The GP Guidebook to key topical agents and adjunctive emollients for skin health.

In this webinar and Q&A (delivered in partnership with CeraVe), Dr Dianne King explores key topical therapies for the dermatological conditions you commonly encounter in your primary care practice.

Topical therapies are the foundation of dermatological management in general practice, yet navigating the wide range of available treatments can be complex. Understanding when, why, and how to use these agents effectively is essential for achieving optimal patient outcomes.

In the full webinar recording below, Dr Dianne King (a GP with a special interest in dermatology) explores the key dermatological conditions commonly seen in general practice, including eczema, irritant and contact dermatitis, rosacea, and xerosis — with a strong focus on how to guide patients in selecting the right emollient for effective management.

Practical strategies for prescribing topical agents, selecting anti-inflammatory treatments, and incorporating adjunctive emollients to support skin health form the basis of this "hot topic" presentation aimed at providing a practical guide for primary care doctors who are the first line of defence against skin-related conditions. 

This webinar covers:

  • A clear, practical framework for choosing the right topical agents
  • Strategies to optimise patient adherence and improve clinical outcomes
  • Insights into the role of adjunctive emollients in managing chronic skin conditions
  • Case studies to reinforce real-world application

Watch the webinar to help refine your dermatology knowledge with practical, evidence-based guidance that you can immediately apply in your practice!
