DERMATOLOGY

PgC Programme

The emphasis of this programme is very much on the approach to different conditions – practical examination techniques,
application of appropriate diagnostic procedures and an understanding of the potential complications associated with
different body systems.

Attend paired modules to advance your knowledge and skills in a specific area, or take the full programme and
successfully pass all ISVPS assessments to gain a General Practitioner Certificate (GPCert) and then progress towards
a Postgraduate Certificate (PgC) qualification by taking the Advanced Practitioner Module delivered by HAU.

A dedicated Programme Tutor will support you throughout your PgC programme to ensure a rewarding and successful
learning journey.
