PPDN Annual Meeting

High-level, focused gatherings deep-diving into niche dermatological sub-specialities and breakthrough research.

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.

After the very popular inaugural meeting in 2025 feedback on topics and meeting structure have helped design an engaging and interactive agenda for 2026.

This year the meeting will split delegates into seasoned practitioners concentrating on professional development and wealth management; and fresh starters wanting to evaluate the landscape and needing a toolkit to start and grow their business.

For both groups there will be a joint session on AI in private practice and a workshop on how to build or re-fresh your online profile.
 
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.
