MSc Skin Lesion Management
This programme has been developed to meet the specific needs of practitioners diagnosing and managing patients with benign and malignant skin lesions. This is a unique programme that benefits from shared, inter-professional learning and incorporates a range of taught postgraduate modules supported by workplace-based learning.
This programme is suitable for you work regularly with patients with skin lesions or particularly skin cancer and you are wanting to undertake further specialist training to develop your career in this clinical area. This postgraduate course offers a structured educational programme in skin lesion management but does not focus on cosmetic dermatology and would not usually be suitable for solely aesthetic practitioners who are not working in UK NHS clinical practice.
The programme is offered in full time (12 - 14 months) and part time modes (2-5 years) and leads to the award of MSc Skin Lesion Management, Postgraduate Diploma Skin Lesion Management or Postgraduate Certificate Skin Lesion Management.
