An invaluable guide for those entering the specialist field of dermatology, this book acts as a source of reference for those already practising within it. The book starts with an introductory section, in which many of the common symptoms of skin problems are described. The structure of normal skin will be outlined. Part 2, which is the largest section, will look at the clinical conditions, each chapter following a defined template. The closing section discusses the future of dermatology nursing, in particular the opportunities offered by nurse practitioners and liaison roles.
