Join this webinar seeking to provide trainees and other non-expert learners with an enhanced understanding and interest in skin ageing and the different skin pathologies that affect patients across their lifetimes.

This unique meeting explores diversity from a new and interesting perspective and highlights important and relevant subject areas, particularly given the ageing population in the UK.

Participants will be able to:

  • Develop an awareness of skin ageing and the implications for health
  • Develop an awareness of diversity in dermatology from the perspective of different age groups as well as the different challenges and barriers faced

This webinar is available for on-demand viewing. The webinar recording will be available for registered delegates up to 60 days after the live webinar broadcast via Zoom.
