Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

Where Dermatology Meets Metabolic Disease is a one-day PCDS meeting for GPs, GPwERs and the wider primary healthcare team who manage dermatological disease alongside obesity, diabetes and cardiometabolic risk. The visible programme runs from registration at 08:30 to close at 17:00, with sessions on insulin resistance and the metabolic skin, hidradenitis suppurativa diagnosis and patient impact, psoriasis assessment, GLP-1 agonists in severe skin disease, obesity management in primary care, flexural dermatology and type 2 diabetes care for non-specialists. Named speakers include dermatology, GPwER and obesity-focused clinicians, and the venue is Cavendish Venues in central London. No abstract submission route, publication outcome, general registration deadline or reliable priced ticket amounts were visible on the inspected pages. The registration page exposed ticket categories for PCDS GP/GPwER members, PCDS HCP/registrar/trainee members, non-member GPs and non-member HCPs/registrars/trainees, but the price cells rendered as zero, so costs have not been written to the summary fields. The PCDS footer provides society social channels, which are included for follow-up.
