How many GP referrals to dermatology outpatients are really necessary?

MJ Sladden and RA Graham-Brown
Department of Dermatology, Leicester Royal Infirmary.

In a survey of patients referred to the dermatology outpatients department of a British teaching hospital, 26% of referrals were considered unnecessary by a senior house officer with three months practical dermatological experience. We conclude that better undergraduate and postgraduate education in dermatology is essential. A period spent in dermatology should be included in all vocational training schemes for general practice.
