There are fewer than 1,500 consultant dermatologists in the UK, even though 25 per cent of GP consultations are skin related, but why are qualified skincare professionals so hard to find? The Skincare & Dermatology special report, published in The Times, explores how a lack of training and general understanding is leading to a dermatological skills shortage and looks at what it really means to be a dermatologist. It covers how new technology is bringing exciting opportunities for diagnosis and treatment, how teledermatology is easing the burden on the NHS, and how rethinking cleanliness could be key to overall skin health.
