Abstract
Abstract: This article is a summary of a three-stage quality improvement project aimed to raise awareness and provide basic knowledge for the early identification and appropriate referral of suspicious skin lesions. The results of this project may indicate that not enough attention is given to these lesions in undergraduate teaching, thus indicating the requirement for change. This article aims to raise awareness of the increasing prevalence of skin cancers whilst providing information of the basic signs, symptoms and clinical features for clinicians to look out for during their examination and consultation. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Dental surgeons are in a prime position to aid in the identification and referral of suspicious skin lesions due to exposure to the head and neck area on a regular basis.
