The article presents the summaries of papers on dermatology presented at the main plenary sessions. The National Health Service (NHS) Plan 2000 proposed the development of specialist general practitioners (GPs) to take referrals from other GPs in specialties including dermatology. The NHS Modernization Agency Action on Dermatology program funded pilot site studies of dermatology GPwSI, services and preliminary results were encouraging. By the end of 2005, all referrals from primary care will be performed electronically using a referral template. Currently only a proportion of referrals are electronic, allowing comparison with established paper referrals.
