Clinical images supplied to DermNetNZ

Introduction

DermNetNZ has a vast resource of images. However there are some topics without illustrations and others where the quality of the clinical images is poor. We welcome contributions to our library.

Requirements

• The images should be good quality: in focus, properly exposed, plain background.
• The patient should not be identifiable: no full face pictures are acceptable without the express consent of the patient for it to be published in this form on DermNet NZ.
• Evidence of patient consent must normally be provided for publication.
• Some unique or historical images may be acceptable without a written consent form providing the image is non-identifiable.
• Please advise whether you wish your contribution to be specifically acknowledged.
