Skin conditions in general practice

The RACGP reports that skin conditions comprise 17% of all problems encountered in general practice.

As a result, GPs need a wide range of expertise in skin complaints, including:

  • Preventive care
  • Diagnosis and management of acute and chronic skin and hair conditions
  • Referral and collaborative care.

As specialists in this area of medicine, dermatologists are ideally placed to help GPs gain confidence and skills in supporting patients.
