Improving your skin lesion recognition skills

Thursday 06 August

Synopsis: It is often said dermatology is just red rashes and that they all look the same! The key to success is having good lesion recognition skills to make the right diagnosis and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. The aim of this session is to give podiatrists pointers in recognising and discerning between the most common and most important dermatoses that may arise in clinic and suitable treatments.

Format: The session will be delivered as a case-based format, drawn from cases seen in the clinic with interactive discussion around recognition and management.
