Aged Care: Assessing Skin Conditions

Assessing Skin Conditions" provides an overview of the techniques and knowledge required to carry out an accurate assessment of a patient with a new or ongoing skin condition. The program begins with an overview of the structure and function of human skin, then continues with useful explanations of the terminology students need to recognise and describe common skin conditions. With expert commentary from a dermatologist it guides learners through the steps of assessing patients in a precise and compassionate way. Emphasis is given to ageing skin, patient communication and care.
