Deborah Hutton is the latest media personality to fall foul of GPs, after claiming on national television that it’s not appropriate for GPs to check patients for skin cancers.

Like former celebrity chef Pete Evans before her, Ms Hutton decided offering medical advice was in her wheelhouse, despite her lack of a medical degree.

Speaking on Channel 7’s Sunrise on Monday, the ambassador for a skin care brand which sells sunscreen waded in on the rights and wrongs of skin checks while promoting an upcoming mobile screening clinic to be run with “proper dermatologists and skin specialists”.

The scheme, born out of a partnership between the skincare brand and the not-for-profit Skins Checks Champions, aimed to screen 2500 patients at a ‘lab’ based at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, she said.
