Learning outcomes for this Evening Medical Update include:

  • Recognise when a skin lesion may require further assessment and use simple, structured language to describe skin lesions accurately.
  • Recognise that skin changes can be associated with rheumatological conditions.  
  • Identify common presentations of skin infections and describe a simple approach to assessing and managing them. 

The Evening Medical Updates programme: Covers specialities, presentations and conditions included within the Internal Medicine Training (IMT) curriculum. Within these, we aim to cover topics from a range of clinical settings including the acute medical take, outpatients department, community care and critical care. 

Topics are covered in monthly updates between September and June of each academic year, and each session consists of three 30-minute presentations.

Target audience: Although aimed primarily at medical trainees, Evening Medical Updates are open to all hospital doctors, GPs, other healthcare professionals, and medical students.

Delegates are able to submit questions via Slido and we will cover as many questions as possible during the live session.

Attendance options:

  • Online from home, with on-demand access, or
  • In-person from a participating live-link site (see live-link tab for a site close to you).

Registering to view online from home also allows you to catch-up at your convenience on-demand for up to 28 days following the original broadcast.
