This study is being done to find out if video consultations (telemedicine) can be used to safely and effectively assess and manage skin problems caused by cancer treatments. Instead of always coming to the hospital for a face-to-face appointment, the patient may be able to use thier smartphone or computer to show your skin to a nurse or doctor over a secure video call. the researchers want to see if this is as good as a regular clinic visit, and whether patients and staff are happy with this new way of working.
