Australians should be confident that their generalist GP is trained to an acceptable level of competence in skin cancer diagnostics

In this issue of the MJA, Pandeya and colleagues report their study of a sample of 1683 Queensland adults diagnosed with first melanomas between 2011 and 2019.1 Their article provides an authoritative insight into who treats melanoma in Queensland and how they treat it.
