PCDS is the leading UK Society for all members of the primary healthcare team with an enthusiasm for dermatology, dernoscopy and skin sugery. With up to 30% of GP consultations having some element of skin in them most GPs and other Primary Care Health Professionals have limited training opportunities in Dermatology. This workload continues to increase as ongoing changes in funding and the NHS structure move more patient care into the community. Thus, in collaboration with the Consultant Dermatologist, members of the primary healthcare team will be increasingly involved in the disease management of chronic skin conditions.
