National Eczema Society is a charity which aims to improve the quality of life for people who have to cope with this very difficult and debilitating long-term health condition. It is incredibly tough on both the person with eczema, especially children, and their families.
They provide an extensive range of eczema information and advice services and resources, across various communication channels and networks. They also work hard to give a voice for people with eczema, raising awareness of the condition, support research into new treatments and campaign for better medical care.
Here are some highlights of what they do to make a difference. They:
- provide reliable, evidence-based information and advice through website, social media channels, publications and members’ magazine, Exchange.
- offer individualised advice through the nurse-supported Helpline.
- raise awareness of eczema and work with key health officials on strategic issues.
- distribute copies of their publications to dermatology departments, GP practices, pharmacies and schools.
- campaign for better medical care for people with eczema.
- promote and contribute to research relating to eczema.
