• To be aware of the different presentations of such lesions and the need to be vigilant and to maintain a high index of suspicion.

Objectives

• A better understanding of the conditions that Hygienists are uniquely placed to recognise early and flag up at the earliest possible stage.
• A clear understanding of the less obvious lesions that may present, especially skin cancer.
