Statements and Submissions

These documents are aimed at a policy audience and may be focussed on specific issues and/or linked to specific events. We use statements and submissions to help shape outcomes of a particular meeting or strategy and to urge policy makers to take specific action.

Our purpose in making statements is to influence the development and implementation of effective policies that promote skin health and reflect the needs of both health professionals delivering dermatological care and their patients.
