Essential Acute Dermatology for General Physicians and GPs
Monday 18 June 2007
Venue: The Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 0AE
The aim of this meeting is to discuss the diagnosis and management of acute dermatological problems at the primary-secondary care interface.
The emphasis will be on conditions that may initially present from general practice to acute medical receiving units, and the main focus will be the requirement for referral, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and the early management and investigation. Some new drugs in skin disease will also be discussed, especially where these may have side effects that are relevant to physicians outside dermatology.
