Dermoscopy use in primary care: a qualitative study with general practitioners.

Both GPs who use dermoscopy, and those who do not, consider it to have an important role in improving skin assessments within primary care. However the need for adequate training in dermoscopy and dermatology more generally was highlighted as a key barrier to its wider use. The development of competency standards for the use of dermoscopy could allow the adequacy of training to be assessed and developed.
