I have personally just removed the smallest melanoma I have seen in 36 years of being a GP! It was less than 2mm diameter in a 27-year-old that I spotted a couple of weeks ago. Certainly, makes a strong case for GPs to have post grad training in Dermoscopy that the ACD is doing to help and support. This is a worthy course that the ACD is encouraged to continue and expand.
