This is an all day event.

Times: 08:30 - 16:30

Following the success of our study days with Dr Richard Ashton (Consultant Dermatologist Portsmouth) in 2016, we are running the course again in 2017.   Dr Ashton will introduce participants into using “Differential Diagnosis in Dermatology” (a copy will be provided). This book if used properly will help with many diagnostic problems and gives a treatment synopsis of most dermatological conditions that GPs are likely to come across on a day to day basis.  The day will also include discussions on the management of common skin rashes in general practice and will clarify misinformation over allergy and fungal infections.

The Wessex GP Educational Trust offer an £60 discount on the cost of the course.
