Hot Topics Dermoscopy Clinic

7th November 2023
8:00 PM

Pre-Recorded Free

Dermoscopy not only improves the recognition of melanoma skin cancer, but it also reduces the need for unnecessary referrals, biopsies and even excisions of benign skin lesions.

Inflammatory bowel disease affects 1 in 300 but GI symptoms are only part of the condition. Extra-intestinal manifestations occur in up to half of people with IBD. They are many and varied - in some cases, it may be the first sign of IBD, others may occur in people years after diagnosis even when their GI symptoms are well controlled. What do we need to look out for in general practice and how can we help our patients if they occur?
