Photo from Jan Antonin Kolar
New sessions for Autumn 2024

Do you need to brush up on your knowledge and management of skin lesions? Does your practice have a dermatoscope, but you haven’t had the training to use it?

This training will be delivered again by Dr. Chin Whybrew, an experienced GP with a passion for primary care dermatology (and dermoscopy in particular).

These sessions are FREE to attend and open to any primary care clinician who assesses skin lesions in the following areas:

  • Somerset
  • Wiltshire
  • Avon
  • Gloucestershire

If you have not attended this training before, please attend the sessions in sequence, as they do build on one another.

For more information and to register, please expand the boxes below.

  • Interpretation of dermoscopic structures in benign lesions (seb K, angiomas, warts, dermatofibromas, sebaceous hyperplasia, comedones), BCCs, and melanomas — and how this always needs to be taken in clinical context
  • How to put this all together into a simple algorithm
  • Other uses of dermoscopy in primary care
