The NICE guidance explains which health care professionals working in the community
The NICE guidance explains which health care professionals working in the community (at surgeries or clinics outside general hospitals) should diagnose and treat low-risk BCCs and how this service should be organised. It makes specific recommendations about:
•what information should be used to decide whether a person’s BCC is low risk
•how information on a person’s BCC should be obtained, recorded and acted on
•maintaining and checking the quality of care people receive
•providing information, advice and support for people with low-risk BCC and their families or carers.
In particular, it describes the training, education, qualifications and accreditation (official recognition and approval) that three different groups of healthcare professionals need to manage low-risk BCCs in the community. They are:
•GPs who only operate on low-risk BCCs that are easy to remove (such as those below the collar bone)
•Specialist GPs who remove an expanded range of low-risk BCCs (including some on the head and neck)
•Specialist doctors and nurses who remove both low- and high-risk BCCs.
