This course focuses on the application of dermoscopy for suspicious skin lesions. Participants will learn to identify lesions in different skin types including fair, dark and sun-damaged skin. It covers an overview of factors that influence the morphology of skin tumours and then discusses the skin-type related nevus patterns and clues to consider for diagnosis. The course also discusses the skin-type related pattern of epithelial skin malignancies, the age-related frequencies of skin tumours, and finally, the differential diagnosis of flat, pigmented macules on sun-damaged facial skin. Dermoscopic images are presented throughout the course to assist with the above discussion.

This course focuses on the application of dermoscopy for suspicious skin lesions. Participants will learn about the four main categories of melanoma lesions: lentigo maligna, superficial spreading, acral lentiginous and nodular melanoma. These lesion categories represent distinct histopathologic subtypes of melanoma and have different dermoscopic presentations. The course focuses on the superficial spreading and nodular melanoma types and then discusses pigmented and non-pigmented lesions. It explains in detail the use of dermoscopic clues to differentiate pigmented and non-pigmented variants of melanocytic and epithelial skin cancer. Common and uncommon dermoscopic clues used in diagnosing nodular skin tumours are included. Dermoscopic images to support learning are presented throughout the course.

This course focuses on the application of dermoscopy for suspicious skin lesions. Participants will learn about the use of digital dermatoscopy to effectively manage and monitor patients with multiple moles. Images are used throughout the presentation to discuss dermoscopic clues to identify and differentiate between growing nevi and melanoma. The course covers melanoma risk and phenotype of numerous large nevi that have a common genetic basis. It outlines that removing these nevi does not necessarily reduce the risk of having melanoma. The course discusses the terms ‘atypical’ and ‘dysplastic nevus’, terms used to indicate the relationship of a nevus to melanoma and may be used to indicate a specific precursor of melanoma or melanoma simulators.

This course focuses on the application of dermoscopy for suspicious skin lesions. Participants will learn about the use of dermoscopy in diagnosing, managing and monitoring treatment options for non-melanoma skin cancers. Factors to consider for diagnosis and treatment options of various BCC are considered. The various criteria of BCCs are separated into four main categories: pigmented structures, vessels, ulceration, and translucency. The course outlines how to diagnose, manage and treat different in-situ SCCs including actinic keratosis and Bowen’s disease, and then moves to invasive SCC. Clinical cases are considered and dermoscopic images are used throughout the presentation.

This course focuses on the application of dermoscopy for suspicious skin lesions. Participants will learn that most melanomas are morphologically and dermoscopically evident but there are still some that are featureless. This course focuses on the management rules and diagnostic strategies used in detecting and diagnosing melanomas. These include full body checks on high-risk patients, applying dermoscopy on all lesions, excising or monitoring solitary lesions, comparing and monitoring patients with multiple nevi, excising doubtful nodules, considering the context of the patient and integrating clinical and histopathologic findings. Dermoscopic images are presented throughout the course to assist with the management rules discussions.

This general dermatology course focuses on skin ulcers, pressure sores and wound care. The course introduces a guide to identifying skin ulcers, pressure sores and wound care including treatment for a range of pressure ulcers. The definition, symptoms and stages of pressure injuries are outlined including the wound healing process. The second section involves eight clinical cases and looks at how to identify the wounds, the wound healing stages and how to clinically manage each of these cases including screening for risk factors and underlying causes such as diabetes. Considerations include choice of dressings, bandages, equipment and the healing process. Non-healing ulcers are also discussed. Prevention strategies for patients at high risk of developing pressure ulcers are outlined. The final section focusses on wound care including debridement, cleansing, dressings and topical agents. Best practice recommendations are featured.

This general dermatology course focuses on identifying, diagnosing and treating four different types of drug eruptions then moves to chronic urticaria and distinguishing between erythema multiforme, Steven-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Allergic conditions and less common reactions are included. The causes, differential diagnosis and management of chronic urticaria are discussed in detail. Contributors to triggering these conditions are outlined as well as treatment options. Clinical cases provide visual learning.
