Background: Patients with mental health conditions represent a significant concern in emergency departments, consistently ranking as the third or fourth most prevalent diagnoses during consultations.

However, the implications of these nonurgent visits for mental health patients remain unclear, and warrant further investigation.

Introduction: Relational continuity of care (RCC) refers to the sustained therapeutic relationship between a patient and a clinician, which fosters trust, enhances communication and facilitates the accumulation of knowledge about the patient. RCC is associated with enhanced patient outcomes, reduced hospital admissions, lower mortality rates, decreased healthcare costs and improved patient experience. Despite these benefits, reorganisations within the NHS and workforce challenges have led to an increased reliance on multidisciplinary and part-time working, resulting in fragmented care and a decline in RCC.

Background: The increasing prevalence of dermatological diseases will pose a growing challenge to the health care system and, in particular, to general practitioners (GPs) as the first point of contact for these patients. In many countries, primary care physicians are supported by teledermatology services.
Objective: The aim of this study was to detect learning effects and gains among GPs through teledermatology consultations (TCs) in daily practice.
