Abstract: Skin problems are common, affecting up to one-third of the population during their lifetime, and they are frequently encountered by advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) in both primary and secondary care settings. Despite the prevalence of dermatological presentations, ACPs often feel unprepared to conduct a thorough dermatological history and examination. This article aims to provide guidance to trainees and qualified ACPs, whether in acute hospital settings or primary care, to perform dermatological assessments and examinations systematically. This is the first article in a two-part series on dermatological assessment.
