About the Dermatology Clinician of the Year award

Established in 2017, the BAD Dermatology Clinician of the Year Award celebrates and recognises a clinical dermatologist who has made a real difference in their local department by going above and beyond. Through their leadership and contributions, they may have raised the profile of dermatology, supported colleagues, or made improvements to local services.

About the Sir Archibald Gray Medal

The Sir Archibald Gray Medal is awarded annually as the British Association of Dermatologists’ highest accolade to an individual for an outstanding contribution and service to British dermatology. The Medal, named after the founder of the BAD, for his outstanding work in dermatology, was established in 1963.

Sir Archibald Gray (1880-1967) was President of the BAD in 1939, having been Secretary and long-standing Editor and Treasurer for 20 years. As well as the founder, he was described as ‘the very backbone’ of the BAD for decades and was central to establishing dermatology as a mainstream specialty in the UK in the early twentieth century.

The Sir Archibald Gray Medal comes with lifetime Honorary Membership of the BAD.
