We run multiple events throughout the year for various healthcare professionals. Our events and courses take various formats from large group lecture programmes to small hands-on workshops.
​
Instead of generic courses aimed at increasingly diverse groups of health professionals, we provide events that are specific to the needs of different healthcare professional groups. Our St John’s DermAcademy faculty includes dermatology consultants and trainees, nurse specialists, allergists, GP leads and international advisors to allow us to tailor our courses based on individual audience needs.
​
Healthcare professionals can attend our events to keep up to date about best clinical practice in dermatology and get clinical tips and advice from key speakers. Delegates have also found our events to be a great networking platform to meet new colleagues and our St John’s DermAcademy faculty.

Testimonials
Dermoscopy Course
“I have done a couple of different online courses recently, and this was by far the best …the live quiz sessions were also really engaging and made me feel more like I was part of a bigger course/audience. Overall this was an interesting and educational course and I feel like I learned a lot.”
“Good selection of topics, highly expert speakers, interactive elements to keep engagement high.”
“Great talk on volar dermoscopy, with illuminating explanations regarding anatomy and correlation to clinical findings.”
​
“Lectures were very good and appreciated quizzes to consolidate learning.”

​​​Skin Biopsy:
“Excellent course and would recommend to all interested. The Gordon Museum was a superb location for the training. I very much enjoyed the presentation about Anatomy and Physiology – It was extremely useful and very well presented. The day 2 Practical was excellent - many new skills learnt and speed of learning was perfect.”

​
“Everything was a highlight from the wonderful location to the insightful learning and practical experience.”

Skin Cancer Masterclass:
​“The group discussions on scenarios were perfect to keep us engaged at the end of the day. The Oncology segment was a great whistle-stop tour of what is available to offer patients once they are eligible for Oncology input. The segment on syndromes was interesting and it was great to learn about how we can refer patients if eligible or if we need further advice.”
​
“Each speaker brought something different and it was very informative. Excellent information provided.”
​

“I enjoyed everything!”
​
Allergy And The Skin Course:
​“There was an amazing variety of topics covered, and I learned quite a lot.”
