I would highly recommend this course to anyone with even the remotest interest in lesion recognition. It was highly informative and expertly delivered. It provided me with a new dimension to my clinical practice. I will use the skills learnt in the course on a daily basis working as a GP. If I had to single out one course presenter as worthy of special praise it would be Aimilios Lallas. He is simply inspiring!
Thank you for organising such a fantastic dermatology course. I did my DPD in Wales over 10 years ago and was dubious as to whether it was worthwhile doing it. I also work primarily in skin cancer medicine rather than general practice these days and felt that I would be going over "old ground". I was so mistaken! I felt the content and lecturers were fantastic and I would highly recommend the course to any primary care GP or skin cancer doctor.
Fantastic course! I am now very confident in using dermoscopy in my clinical practice and use this skill in every full skin examination. The course featured expert presenters, thorough teaching in dermoscopy, and flexible online learning.
This is a really well run and informative course. Well worth the time and money. The lecturers are outstanding and the content of the course is totally relevant and useful. A big thank you to all involved in providing the course - very much appreciated!
