Common Sense Dermatology for Primary Care
Modular Course (can be held as a full day course, or two half day courses)
This modular dermatology course provides primary care clinicians with a practical, common‑sense approach to assessing and managing skin conditions. Delivered as either a full‑day course or two half‑day sessions, the training covers rashes, skin lesions, common dermatology presentations, treatment options, referral criteria and minor procedures relevant to everyday practice.
Using clear, evidence‑based guidance, clinicians will strengthen diagnostic confidence, improve decision‑making and enhance their ability to recognise red flags requiring urgent escalation.
