In the charity's own words
The Primary Care Dermatology Society was formed after recognising the need for a forum where GPs could exchange views on primary care dermatology, develop their skills and progress clinical research in this developing field of medicine. The Society now includes all healthcare professionals providing primary healthcare services in dermatology.
