Also new to this website is a selection of online videos from the Advances in Melanoma Care Symposium (8 & 9 August 2009). These videos will be made available only to our clinical Network members because the material contained within them is, at times, highly technical and some contain disturbing images. See terms and conditions of use. These clinical videos are within the password protected "Members" section of our website. If you have any trouble getting access to these videos please email us at info@melanomanetwork.org.au. Access to these videos is not automatic. We may need some verification of clinical status before access is permitted.
