This workshop offers an opportunity for clinicians in Primary Care to refresh their skills in recognition of skin cancers and serious skin conditions.
1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women in the UK will develop a form of skin cancer at least once in their lifetime and early diagnosis remains critical.
The presentation will be led by a GP trainer and learning will be focused on common skin presentations exploring lesions and lumps to include identification and when to refer.
Exploring skin cancer, benign lumps, scabs and affiliated disease, this workshop will offer a blend of PowerPoint presentation, quiz and case studies.
