Abstract
The White Paper (1) and its implementation means that general practitioners will perform many more minor procedures. Training and retraining will be required in the manual skills necessary to handle instruments and remove such conditions as surface lesions. We describe a training aid based on porcine dermis which allows a practitioner the opportunity to acquire such skills. It may also be useful for training paramedical personnel.
