Study Days
More than 250 doctors, nurses and pharmacists attend the National Eczema Society’s professional training days, which we hold around the country each year.
The workshops include demonstrations on wet wraps, bandaging and emollient application, plus presentations from dermatology specialists and the chance to talk with eczema patients, to hear first hand the difficulties of living with eczema.
Our support of healthcare professionals in the community with training days and information has helped to ensure that at least 130,000 patients had access to the latest advice in treatment and care.
The 2008/9 Study Programme began on September 18, 2008 in Edinburgh followed by November 20, in Manchester. Other study days are planned for Belfast, Middlesbrough, Bradford and Maidstone in 2009. You can click below for further information on the 2008 events.

NLH National Knowledge Week
The NLH Skin Disorders Specialist Library is based at the Centre of Evidence Based Dermatology within the University of Nottingham. The Library is holding its second National Knowledge Week on Atopic Eczema from 15th – 19th September to coincide with National Eczema Week.
Details of what is involved can be found in their Calendar entry on their website here: http://www.library.nhs.uk/skin/Page.aspx?pagename=ECZEMAHOME.
The National Knowledge Week includes a search for newly published systematic reviews published as the Annual Evidence Update, accompanied by a range of interpretative commentaries on current issues. While the contents are mainly aimed at health professionals, they may be of interest to the more "expert" patients and parents as a source of information on recent developments.
