Around 15 per cent of GP consultations involve dermatological problems. Skin problems are a common reason for periods of absence from work. The management of skin problems in primary care is therefore a key competence for general practice and is an area in which some GPs will wish to develop a special interest, enabling them to provide an enhanced service in the community.
Here we have collated key articles from our journals to help you meet the curriculum requirements in this area.
These curriculum resources are regularly updated with relevant articles from our range of healthcare publications. All articles are reviewed by GP advisers. We have set the standard lifetime of an article at two years and will aim to renew all articles within that timeframe. However, some older articles will remain in the listing if our reviewers believe there to be no significant changes to the topic covered.
