Authors' recommendations:
TD/TDS referrals may improve the prioritization of skin cancer patients and reduce the time to treatment for patients with suspected skin cancer compared with standard referrals. The number of unnecessary visits to a dermatologist may be reduced. The risk of missing a malignancy among those referred by TDS and assessed as not in need to see a dermatologist, is low. The quality of evidence is low for all reported outcomes (GRADE ++00).
