Welcome to GP Healthcare Alliance’s Acne, from Diagnosis to Management in Primary Care course.

This course is designed for clinical staff members who will be working within General Practice in Primary Care, seeing patients and working within the UK. If you have never studied about skin care before then you might wish to take our ‘Skin Care, A Beginner’s Guide’ course, prior to starting this one.

The course will provide information regarding skin structure, assisting with gaining confidence in recognising what skin conditions a patient may have and will explore diagnoses and management. You will always adhere to your workplace protocols; gain an understanding of what you will need to do and why, maintaining professional practices throughout.
