The Skin Hospital

The Skin Hospital (Skin & Cancer Foundation), a leading not-for-profit centre for dermatology, is the first organisation in Australia to invest in Nikon’s new Eclipse Ui Digital Upright Microscope. The Skin Hospital, which treats every skin condition, including skin cancer, has the largest number of training positions for dermatology registrars in New South Wales. It will use the new, state-of-the-art microscope for a wide range of purposes, including assisting in the training and education of registrars; accurately sharing high quality microscopy-based observation imaging remotely; and in the Research and Clinical Trials department. Georgie Blundell, CEO at The Skin Hospital said, “We are delighted to have the first Eclipse Ui Upright Microscope from Nikon in Australia. Across The Skin Hospital’s three facilities, we have over 55 doctors, including more than 40 dermatologists and over 60 specialist nurses, plus other healthcare professionals. It’s imperative that our team has access to innovative technology that delivers the highest levels of imagery and allows us to share images and information efficiently between our facilities. “The addition of the Eclipse Ui to our existing range of innovative technology, will set us apart and will be hugely beneficial to our Clinical Trials and Research Team. It will also be maximised during training and education, plus a wide variety of other uses.” Images: Georgie Blundell, CEO at The Skin Hospital and James Murray, Managing Director Australia at Nikon; and team members from The Skin Hospital, Nikon and Abacusdx. #TheSkinHospital #Nikon #eclipseui #dermatology #dermatologists #clinicaltrials #research #dermatologytraining #Abacusdx #microsope #innovation #dermatologyimaging #skinconditions #registrars

Evolving evidence suggests that Janus Kinase Inhibitors (JAKi) may predispose to certain infections, including tuberculosis and human herpes viruses. This review, co-authored by A/Prof Deshan Sebaratnam, a dermatologist at The Skin Hospital, aimed to compare the infection risk in patients on a systemic JAKi for a dermatologic indication to a placebo. https://lnkd.in/grxTTs2j #dermatology #dermatologists #JAKi #dermatologic #dermatologyresearch #tuberculosis #herpes #theskinhospital

This publication, co-authored by dermatologist at The Skin Hospital, Dr Deshan Sebaratnam, explores biosimilars, which offer the potential for substantial cost savings within the Australian healthcare system. This is particularly salient in dermatology, where biologics are used to treat chronic skin diseases and cost savings will be accrued throughout the life of a patient. The publication explains that the uptake of biosimilars in clinical practice has been hindered by barriers including insufficient clinician education, concerns about safety and efficacy, and negative patient perception. Increased availability of biosimilars promotes long-term sustainability of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and may help maintain equitable access to healthcare across Australia. Increased uptake of biosimilars has the potential to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the PBS. Collaborative efforts to improve the knowledge and attitudes of clinicians and patients alike are necessary to maximise the potential of biosimilars in Australia. https://lnkd.in/g79DJNeD #biologics #biosimilars #PBS #skindiseases #clinicianeducation #dermatology #dermatologists #skinconditions
