This report presents the findings of a clinical engagement and co-design process that mapped and analysed current, possible, and preferred future state methods for the referral and vetting elements of a digitally enabled dermatology model.

The broader programme aim is to optimise the dermatology referral process at every stage with image capture. It will deliver image capture as close to the patient as is appropriate, using optimised processes and artificial intelligence as is available. It will improve triage, diagnostic accuracy and inform optimal treatment options which are delivered in the most appropriate care setting in a timely way across the whole system.
