Online Dermoscopy Education

Photo from Jan Antonin Kolar
New sessions from Thurs 12 Jan - Thurs 9 March, 2023

Do you need to brush up on your knowledge and management of skin lesions? Does your practice have a dermatoscope, but you haven’t had the training to use it?

This training will be delivered again by Dr. Chin Whybrew, an experienced GP with a passion for primary care dermatology (and dermoscopy in particular).

These sessions are FREE to attend and open to any primary care clinician who assesses skin lesions in the following areas:

  • Somerset
  • Wiltshire
  • Avon
  • Gloucestershire

If you have not attended this training before, please attend the sessions in sequence, as they do build on one another.

For more information, please expand the boxes below.

Online Dermoscopy for Beginners Part 1

This half-day, virtual session will be delivered via Zoom and cover the following:

  • How dermoscopy works and practical tips, including how to get good dermoscopy photos and troubleshooting tips
  • A practical demonstration of the commonly-used scopes, including how to turn it on, focus it, charge it, clean it, etc.
  • Interpretation of dermoscopic structures in benign lesions (seb K, angiomas, warts, dermatofibromas, sebaceous hyperplasia, comedones), BCCs, and melanomas — and how this always needs to be taken in clinical context
  • How to put this all together into a simple algorithm
  • Other uses of dermoscopy in primary care

This session is next available on Thursday 12 October, from 01.30PM05.00PM.

Online Dermoscopy for Beginners Part 2

This is a follow-up session from Part 1, and we recommend you get used to handling the scope for several weeks in between sessions. It will cover:

  • Recap of how to use the scope, benign lesions, and BCCs
  • Actinic keratosis, Bowen’s, and SCC
  • Special sites – palms, soles, and faces
  • More about naevi and melanomas
  • More BCCs including pigmented and superficial BCCs

This session will next be available on Thursday 9 November, from 01.30PM05.00PM.

Online Dermoscopy for Not-So-Beginners Part 3

This is aimed at people who are reasonably confident using a dermatoscope and have done the first two parts of the three-part course. We recommend practising with the scope in between the first two parts and this one. It will cover:

  • Troubleshooting tips, and photography techniques
  • Recap of commonly-seen lesions in primary care
  • The “chaos and clues” algorithm for pigmented lesions
  • “Prediction without pigment” for non-pigmented lesions

This session will be next be available on Thursday 14 December, from 01.30PM05.00PM.
