British Association of Dermatologists The BAD is the professional membership body for dermatologists in the UK & a registered charity.

We are the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD), the professional membership body for dermatologists in the UK. The BAD is a registered charity representing over 2,400 members, dedicated to medical education, professional practice and standards, and research. Established in 1920, it is a registered charity with an incorporated body of trustees, the Executive Committee, who are all dermatologists elected by the membership. The Officers, supported by the professional staff carry out the day to day business from Willan House, the headquarters building in central London. The BAD has clear objectives which are set out in the Constitution and are taken forward by the business units and sub-committees. The BAD works with many other organisations to achieve its aims of supporting patients and improving standards. These include Patient Support Groups, Special Interest Groups, International Dermatology Groups and the Medical Royal Colleges.

August 18 is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Awareness Day.

Earlier today, we shared a snippet from an interview with Marian, our inspirational Patient Voices story.

Swipe through the slides to find out more about this complex skin condition, including what are the early symptoms, what it looks like, and how it gets diagnosed.

18/08/2025

📢 The BCD Education Hub has launched the Patient Voices project. This is a dedicated space on the Hub to hear patient stories and their lived experiences of different skin conditions.

On -JohnsonSyndromeAwarenessDay, we are sharing a highlight of our chat with Marian, where she brought up the importance of getting more people to share their experiences, in order to break stereotypes.

She is a survivor of Steven Johnson Syndrome, which she developed in 2011. Marian is an advocate for the condition and shares her story with us, including her symptoms, recovery, and what can be done for better awareness and representation to help improve people’s understanding of SJS/TENs.

You can watch the full-length interview with Marian on the BCD Education Hub, or using the short link: bit.ly/BCDPatientVoices
