Attendees may opt into either session or attend both.

Session 1: Dermatology 2027 and the Future
As rapid developments in genetics, diagnostics, targeted therapies and artificial intelligence transform clinical practice, clinicians must also navigate emerging issues including the safe use of AI and the growing impact of health misinformation. This mini symposium brings together leading experts - Professor Rubeta Matin, Dr Sarah Walsh, Professor John Ingram, Dr Ben Esdaile and Dr Ed Seaton - to provide practical, up- to- date guidance on the advances and challenges shaping dermatology today and in the future.

Learning Outcomes:

Apply current evidence and guideline recommendations to the diagnosis and management of hidradenitis suppurativa and severe cutaneous drug reactions, including toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)
Describe recent advances in dermoscopy, including the role of UV dermoscopy and practical techniques to enhance clinical assessment
Recognise health misinformation in dermatology and implement evidence- based strategies to address it effectively in clinical practice
Evaluate the current evidence for the use of artificial intelligence in dermatology and its safe, appropriate integration into patient care.

Session 2: Dermatology clinical cases
A series of cases covering rare, unusual and atypical dermatological presentations, with audience voting and discussion following each case.

Learning Outcomes:
By attending Session 2, participants will be able to:
