The MelaTools programme is a portfolio of studies with the overall aim of optimising early diagnosis of the serious skin cancer, melanoma, in the UK primary care. The studies investigate the use of electronic tools to help both patients and GPs to recognise and assess potentially suspicious pigmented skin lesions/moles.
Orion worked with The Primary Care Unit in the Department of Public Health & Primary Care to develop a custom-built database to record melanoma risk assessment data, baseline questionnaire and follow-up questionnaire data. An online screening questionnaire was developed to recruit patients visiting GP practices in the East of England to the study. An eCRF tracker was also developed for the study team to monitor recruitment and eCRF progress.
Please note, the MelaTools programme is not currently recruiting new patients.
