Dr Isabelle Jonsson-Lear is a grass roots rural procedure GP currently located in Kingaroy, Queensland. She trained in South Africa and obtained MBChB in 1976. Isabelle emigrated to Australia in 1999 and has since obtained FRACGP and FACRRM, and is a Fellow of the Skin Cancer College Australasia. She has many years of rural experience both here and in South Africa and understands the difficulties of being an OTD and the lack of access to a peer support group and assistance.

Dr Ali Ghanem

Clinical Senior Lecturer in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery – Barts and the London School of Medicine & Dentistry – Queen Mary University of London.

Dr Ali Ghanem finds great fascination in reconstructive surgery for congenital anomalies of the face. Congenital deformity not only impedes the physical aspect of development and health but also affects the very meaning of human identity, psychology and quality of life. Plastic surgery brings together knowledge of human anatomy and development along with diversity of skills, precision, technological advances and art. And by addressing developmental errors of the human body, plastic surgery also restores physiological function as well as social and psychological health. Within the wide spectrum of the rapidly evolving plastic surgery practice and research, Ali is interested in microsurgery education, paediatric reconstructive surgery and stem cell based therapies with potential applications on cutaneous, muscle and nervous conditions. He is forever grateful to all his teachers, colleagues and patients in all his training institutions for such a wonderful journey.

WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY

My visit to the Redcliffe Skin Cancer Centre was very exciting and interesting with innovative and unexpected “twists” here and there. Most of all, I appreciated the unlimited access into your organisation and the insight on how things should be done. You have inspired me and I have "converted" to skin cancer management. I thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to experience your environment and I would like to thank every one of the friendly staff at the clinic for their support. Anyone interested in pursuing skin cancer management should not miss the opportunity to visit your clinic.

Dr D. Sulava, Vic

The structured clinical attachment at the Redcliffe Skin Cancer Centre has provided an excellent first-hand experience and insight into many procedural aspects of skin cancer management. It is a well-organised program which has afforded me good practical experience in this expanding area of medical practice. Thoroughly recommended.

Dr A. McIntosh, Vic

I had a recent two-day clinical attachment at Redcliffe Skin Cancer Centre. It is a new purpose-built clinic and really showed me how to run a very high-standard skin cancer practice. All the staff are very friendly and highly efficient. The doctors are very keen to teach and I left with many new techniques and ideas. I can recommend this attachment to any doctor with an interest in skin cancer.

Dr J. Bushell, SA

In Lyon, France, Luc Thomas is the head of a unit with a particular interest in both melanoma and non-melanoma cancers of the nail. These are uncommon tumours and are seen very infrequently even in full-time skin cancer practice in Australia. Luc was an excellent and patient mentor and I would definitely recommend this clinical attachment.

Dr M. Inskip, VIC

I spent a week at the Redcliffe Skin Cancer Centre and it was great. The clinical attachment really covered most of the areas I had issues with and the team provided me with great answers to my questions.

Dr F. Fathi, QLD
