Duration 5 Days 30 CPD hours This course is intended for This introductory-level, fast-paced course is for skilled web developers new to React who have prior experienced working HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Overview Our engaging instructors and mentors are highly experienced practitioners who bring years of current 'on-the-job' experience into every classroom. Working in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn about and explore: A basic and advanced understanding of React components An advanced, in-depth knowledge of how React works A complete understanding of using Redux How to build, validate, and populate interactive forms How to use inline styles for perfect looking components How to test React components How to build and use components How to get control of your build process A deep understanding of data-driven modeling with props and state How to use client-side routing for pages in your apps How to debug a React application Mastering React is a comprehensive hands-on course that aims to be the single most useful resource on getting up to speed quickly with React. Geared for more experienced web developers new to React, this course provides students with the core knowledge and hands-on skills they require to build reliable, powerful React apps. After the first few modules, you?ll have a solid understanding of React?s fundamentals and will be able to build a wide array of rich, interactive web apps with the framework. The first module is an introduction to the new functionality in ECMAScript 6 (JavaScript). Client-side routing between pages, managing complex state, and heavy API interaction at scale are also covered. This course consists of two parts. In the first part of the course students will explore all the fundamentals with a progressive, example-driven approach. You?ll create your first apps, learn how to write components, start handling user interaction, and manage rich forms. We end the first part by exploring the inner workings of Create React App (Facebook?s tool for running React apps), writing automated unit tests, and building a multi-page app that uses client-side routing. The latter part of the course moves into more advanced concepts that you?ll see used in large, production applications. These concepts explore strategies for data architecture, transport, and management: Redux is a state management paradigm based on the Flux architecture. Redux provides a structure for large state trees and allows you to decouple user interaction in your app from state changes. GraphQL is a powerful, typed, REST API alternative where the client describes the data it needs. Hooks is the powerful, new way to maintain state and properties with functional components and the future of React according to Facebook.

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. Learning Outcomes for 'Dermatology Update' Day for Primary Care Practitioners By the completion of the 'Dermatology Update' Day, attendees, who are experienced and registered healthcare professionals, should be able to: 1. Enhanced Clinical Knowledge and Guidelines Understanding: - Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the latest evidence-based information regarding facial skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and other common dermatological concerns. - Synthesize and apply updated clinical guidelines to effectively diagnose and manage facial skin conditions in primary care settings. 2. Application of Evidence-Based Practices: - Apply the acquired knowledge to make informed and evidence-based decisions in the treatment and management of eczema, psoriasis, and other facial skin conditions. - Utilize current guidelines to guide the prescription of appropriate treatment modalities, taking into consideration patient-specific factors  3. Advanced Treatment and Management Strategies: - Assess a wide range of treatment and management options for acne, eczema, and psoriasis, and demonstrate an improved ability to tailor interventions to individual patient needs. - Enhance clinical confidence in recommending suitable therapeutic approaches that align with the latest medical advancements. 4. Enhanced Recognition of Skin Lesions: - Differentiate between various types of benign skin lesions, showcasing improved proficiency in identifying and classifying these conditions accurately. - Display a heightened ability to identify potential indicators of pre-cancerous and skin cancer lesions, enabling timely referrals and appropriate patient management. 5. Introduction to Dermoscopy and Practical Application: - Describe the fundamental principles of dermoscopy and its role in enhancing diagnostic accuracy for various skin conditions. - Participate in a practical dermoscopy session, applying learned techniques to recognize key dermoscopic patterns and features.   6. Confidence in Practical Dermatology Skills: - Demonstrate an increased level of confidence in approaching cases involving facial skin conditions, benign skin lesions, and potential skin cancer concerns. - Employ acquired practical skills, such as dermoscopy, to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. 7. Effective Communication and Patient Education: - Communicate effectively with patients regarding diagnosis, treatment plans, and potential outcomes for various facial skin conditions. - Exhibit improved skills in educating patients about self-care strategies, treatment adherence, and monitoring their condition over time. 8. Holistic Patient Care: - Understand the psychosocial impact of facial skin conditions on patients and their quality of life, and integrate this knowledge into patient-centered care strategies. - Approach patient care with a holistic mindset, addressing medical, emotional, and psychological aspects of dermatological conditions. By actively engaging in the 'Dermatology Update' Day, attendees will not only augment their clinical knowledge and skills but also enhance their ability to provide comprehensive and evidence-based care to patients with various dermatological concerns in primary care settings.
