Abstract

Role for Osteopaths?  Osteopaths are Primary Practitioners  Osteopaths often see and examine patients in a state of undress  As health care providers, there is a likelihood that osteopaths can be trained to a good level of skill in melanoma screening  Early Detection Advisory Group (2006) recommends a programme to “increase knowledge about skin cancer, particularly melanoma, among other relevant health workers”
