A doctor using a teledermatology service needs more skills than one utilising a traditional face-to-face referral. Doctors using a telemedicine service face a greater burden of responsibility and an increased workload than with a traditional referral. A viable teledermatology service must offer online education alongside its consultation service. Telemedicine is an efficient and cost-effective solution to the lack of dermatological services. Appropriate remuneration for referring doctors is vital if telemedicine is to become widely adopted.
