On Thursday 11 September at 13:00, Anne Sofie Frølunde defends her PhD dissertation entitled "Dermatology in general practice in Western Denmark: Management, referral patterns, and early disease indicators".
The project shows that general practitioners find itch and childhood eczema particularly challenging, and many general practitioners seek additional dermatology training on their own initiative. An analysis of referrals to a hospital-based eczema clinic revealed that referral reasons differed depending on whether the patient came from a general practitioner or a dermatologist. This suggests a need for clearer referral guidelines and improved collaboration across sectors. Finally, the project explored whether fungal infections of the feet and nails could serve as early indicators of type 2 diabetes (unpublished results).
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Auditorium C114-101, entrance C, C110, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
