Overview
Since its launch in September 2023, the Australasian Dermatology Registry has successfully recruited over 1,200 participants from public and private sites across Australia.
Join us for an information night hosted by A/Prof Gayle Ross, Chair of the Atopic Dermatitis Scientific Advisory Committee, and Dr Helen Saunders, Chair of the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Scientific Advisory Committee.
We will also explore the benefits for dermatologists who participate, including the opportunity to earn CPD points, real-time individual patient, clinic-level, and aggregate registry reports, and access to de-identified data for research projects.
