2026 Sydney GP Dermoscopy Workshop: Melanoma in Focus

Join us in Wollstonecraft for the Sydney GP Dermoscopy Workshop. Due to high demand, we are offering this introductory workshop for General Practitioners who are new to dermoscopy.

Participants will build confidence by gaining foundational knowledge and practical skills in identifying structures and distinguishing skin lesions, including melanoma, through the “Chaos and clues” algorithm, as well as identifying common benign entities. Our program will also integrate essential aspects of dermatopathology and an overview of confocal imaging and its role in the diagnostic and referral pathway for complex lesions.

Join us to develop your dermoscopy skills, increase your confidence in skin lesion assessment, and enhance your ability to detect and monitor melanoma in clinical practice.

Please note: This workshop is designed for General Practitioners and provides a foundational introduction to dermoscopy. Due to popular demand, it is a repeat of the session held on 1 November 2025.
