The meetings enable dermatologist to share practical tips on managing patients and learn about break through treatments and research.

SCE: Dermatology Registrars' Meeting

Dr. Anthony Downs & Dr. Christopher Bower also co-hosted the SCE Dermatology Registrars Meeting as a live webinar conference in August. The event was sponsored by Jansen-Cilag and badged by the British Association of Dermatologists.

A lot of organisation and technical planning went into hosting this on-line webinar, driven by the current pandemic circumstance, but the meeting was well attended and went smoothly.

The meeting helps dermatology trainees pass their exam on the way to becoming dermatology consultants.

Dr. Downs & Dr. Bower have run this revision course for 10 years and it is extremely well regarded quality event and always over-subscribed.

Running these type of events, both on location and/or online, ensure our dermatologist keep up-to-date and one step ahead of the Royal College of Physicians who set the challenging and difficult exam each year.

For the last 8 yrs Dr. Anthony Downs & Dr. Chris Bower, Consultant Dermatologists have run an annual Dermatology Registrar Revision Course to help new medical students pass their "Exit" exam.

Dr. Tony Downs and Dr. Chris Bower organised and hosted their 10th annual national dermatology registrar training course in Birmingham on Sunday 9th June 2019.

The course is registered with the British Association of Dermatologist and is classed as a course of excellence for attending students.

We help the dermatology consultants of the future get through a key knowledge step in their training. Future UK dermatology consultants are required to pass a theory exam in dermatology during their specialist training in Dermatology.

“We feel privileged to be able to pass on our expertise and experience to doctors that will be our consultant colleagues in the near future”
