British Teledermatology Society

How is the BTS run?


Chairman Dr Saul Halpern  
Treasurer Dr Carolyn Charman  
Meetings The BTS holds an annual meeting in the Spring in London. A smaller meeting is held each year at the annual meeting of the British Association of Dermatologists. There are opportunities to organise educational and committee sessions at other times within the year.
Function The BTS aims to provide a forum for the discussion and development of teledermatology within the UK. It is also able to provide a source of professional opinion concerning aspects of teledermatology to other medical and non-medical bodies. Members are mainly practising dermatology in secondary or primary care, covering a range of approaches to the medium.
We aim to

· Describe teledermatology within the UK

· Offer advice to professionals exploring teledermatology

· Provide educational opportunities for those practising teledermatology

· Share national experiences and developments in teledermatology
Membership Membership is open to registered Medical Practitioners, Health Professionals and Scientists who are elected by the committee, following signed nomination by a member of the society.
