The Royal College of General Practitioners is calling for all GPs who carry out practice-based dermatological surgery to record and upload their figures as part of a UK-wide information gathering project

The ground-breaking audit will establish for the first time how many GPs are carrying out dermatological surgery, including the removal of skin cancers, pre-cancerous skin lesions, benign skin cysts, lipoma, and excision of ‘small lumps and bumps’.

The Community- Based Surgery Audit (CBSA) national pilot is now open and detailed figures will be available for assessment by March 2015. The CBSA is a unique initiative from the RCGP in partnership with the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) – and will provide the first ever ‘snapshot’ of dermatological treatment responses in general practice across the UK.
