EXPERT INSTRUCTOR

"Broad Spectrum of BCC & Keratinocyte Skin Cancer" provides an advanced understanding of diagnosing and managing basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and keratinocyte skin cancers using dermoscopy. This course is presented by Prof. Harald Kittler, a globally recognized expert in dermoscopy and digital skin analysis. It is ideal for healthcare professionals aiming to refine their diagnostic skills and broaden their knowledge of epithelial cancers.

The course delves into the diverse presentations, diagnostic strategies, and management of epithelial skin cancers, with a focus on:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC):
- Variants include nodular, superficial, pigmented, and aggressive types like sclerosing and infiltrative BCC.
- Dermoscopic clues such as arborizing vessels, radial lines, blue clods, and ulceration.
- Rare subtypes like fibroepithelioma of Pinkus and basosquamous carcinoma.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC):
- Differentiating highly and poorly differentiated SCC.
- Key markers, including keratin plugs, blood spots, and white circles.
- Progression from actinic keratosis to invasive SCC.
- Bowen’s Disease and Actinic Keratosis:
- Characteristic dermoscopic features like dots arranged in lines, scale, and coiled vessels.
- Discussion of pigmented variants and challenges in differential diagnosis.
- Other Rare Epithelial Cancers:
- Merkel-cell carcinoma and atypical fibroxanthoma, their dermoscopic patterns, and diagnostic strategies.

This course combines high-quality visuals, interactive assessments, and expert-led discussions to ensure participants gain practical, evidence-based skills for diagnosing and treating keratinocyte skin cancers.

Relevance to Nurses:

Nurses play an important role in skin cancer prevention, early detection and ongoing patient care. Developing knowledge and skills in skin assessment and melanography can support the recognition and monitoring of suspicious lesions, patient education and documentation, while contributing to collaborative care and timely management of patients with skin cancer concerns.

What your colleagues say

"I would recommend this course as an important addition to self-directed learning in dermatoscopy. It was an invaluable course to gain the diagnostic tools, knowledge and confidence in managing skin cancer. The course was professionally conducted with excellent presentations."

- L. Suntesic Nurse

"Excellent! This is a great course that has helped me diagnose many more subtle, early skin cancers especially melanoma in situ. The course was clearly presented, with good pictures and course book. All HealthCert's skin cancer courses have been hugely valuable to my practice!"

- R. Mundell Nurse

"An excellent course introduction to dermoscopy and relating what you see to the histopathology and applying this in clinical practice. Great lectures and supporting materials."

- S. Jan Nurse

"I really enjoyed the level of learning. It is very rewarding to know that I am potentially saving lives. Recently I volunteered with the Lions Cancer Institute for two days, and we screened 158 patients, detected 38 possible melanomas and 83 keratinocyte skin cancers. It was a very successful and rewarding two days, and something I could do confidently because of my learning from this course."

- K. Laverty Nurse

"I highly recommend this course. I increased my knowledge and developed confidence in using dermoscopy and in diagnosing melanoma and other skin lesions. Every skin lesion I see means so much more now that it has a name. Great involvement from various skin cancer experts and great videos and reference materials."

- P. Ishri Nurse
