Fast, secure, dermatologist advice, anywhere in New Zealand

We provide a store-and-forward teledermatology service for New Zealand doctors. Referrals can be sent using SR Referrals directly from your patient management system or via the SR portal.

We provide advice for common skin issues including acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, hair loss and nail conditions. We generally do not review referrals for diagnosis of skin lesions suspicious for skin cancer as these are best seen and managed in-person. However, skin cancer management queries may be accepted.

Referral exclusions

• Children less than 16-years

• Most skin cancer diagnostic queries

• Cases where an in-person dermatology consult is considered necessary

4. Upload referral and photographs via SR Referrals: Dr Harriet Kennedy, DermaLink NZ

   Dr Kennedys location for in-person appointments is Omnicare Health, 106 Remuera Road, Auckland. Please do not use this referral location for DermaLink.

5. Referrals are reviewed and if accepted we will contact the patient via email, if they wish to proceed we will arrange consent and payment directly from the patient.
