RACGP Queensland Faculty Education Committee presents: There and then surgery: simple skin procedures within the GP consultation

Presented by Dr Jim Muir, this webinar will focus on identifying dermatological conditions that require further investigations using a range of diagnostic skills. Key elements of a range of biopsies that GPs can perform (punch, shave, curette, cautery) will be covered to ensure the most important skills and procedures are available in every GP’s toolkit. At the end of this webinar, GPs will be able to review and summarise the steps in managing low-risk skin malignancies using a range of clinical procedures that have significant efficacy.
