This Dermatology Awareness Level 3 Training course consists of structured lectures followed by an assessment, covering essential topics related to skin health, diseases, diagnostic tools, treatments, and prevention.

The course begins with an introduction to dermatology, providing an overview of the field and its role in health and wellbeing. Learners explore the anatomy and physiology of the skin, its protective and regulatory functions, common skin types, and the biological processes associated with skin ageing. The course also introduces skin cancer awareness, including risk factors and causes, without providing diagnostic or treatment authority.

Skin conditions are explored in detail, including acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, skin infections, and common growths such as warts, moles, and skin tags. Learners gain awareness of symptoms, contributing factors, and general management principles used within dermatology.

The course then examines a range of skin diseases and disorders, including atopic and contact dermatitis, autoimmune skin conditions, viral and fungal skin diseases, pigmentary disorders, and hair and nail disorders. This section supports broader understanding of how dermatological conditions can affect different body systems and quality of life.

Diagnostic techniques and tools are introduced at an awareness level, including skin biopsy, dermoscopy, patch testing, skin scraping, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment options are explored conceptually, covering topical, oral, systemic, physical, laser, light-based therapies, surgery, and cryotherapy, without training learners to administer treatments.

The course concludes with prevention and patient education, focusing on skin disease prevention, sun protection, skincare routines, lifestyle factors, and effective patient communication. A final assessment allows learners to demonstrate their understanding of dermatology concepts and awareness principles.
