  • Update you on which lesions are suitable for cryosurgery in primary care
  • Offer guidance on equipment, cryogens and techniques
  • Provide a list of skin lesions and their suitablity for cryosurgery

At the beginning of each case you will be asked to study a picture of the lesion plus a brief case history and then be asked a question about the case.

At the end of the module your knowledge will be tested using a 10 question assessment which will be scored.
