Skin cancer is frequently encountered in general practice, and having confidence in assessing suspicious lesions, selecting appropriate investigations and understanding when referral is appropriate can make a valuable difference to patient care.
MP Skin Education has been established to provide practical learning opportunities for GPs and GP registrars who are interested in developing their skills in skin cancer diagnosis, dermoscopy and procedural management.
.
The program will include small-group practical workshops, clinical observerships and other educational opportunities designed to provide useful, hands-on learning that can be applied in everyday general practice.
Observerships provide an opportunity to see skin cancer consultations and procedures in a real clinical setting.
This allows great opportunities to gain insight into how lesions are assessed, investigated and managed.
Observerships are informal and are subject to patient consent, clinic availability and appropriate clinical circumstances.
The sessions are intended to complement existing GP training and provide practical exposure to the day-to-day management of skin cancer.
MP Skin Education aims to create opportunities for GPs and GP registrars to learn from clinical experience, discuss challenging cases and develop practical skills in a supportive environment.
