On 30th November 2022 we were extremely pleased to have Dr Roddy McMillan talk to us about the painful effects of pemphigus and pemphigoid in the mouth.

Dr McMillan is currently a consultant and honorary clinical fellow in oral medicine and facial pain at the Royal National ENT & Eastman Dental Hospitals. He is also president of the Council of the British & Irish Society for Oral Medicine. Dr McMillan was introduced to us by a very satisfied patient and PEM Friend Sandra. Everyone who attended enjoyed the talk and learned more about how to manage the pain caused by blisters and erosions in the mouth. We would like to thank Dr McMillan for both his time and his knowledge in this area that is of such interest to many of us.
