About Us
Dr Calum Stannett
Calum was born and raised on a farm in Scotland, and completed his medical training at the University of Edinburgh before moving out to New Zealand in 2019. He is a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners and holds an Advanced Clinical Certificate in Dermatoscopy through the Skin Cancer College Australasia. He is also an Associate Member of the New Zealand Society of Skin Cancer Doctors.
Since moving to the Coast in 2022, Calum has built a reputation locally for his passion and expertise in skin cancer diagnosis and surgery. His determination to improve access to specialist skin cancer services for Coasters led him to establish the West Coast’s first dedicated Skin Cancer clinic in 2025 - SkinScreen West Coast.
In addition to Skin Cancer Medicine, Calum also works at Te Nīkau Hospital in Greymouth. Working throughout Primary and Secondary care on the Coast has allowed Calum to build and maintain strong relationships across the West Coast health landscape, and he regularly receives referrals from both patients and fellow doctors. Calum also maintains links with the Christchurch-based specialist plastic surgery department.
Outside of work Calum is kept busy with three young kids. When he’s not playing with the kids or changing nappies, he loves heading into the backcountry to explore our stunning West Coast bush, building things in the shed, riding his bike and playing the piano.

Hannah was born and raised in Canterbury, and completed her training to become a registered nurse in 2013. She met a West Coast boy while travelling overseas, and they moved back to Greymouth in 2022.
Hannah has overseen skin cancer care at Te Nīkau Health Centre since 2023, a role which has involved assessing patients with digital dermatoscopy, triaging patients for skin cancer surgery, as well as assisting in the surgeries themselves. She has completed a Professional Diploma in Dermoscopy, including a Certificate of Fundamental Dermatoscopy and a Certificate of Skin Cancer Management from Skin Cancer Symposiums . We are very fortunate to have a nurse who is so passionate about skin cancer medicine on the Coast. Although Hannah didn’t know it at the time, she has been part of our long-term vision for SkinScreen West Coast from the very beginning.
Outside of work Hannah is a mum to a busy toddler, and a keen multisporter. In 2026 she completed the Coast to Coast in a tandem team with her husband - an incredible achievement for anyone, let alone someone with a 1 year old at home!
Hannah is available for both Full Body Skin Checks and 1-3 Spot Checks on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as assisting with surgeries every Tuesday.
