About the Dermatology Sustainability Network (DSN)
The Dermatology Sustainability Network’s mission is to raise the profile of sustainable practice, fostering transformational changes to deliver on decarbonisation in the field of dermatology.
We aim to provide a central home to for members to collaborate with likeminded colleagues, a platform for idea sharing, innovation and project development, to provide resources, and to showcase best practices to achieve our mission.
The DSN is endorsed by the British Association of Dermatologist’s sustainability subcommittee.
