Dermoscopy is a tool for skin visualization that is routinely used for melanoma diagnosis in secondary care. However, the role of dermoscopy in primary care remains unclear.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>To determine views on, and use of, dermoscopy by dermatology\u2010interested general practitioners (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GP<\/jats:styled-content>s).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>An online questionnaire was emailed to the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">UK<\/jats:styled-content> Primary Care Dermatology Society members in February 2018, and responses collected over the following 4 weeks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 205 responses were analysed. Most respondents were <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GP<\/jats:styled-content>s (94%), aged over 50 (53%), had a postgraduate dermatological qualification (67%) and used dermoscopy regularly when reviewing pigmented skin lesions (97%). Dermoscopy use was commoner amongst <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GP<\/jats:styled-content>s who had worked longer in primary care and had experience of secondary care dermatology. Most had undertaken training in dermoscopy (91%), although one\u2010fifth (20%) had not updated their training in over 5 years. Most of those who had received only 1 day of face\u2010to\u2010face training reported feeling confident using a dermatoscope.
