Develop essential skills for enhancing skin health, ensuring accurate assessment and patient-focused treatment

Clinical Skills and the Skin delivers a structured approach to understanding and mastering the clinical assessment and procedural skills that are essential for delivering safe, effective and compassionate care for patients with conditions affecting the skin.

Part of Peate’s Clinical Skills, a 12-book series that combines knowledge of human anatomy and physiology with practical, confident clinical skills, this volume is organised into chapters covering how to engage with patients, assessing the skin, health promotion, planning care for eczema, vital signs, pressure ulcers, aseptic technique and Aseptic Non-Touch Technique (ANTT), and wound management.

Clinical Skills and the Skin equips readers with:

Clear explanations of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology relevant to the skin Step-by-step guidance on assessment, examination, and procedural techniques, emphasising best practice and patient safety Insights on interpreting findings, recognising abnormalities, and applying knowledge to guide care decisions Guidance on teamwork, infection prevention and control, documentation, and patient-centred care throughout clinical practice Strategies to explain diagnoses, treatment plans, and care procedures to patients and families, while offering emotional support

Clinical Skills and the Skin is an essential resource for all healthcare and social care students—including those returning to practice and newly qualified practitioners—who manage patients with skin conditions and seek practical ways to deliver a higher standard of care.
