Textbook of Primary Care Dermatology cover

This textbook provides a comprehensive, practical guide to the identification of a range of common dermatological conditions encountered within primary care. It features a problem-based approach to the topics and conditions covered. Clinical photographs, diagrams and pertinent tables along with clear learning objectives, clinical pearls and pitfalls in each chapter facilitate understanding in the diagnosis and management of a range of common dermatological conditions.


Textbook of Primary Care Dermatology empowers the reader to develop their understanding of how to deal with a range of common skin, hair and nail problems. It is ideal for training and practising primary care physicians seeking a quick reference guide to use in their clinical practice and the trainee dermatologist seeking a primer on the topic. It is also suitable for other members of the primary care team including nurses, pharmacists, physician associates and clinical assistants, and it is very useful for hospital-based doctors and nurses in other disciplines who want a quick, practical reference to common dermatological problems.


“All GPs, general practice nurses and other healthcare professionals … would benefit from having a copy of this book on their shelf. … I have read my fair share of dermatology textbooks and this is the best; most comprehensive, practical and GP-focused guide I have come across. Thank you Dr Buckley and Dr Pasquali for sharing your wealth of experience and information. The GPs and GPNs who read it, and their dermatology patients, will be all the better for it.” (Karen Enright, Dermatology, Vol. 8 (3), 2022)
“It is a true Magnum Opus – the distillation of a lifetime experience in Dermatology and is written in a gentle, almost conversational style. The detail is pitched right, with little padding and a clear understanding of what can be offered in Primary Care settings. … David needs to be congratulated on the huge amount of work that has gone into this tome. … this is a worthy book and a welcome addition to our bookshelves.” (PCDS Bulletin, March, 2022)
