'Honouring Legacy, Empowering the Future'
WELCOME
On behalf of the British Society for Dermatopathology I am delighted to invite you to attend the 2026 Symposium of the International Society of Dermatopathology in London.
We hope the connections, networking and friendships you will make here in London, along with the enriching educational sessions, will make your time and effort well worth it..
Please save the date and email conference@bad.org.uk to be added to the mailing list.
Further details on the programme, registration and abstracts will be added to this site shortly.
London ISDP2026 will be a live physical meeting, as we very much wish people to experience the event in person and there will be lots of networking opportunities
We anticipate ISDP2026 will have 200 – 300 Dermatopathologists, Dermatologists and Pathologists from across the Globe to discuss all aspects of Dermatopathology.
We are thankful to the Organising Societies:
British Society for Dermatopathology
International Society for Dermatopathology
British Association of Dermatologists (as PCO)
We look forward to seeing you in London in September 2026.
