This is for you - all healthcare professionals

The PCDS provides dermatology education for all healthcare professionals. The colours highlighted below are to help guide you as to which of our educational programs best suits your leaning needs. Some of our educational material crosses our defined educational boundaries and as such appear in two colours. The same colour codes are also used in our PCDS Annual Conference and Scottish Conference to highlight the level of learning in any given workstream.
