Dermoscopy Workshop

This engaging, two day workshop provides a detailed introduction to dermoscopy. It is an ideal course for doctors and nurses wanting to improve or refresh their understanding and ability in this essential skin cancer diagnostic technique. Presented by skilled dermoscopists, this is a practical course designed for those using dermoscopy in primary care practice settings.

The program incorporates 'round the room' case study sessions where delegates will see and discuss a variety of cases.
