CPPE: New E-learning course available to support Pharmacy First

Do you need support in recognising and treating common skin conditions, such as infected insect bites, impetigo and shingles? CPPE’s new Dermatology e-learning programme is design to help you to gain confidence in recognising common skin conditions:

• describe and recognise the typical signs and symptoms of common skin conditions 
• recognise some of the red flag symptoms associated with common skin conditions and make appropriate recommendations for referral
• discuss current treatment options for common skin conditions
• create your own toolkit of resources and self-care measures to share with people to help them to self-manage their skin condition
• demonstrate effective shared decision making and person-centred care during a dermatological consultation.
