We in the Photodermatology Unit of St.John’s Institute of Dermatology, have created the Network in order to link together and provide support for Phototherapy Practitioners in England.

The South East of England Phototherapy Network was active until covid then lapsed, this network will aim to restart this work and in time be a managed clinical network again.

We aim to have 2 meetings a year, one virtual and one face to face in London. This will entail case studies submitted by members and updates/lectures. This will be a networking opportunity and to establish links with colleagues.

We hope you find the network useful. Please click here if you would like your department to become a member. Below you can see a map of our members.
