Welcome from The ESPD President

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Welcome to the website of the European Society of Pediatric Dermatology (ESPD). If you are interested in Pediatric Dermatology and not yet a member, may I encourage you to join the society, attend the annual congresses, benefit from the monthly expert lectures, and link with pediatric dermatologists across Europe. Trainee members, in addition, have the opportunity to apply for the the ESPD training programme in pediatric dermatology, to be paired with a mentor, and to access the Future Leaders Award scheme. Allied Health Professionals working in the field of pediatric dermatology are also very welcome to join the Society.

The ESPD was founded in 1984, when pediatric dermatology was a relatively small speciality. As the specialty has grown, the ESPD has become increasingly important in guiding and supporting Pediatric Dermatology in Europe and further afield. It represents both a hub of clinical excellence, and a focus of social interaction. This combination has given rise to high quality educational events, vital exchanges of clinical expertise, important research collaborations and long-term friendships.

Membership brings the following exclusive benefits:

• Substantial reduction in registration fees for the annual ESPD congress
• Access to the European Journal of Pediatric Dermatology and to Pediatric Dermatology
• Access to the ESPD Pediatric Dermatology Training scheme with ESPD certification
• Access to the scientific portal Sci-ESPD
• Access to the Future Leaders Award scheme
• Access to the ESPD mentorship scheme
• Access to the monthly ESPD Expert lectures series
• Access to the members-only room at the annual ESPD congress

With all best wishes,

 Mary Glover
President
