If there one interesting development today in Dermatology meetings, it is including patient organisation and bringing them on from planning levels. I first saw this at EADV Copenhagen 2015.
In November 2015, I was invited to Vitiligo MasterClass in Israel organised by Vitiligo Research Foundation and Israeli Society of Dermatology and Venerology.
At a recent meeting in Vancouver (Canada), leaders of vitiligo support organizations from 5 continents established a World Vitiligo Alliance, and invite leaders of other organizations to join. This is a major development in vitiligo area and more details will be released soon at www.worldvitiligoalliance.org
