The Private Dermatology Workshop

The Private Dermatology WORKSHOP

Friday 7th - Saturday 8th November, 2025 at Crowne Plaza Gerrad’s Cross, HP9 2XE

This meeting is aimed at those Dermatologists considering or currently working outside an NHS consultant post or with a minimal traditional NHS patient delivery role. Also, to those Dermatologists that choose to see NHS patients independent from a substantive and traditional hospital consultant post.

This meeting provides an opportunity to share and learn how to work differently. Topics will include pensions, accountancy, advertising, private practice prescribing and examples of and opinions from established independent private and independent NHS providers.

Working privately and/or independently as a Dermatologist does not have to mean working in isolation or not being able to collaborate with colleagues locally or nationally for support and professional development.
