Objectives

To identify researchers with past, current or future interest in conducting primary care based dermatology research. To provide networking opportunities for primary care based researchers, and for/with researchers based in specialist settings, with an interest in improving the primary care dermatology evidence base. To provide an informal forum for the generation of ideas and discussion of research proposals – either through face-to-face meetings (such as “fringe” events at the Annual Scientific Meeting) or on-line discussion groups through a managed membership list. To encourage collaboration and successful application by members across different departments for funding of primary care based dermatology research.
