Melanoma Focus Doctors Census 2023

January 2023

Melanoma Focus is a national UK charity dedicated to providing information and support to melanoma healthcare professionals and patients as well as raising awareness of melanoma.

As experts in melanoma, we have built a community of melanoma specialists who underpin our commitment to melanoma education and research.

Aim: To undertake a census of melanoma doctors of all grades, across the United Kingdom, in order to determine how better Melanoma Focus can provide support and educational tools for you and your patients.

This melanoma medical census should only take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

This census is now closed- thank you to everyone who took the time to complete it.
