He was President for several years and was involved in negotiations with the Federal Dept. of Health, the RACGP, the Colleges of Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, research groups and other primary care skin cancer organisations. He co-wrote the initial “Skin Cancer Certificate” exam and was involved with the setting up of various dermoscopy and surgery certificate courses and advanced clinical certificates as well as lecturing and tutoring for these events.
