Derm School 2026
13 October 2026 Registration is now open for Derm School, taking place on 13 October 2026, and we warmly invite you to join us.
Derm School is designed for all healthcare professionals with an interest in dermatology, offering a practical and engaging opportunity to enhance your knowledge, build confidence in managing dermatological conditions, and stay up to date with current best practice.
This year’s programme will feature expert-led sessions covering:
-
Wellbeing – an initial session to kick off the day and an additional session at the end of the programme
-
Emollients – In this session, we will aim to cover how emollients work, the different types and how to get the best out of emollient use
-
Clinical assessment – In these mini workshops, we will aim to cover some of the basics, tips and tricks to undertaking a clinical assessment
-
Habit reversal – In these sessions, we aim to cover the basics of habit reversal for symptoms like itch, repetitive body behaviours like hair pulling or skin picking and other issues
- Skin investigations – In this session, we aim to cover the how, when and why skin investigations (for example skin swabs and scrapes) might be taken
- Fire risk – In this session, we aim to cover the importance of assessing for fire risk and the potential dangers that fire might pose both patients and staff
Whether you are looking to refresh your dermatology knowledge, learn practical clinical tips, or hear from experienced specialists, Derm School will provide valuable insights you can apply directly in your practice.
Places are limited, so we encourage you to register early to secure your place.
