Making real our shared vision for the NHS: optimising the treatment and care of people with long-term skin conditions in England

The NHS is working hard to improve skin cancer diagnosis and treatment and much has been written about how to achieve this. This report is very different.

It seeks to address the imbalance in care that has resulted for people with inflammatory skin conditions and particularly long-term skin conditions such as psoriasis, atopic eczema, urticaria, rosacea and acne, as a result of the recent heavy emphasis on skin cancer.

It reflects the discussions held during Expert Working Group (EWG) meetings, and the findings of updated data about the amount of skin disease seen in primary care.
