>> Welcome

The British Association of Dermatologists is the central and long-established association of practising UK dermatologists, and our aim is to continually improve the treatment and understanding of skin disease.

Learn more about what makes dermatologists the experts in skin disease and how to access their services here

The BAD has several clearly defined objectives:

• Promote high quality care for patients with skin disease by setting and monitoring standards of service delivery.

• Promote the best training and education of all personnel involved in delivery of dermatological care.

• Promote all aspects of dermatology research to improve the understanding, diagnosis and management of skin disease.

• Support members and represent the views of the membership to local, national and international bodies.

• Raise awareness of all facets of skin health and disease to the public, influential bodies and the Government.

Our vision is "healthy skin for all"

On this site we provide information sheets about skin diseases, written and approved by our dermatologists, as well as general information about the skin, dermatology in the UK, and current issues in skin disease.

Please Note: This website is not able to respond to enquiries from individuals about their skin complaints.
