Our origins
The PCDSI was born out of an educational meeting held at the Royal Hospital in Donnybrook, Dublin, in 1996. The subject of the first meeting was cryosurgery, with Professor Christos Zouboulis (Berlin) and Arthur Jackson (UK) as the main speakers.
The Society was established by our founding members: Dr Hilda Fennell O'Shea, Dr David Buckley, and Dr Johnny Loughnane.
The PCDSI was developed partly in parallel with the UK Primary Care Dermatology Society (formed July 1994), and was originally a branch of the PCDS (UK) before becoming an independent Irish society.
Webinars
Live and recorded evening sessions for members, led by GPs and consultant dermatologists.
