Volume 7: Issue 3 | July - September 2024

Welcome to the autumn edition of the Consulting Room magazine. 

This issue is focussed on skin conditions. 

According to The British Skin Foundation, 60% of people in the UK currently have a skin condition or have previously had a skin condition.

As well as the aesthetic impact that conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema and rosacea can have on people, there is also a psychological impact, so we are kicking off our skin conditions special with specialist psychiatric nurse Nicola Noel writing about this (p18-19). We then hear about the patient experience from journalist Georgia Seago (p20-21), who shares her personal journey with psoriasis. 

Next up, Dr Ginni Mannsberg explores hormonal acne in women and girls (p28-30), and Julie Scott shares her strategies for rosacea (p22-24). 

As well as this we have Dr Arturo Almeida discussing complications management (p36-38) and Piroska Cavell giving her views on the latest fad for weight loss injections (p40-41). 

Our CPD article this month delves into a holistic 360-degree approach with Tracey Dennison (p58-61), and 11 years after winning The Apprentice; we chat with Dr Leah Totton (p68-69). 

So why not put your feet up with a cup of tea and have a read, that’s what Autumn days are all about.
