Dermatology

Skin problems make up around one-quarter of all new consultations in primary care, yet making a confident dermatology diagnosis can often be daunting. Dermatology Essentials for General Practice is a colourful, practical guide designed to help GPs and allied health professionals confidently diagnose and manage common and important skin conditions.

The book is organised by the patient’s main symptom, making it easy to start where your consultation usually begins. A simple differential diagnosis table helps narrow down options based on associated symptoms and a rich collection of clinical and dermoscopic images, including examples in skin of colour, supports identification.

For every condition you’ll find a consistent structured approach:

Story – the background to each disorder including the importance of family history, symmetry and evolution Look – hundreds of photographs in all skin types, along with notes about distribution, morphology, colour, etc. Feel – smooth or scaly, raised or flat? Check – the signs and symptoms to look for, the investigations to order, and any red flags Treat – management options based on NICE and BAD guidelines, along with clinical gems based on years of experience highlighted.

Whether you’re a GP, nurse, pharmacist, paramedic, or other frontline clinician, this book offers a clear, concise path through the most frequent skin presentations seen in everyday practice.

Reviews for Dermatology Essentials for General Practice: Clinical Gems and Practical Tips

A fantastic resource for clinicians in primary care ‘I cant recommend this book highly enough. It’s packed with an incredible amount of useful information, yet, is easy to read and absorb. The fundamentals are explained clearly, while more complex dermatology concepts are tackled in a way that feels completely manageable. It is a great tool to help you recognise, diagnose, and differentiate routine and more challenging presentations. There are lots of excellent photos showing conditions from different angles and across different skin types - I find this is often lacking in other resources. There are also several practical management tips that go beyond basic guidance and standard online resources. An invaluable resource for GPs and anyone working in primary care who wants to feel more confident with dermatology.’ Amazon reviewer
