Description
In this, the 11th edition of Dermatology Lecture Notes, we have further updated the text, focusing on recent advances in the knowledge of skin diseases and their treatment. We have been joined once again by a doctor working at the sharp end in the University Hospitals of Leicester to help us with the chapter on emergency dermatology.
Numerous tables of salient points provide ready reference, but, as in previous editions, we have attempted to create a ‘user‐friendly’ readability.
We hope that the book will be of value not only to medical students, but also to general practitioners and nurses involved in the care of dermatology patients. We also hope that exposure to Dermatology Lecture Notes will stimulate a deeper interest in this important medical specialty.
