Dermatology focused days have been offered by BBO Training since 2017; we are delighted to be work together with Dermatology Education Partnership Ltd as training providers. The Dermatology Update for Primary Care is particularly relevant for GPs and primary care nurses (and pharmacists) who wish to update knowledge on dermatology care, including evidence-based practice and guidance. You will see the programme moves you through from knowledge and guidance/guidelines updates to patient and practical aspects to then seeing how you can incorporate this knowledge into practice at a local level. The new skills you will learn will enhance patient care and may reduce secondary care referrals. The importance of dermatology care and promotion of skin health is essential in general practice. The Primary Care Dermatology Society states that 10-15% of the primary care workload involves dermatology and that many common skin conditions are managed entirely within the practice setting. This workload continues to increase as on-going changes in funding and the NHS structure move more patient care into the community. Chronic skin conditions have a psychological impact on life and healthy living. Supporting and helping patients with self-management is often the key to treatment success. The Dermatology Update for Primary Care programme is attached together with tear off application slip, which should be returned to me at the above address. The day will be led by Julie Van Onselen, a dermatology adviser, trainer and educator who has 25 years experience as a dermatology nurse practitioner. Frankie Brown will be organising and facilitating the day.
