Dermatology Patient Pathways

The Dermatology Patient Pathways provide an accessible resource intended to support Primary Care practitioners in Scotland in the diagnosis and management of patients presenting with common skin conditions. A brief illustrated description of each skin condition is followed by treatment recommendations and links to sources of additional information for both doctor and patient. Criteria for referral to Dermatology are included, highlighting red-flag presentations that merit expedited referral, or identifying certain treatments can only be initiated in Secondary Care.
