2025-01-22 - 2025-01-24
SOCTUK’s aim is to ensure that no one’s dermatological care is unnecessarily delayed due to a lack of experience with managing black and brown skin. Since 2021, they have had yearly conferences with guest speakers from all over the world teaching Dermatologists, GPs, nurses, trainees and medical students how best to recognise and treat skin conditions that might look slightly different depending on the colour of one’s skin.
Lately, professionals outside of healthcare, such as hairdressers and aestheticians and the public are keen to in increase their own awareness of skin conditions in darker skin types. Thus, SOCTUK has organised a ½ day pre-meeting on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 to do exactly that. The theme of the event is ‘Getting it right the first time’. This exciting meeting, which focuses on hair and aesthetic concerns, is one of the few of its kind worldwide.
The SOCTUK 2025 pre-meeting is sponsored by Eucerin’s Social Mission programme aimed at reducing health inequalities in the UK and beyond. They are also partnering with the British Skin Foundation to ensure that they reach the right audience – you!
