Join the Primary Care Dermatology Society (PCDS)

The PCDS provides a fun and innovative forum for all members of the Primary Care Heath Team including GPs, GPwERs, Nurses, Clinical & Community Pharmacists, Podiatrists, Physician Associates and indeed any healthcare professional with a common interest in dermatology (and skin surgery) to help improve dermatological care, exchange views and ideas, and encourage research.

Annual membership of the PCDS provides incredible value for money (£50 for GPs and £30 for other members of the Primary Care Health Team) with the following benefits:

Benefits of Membership:

  • Four skin club meetings per year
  • Facebook dermoscopy group
  • Four editions of the PCDS bulletin, which includes one of the world’s leading journal reviews
  • Case of the month
  • Mailings from PCDS & pharmaceutical sponsors
  • Monthly Snippets from PCDS HQ

Reduced delegate fees at PCDS events:

  • The three-core face to face events: Spring conference (2 days) and Where Dermatology Meets ……. conference (1 day)
  • Dermatology from Scratch
  • Essential Dermatology 1 & 2
  • Dermoscopy for Absolute Beginners
  • Dermoscopy for Intermediates
  • Skin surgery practical meetings
  • Advanced Dermoscopy courses

Simply, join the Society and save money on other courses by ticking the members only rate - the non-member rate is more than the membership fee itself!

Of course, it’s not just about value for money, improving dermatology knowledge and contributing towards annual appraisal … attendance at our face-to-face meetings provides opportunities that can’t be accessed through virtual meetings alone, such as practical hands-on dermatology, networking, opportunities for career development, making new friends and having lots of fun during our evening entertainment.
