Aims of the society: This is an organisation of natural and legal entities, who are involved in researches on dermato-venerology. The goal of this society is to develop dermato-venerology and cosmetic treatments, to enrich the scientific knowledge of the members, as well as to train the members in the fields of medical ethics. In order to reach its goals, the Hungarian Dermatological Society organises lectures, national and international conferences, publishes a learned journal (Bőrgyógyászati és Venerológiai Szemle in English: Journal of Hungarian Dermatology and Venereology) and other publications. An important aim of HDS is to maintain and improve good relationship with national and international societies. Conferences: The most important conference of HDS is the Annual Meeting in December each year since 1928. HDS joins the Euro Melanoma Day every year since 2007, when doctors of our society are doing melanoma screening.
HDS also arranges activities for the press and patient associations on the occassion of the Psoriasis World Day on the 29th of October every year. Paediatric Dermatological Days are also organised regularly by HDS. In every two years HDS organises a cosmetological conference together with the Association of Hungarian Private Dermatologists. Also in every two years the DUDG (German-Hungarian Dermatological Society) has an international congress.
