• by stimulating, promoting and publishing appropriate medical and scientific research, and
• by holding conferences, meetings and seminars.

The Society has a President, a Secretary and an Executive Committee who meet regularly. Clinical and scientific meetings are held 3 times a year, and regular symposia on relevant topics are held jointly with members of other disciplines. The President represents Scottish Dermatologists on the Executive of the British Association of Dermatologists.
