This book is designed to help develop a GPs skill in disease
recognition and treatment. For this reason it approaches the
subject from a symptoms-specific rather than a disease-specific
angle.
It contains approximately 60 high-quality illustrations and
explanatory text. It is ideal for use as an instant reference in
day-to-day clinical practice or as part of ongoing CME. It would be
ideally suited for those studying for the Diploma in Practical
Dermatology

Pre-publication review quotes
"I particularly like the idea of a symptom orientated approach.
This is exactly how patients present"
J Buchan
"...a book written for GPs by a GP is more likely to be relevant
and interesting to its proposed readers than a similar book written
by a consultant with no experience of the realities of general
practice."
P Bradbury
"Dermatology is a look and feel speciality. Whilst the feel element
cannot be mimicked, good quality photographs should be included as
a pre-requisite."
