Patient support package
Providing education and support to patients with atopic eczema is an important way to encourage adherence and self-management. To help you do this, we've developed a Patient support package, which can be downloaded from this site.
The package comprises a series of guides to print out and give to your patients to take home:
- 'What does my emollient do?'
- 'Can my emollient really make a difference?'
- 'Using topical steroids safely and effectively'
- 'Is my eczema infected?' guide
- The allergic triangle
You might also want to download our HCP support materials, which include some handy reminder cards for yourself or your practice and some counselling guides that you can use when providing education to your patients.
- NICE guidance on atopic eczema (stepped card)
- The emotional impact of eczema
- Communicating effectively with your patients
- The pack also contains an education plan template - to help you plan and pahse the education you provide to patients
