Want to learn at your own pace and on your own schedule? Why not try an NB Medical pre-recorded course?
With a pre-recorded NB course, you can work your way through a course at your own leisure and at your own speed. We offer 3 and 6 hour courses, broken down into topics, available 24 hours a day to suit your own schedule.
With dermatology appearing in up to 25% of our general practice consultations, many skin conditions being managed exclusively in primary care, and for patients who require a referral they are facing increasingly longer waiting times, now is a great time to update and refresh our dermatology knowledge. The aim of this webinar is to increase your diagnostic skills, confidence and management of the common dermatology conditions we see in primary care.
