Welcome to our June/July issue, although as I am writing I am wondering just how we have arrived at June already! As always, there are lots of informative and interesting features, all of which we hope will support your learning and practice, leading to enhanced patient care. The ‘Community matters’ piece focuses on the delays our patients are encountering for dermatological services. Please take some time to read this article, which will give you an oversight into why the delays exist and the potential physical and mental effects these are causing. With the summer months upon us, it is particularly relevant that skin cancer is a focus — information is given around the rising rates and possible reasons for this. The feature discusses a variety of skin conditions and offers strategies and advice to support your patients — an interesting and informative read.
