Ochre Skin Cancer Clinic Caloundra

Dr Nick Stanley and Dr Shane Carlisle are Specialist General Practitioners who work full time in their special interest area of skin cancer medicine and surgery. They have worked collaboratively together for many years, and they bring substantial knowledge and experience to the early detection and management of skin cancers. Whilst many patients are referred from other doctors supported by Ochre Health as well as local community GPs, skin checks can be booked directly without the need for a referral.

Most skin cancers can be managed ‘in-house’, and decades of local knowledge mean that they have well-established referral relationships with local General Surgery and Plastic Surgery specialists. Dr Shane Carlisle also works as a GP special interest in skin cancer within the outpatient Dermatology and Plastic Surgery clinics at Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
