He obtained his basic medical degree from the National University of Ireland (Dublin) in 1982.

Rezensionen

"All GPs, general practice nurses and other healthcare professionals ... would benefit from having a copy of this book on their shelf. ... I have read my fair share of dermatology textbooks and this is the best; most comprehensive, practical and GP-focused guide I have come across. Thank you Dr Buckley and Dr Pasquali for sharing your wealth of experience and information. The GPs and GPNs who read it, and their dermatology patients, will be all the better for it." (Karen Enright, Dermatology, Vol. 8 (3), 2022)
"It is a true Magnum Opus - the distillation of a lifetime experience in Dermatology and is written in a gentle, almost conversational style. The detail is pitched right, with little padding and a clear understanding of what can be offered in Primary Care settings. ... David needs to be congratulated on the huge amount of work that has gone into this tome. ... this is a worthy book and a welcome addition to our bookshelves." (PCDS Bulletin, March, 2022)
