British Association of Dermatologists

The British Association of Dermatologists sets the service standards British skin cancer surgery is judged against. Its 2020 service guidance and standards for Mohs micrographic surgery were developed within a NICE-accredited framework and co-badged by the Royal College of Pathologists, the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, ENT UK, the British Society for Dermatological Surgery, the British Society for Dermatopathology and the British Oculoplastic Surgery Society; the Getting It Right First Time dermatology report treats them as the answer to unwarranted variation in how Mohs is done.

It was one of the bodies that developed NHS England's teledermatology roadmap and the multidisciplinary consensus group behind the timed skin cancer diagnostic pathway. Its patient information service publishes leaflets on basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, which matters because the keratinocyte cancers have no large patient charity of their own in the way breast, prostate and bowel cancer do.
