The Skin Health Education Day was first offered in 2018, since then it has become an annual event. This event is suitable for nurses, GPs and pharmacists and other healthcare providers with an AHPRA registration.
It aims to improve knowledge of all medical professionals in a range of dermatological topics. The program for this event is changed each year, with new topics and updates being offered, along with a variety of dermatologists and dermatology registrars presenting.
