Power of Patient-led Research —presented by International Alliance of Dermatology Patient Organizations CEO, Christine Janus on November 20, 2018.

Community Building - RareDERM

Learn about our new community building initiative for rare/uncommon and neglected dermatological diseases. Learn more, visit our website. 

As part of this important work, we are pleased to present results from our recent disease experience survey of nearly 1,500 Lichen Sclerosus (LS) patients.

More Inclusive Associate Membership

A great deal of skin patient support takes place online within discussion groups and fora (including Facebook, Yahoo, etc.). At GlobalSkin’s Board of Directors meeting in November, it was formally decided to welcome these groups as non-voting Associate Members. Our membership criteria have therefore been adjusted on our website to reflect this added inclusiveness. Be sure to share this news in your country and disease area as we continue to grow our GlobalSkin movement.
