required to tackle #melanoma. Watch on @ABCTV 12:30pm today. @catecamp @PressClubAustView quoted post on X
Our new paper examined outcomes associated with mode of detection of #melanoma. Slower-growing melanomas were more likely to be detected at a routine skin check and be thinner at diagnosis, whereas faster-growing melanomas were more likely to be patient-detected and thicker.
Population-based study with 12y follow-up found routine skin-check detection of invasive #melanoma was associated with 32% non-significantly lower melanoma-specific mortality compared with patient-detected melanomas after full adjustment for other factors ja.ma/3BGUFnbView quoted post on X
