British Association of Dermatologists

About British Association of Dermatologists

We are the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD), the professional membership body for dermatologists in the UK. The BAD is a registered charity representing over 2,400 members, dedicated to medical education, professional practice and standards, and research. Established in 1920, it is a registered charity with an incorporated body of trustees, the Executive Committee, who are all dermatologists elected by the membership. The Officers, supported by the professional staff carry out the day to day business from Willan House, the headquarters building in central London. The BAD has clear objectives which are set out in the Constitution and are taken forward by the business units and sub-committees. The BAD works with many other organisations to achieve its aims of supporting patients and improving standards. These include Patient Support Groups, Special Interest Groups, International Dermatology Groups and the Medical Royal Colleges.
