Teledermatology is one of the most important and commonly employed subsets of telemedicine, a special alternative to face-to-face (FTF) doctor--patient consultation that refers to the use of electronic telecommunication tools to facilitate the provision of healthcare between the "seeker" and "provider." It is used for consultation, education, second opinion, and monitoring medical conditions. This article will review basic concepts, the integration of noninvasive imaging technique images, artificial intelligence, and the current ethical and legal issues.

Article Synopsis
- Ovarian cancer patients with Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) may benefit from PARP inhibitor therapy after platinum chemotherapy, and predicting this benefit through whole slide images (WSIs) could provide a quicker and less costly alternative to molecular tests.
- A Deep Learning (DL) model was trained on H&E stained WSIs using a specific HRD ground truth, and it was tested on a separate cohort to see how well it predicted HRD status and the benefit of olaparib treatment.
- Although the model showed potential, with a significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) for HRD positive patients treated with PARP inhibitors, its overall prediction accuracy was lower than desired, indicating that further
A review of consent policies in Dermatological Surgery in the United Kingdom and the impact of leaner pathways and teledermatology on consent.

Obtaining valid consent is an ethical and legal requirement in clinical practice, ensuring patients are adequately informed about their treatments. Recent updates in consent policies, including GMC guidance, the Patterson inquiry report, and key legal rulings like Montgomery, emphasise a shift towards patient-centred care and the importance of a comprehensive patient-clinician dialogue. Budget constraints and increasing NHS demand have led to the adoption of digital solutions and streamlined pathways, such as teledermatology and direct booking to surgery, potentially compromising the consent process.

Background: Teledermatology has been widely deployed over the past decade in France, becoming an indispensable tool in daily practice. Pediatric dermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology limited to a small number of specialists. In 2013, the Argenteuil Hospital developed a structured store-and-forward (SAF) service that is particularly well-suited for the field of pediatric dermatology.
