Implementing the Digital Dermatology Pathway
The rollout of the new dermatology pathway will begin with early adopting Health Boards in November 2024 with all Health Boards live by March 2025.
The ANIA partners are working closely with Health Boards to ensure the pathway complies with the unique needs of each region.
Clinical leadership will be key to navigating the complexities of implementing the Digital Dermatology Pathway across both primary and secondary care.
PhotoSAF, provided by Consultant Connect and developed by ANIA and its NHS Scotland partners, will provide a ‘pass-through’ image capture solution that will support referrals created in Primary Care to be sent to Secondary Care.
The application will not retain any images or data on the user's device, making this an IG-compliant and clinically-safe process.
The application will offer CHI look-up and SCI Gateway integration plus many other benefits.
