Our Essential Dermatology (ED) programmes have been developed in response to demands of VTS organisers and those involved in developing primary and intermediate care services. These programmes cover the essential information to enable a GP (plus some dermatology nurse practitioners) to cope with the vast majority of conditions encountered in day to day general practice. Please note there are two series ED1 and ED2, which cover different topics.
Essential Dermatology feedback
-
If more GPs attended these training sessions, referral into dermatology depts. could be decreased & therefore more cost effective
to the NHS & practices - The best talk on malignant skin lesions I have ever attended
- As a relatively new nurse prescriber found this study day really useful and think it would help to promote these clients for practice nurses/nurse prescribers in general practice
- Super meeting. Fantastic venue with excellent speakers. Great day of learning
- Really excellent – for the first time I feel almost excited about dermatology!
- Well presented, well organised, great enthusiasm and good talk cover
- Will definitely recommend it to colleagues
- Exceeded my expectations, speakers excellent, range of topics covered excellent, common and relevant
- Extremely helpful to have memory stick with notes of talks given and further information. Thank you. Also, length of sessions about right and good speakers. Would recommend it to other GPs.
- Excellent course, enjoyable, improved my knowledge of dermatology, well worth attending – thank you

- Will recommend training sessions to peers
- The most practical CPD course I have been on so far this year – easy practical applicable advice, thank youGood coverage of main 4 common GP diagnoses
- It was really satisfying to have a meeting which was packed full of useful info through the whole day
- Excellent meeting – full of hints and tips, really helpful and very worthwhile, thank you
- Excellent course good value for money. Important and interesting topics. Feel much more confident with dermatology
-
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for delivering such a brilliant day for our Essex GPs and Nurses.
At a quick glance of the evaluations it was very highly rated and many have asked for Essential Dermatology Series 2.
Essex EQUIP March 2017 - Impressive slides, excellent presentations. Not to be missed by any GP!
- Very clear, pitched presentations at correct level. Practically relevant & useful tips. Such personable and clearly experienced speakers – a pleasure to hear
- I think it was one of the best courses for GPs I have attended in a long time. I shall book again and already shared with colleagues learning points & advise them to attend too

25% of the primary care workload involves dermatology and many common skin conditions are managed entirely within the Practice. This workload continues to increase as ongoing changes in funding and the NHS structure move more patient care into the community. Thus, in collaboration with the Consultant Dermatologist, GPs will be increasingly involved in the disease management of chronic skin conditions. Dermatology is an area of medicine that is facing major changes from secondary to primary care. The majority of GPs have little or no training in dermatology.

Following on from the very successful Essential Dermatology Series 1 course there is a need for a widening of the subject to cover other important topics. PCDS have therefore prepared Essential Dermatology Series 2. This will expand a GP's knowledge base and is particularly appropriate for those who have benefitted from the original course but is also at a level which can be readily understood by any GP registrar, GP or interested Nurse Practitioner. You will see that the subjects have been chosen to help practitioners in their day-to-day work dealing with common skin problems.
