NCCG Sub-Committee

The committee meets about three times a year at BAD House. The NCCG sub-committee is composed by a Chair, a sub-committee administrator who is a member of the BAD administrative staff, an officer of the BAD executive and 6 other members who must include three consultants and 4 NCCGs who ideally should represent the home nations.

ALL members must be members of the BAD (Click here for the information re membership of BAD). 

The term of each member is for three years so there will be regular opportunities to apply to join the sub-committee. The minutes of each meeting will be available on the website.

In January 2004 a survey was undertaken of all NCCg whose main occupation is dermatology. Gps, who undertake a few sessions in secondary care, were excluded and their interests are looked after by the Primary Care Dermatology Society.

In order to disseminate information about the committee and its work more efficiently, it would be helpful to have email addresess. If you are not getting emails then please let Dr Sue Jackson know your address on DrSueJacks@aol.com
