In 2012, Greg Harmsworth, Greg Harmsworth set up the Lakes Skin Cancer Clinic. His goal was to offer skin cancer services of a high standard to the Central Otago community. His interest in skin cancer management is longstanding. In 2003, he began furthering his study through the Universities of Auckland and Queensland. He has since undertaken further study through the Skin Cancer College of Australasia completing a Diploma of Dermoscopy and a Diploma of Skin Cancer Medicine and Surgery. This earns him the status of Skin Cancer College Accredited Doctor.
Greg is quick to point out that "early detection of skin cancer leads to much better outcomes for patients."
