Sharing the experiences of eczema patients with dermatology nurses

Brilliant to share the experiences and challenges of our eczema community at the atopic eczema masterclass event for dermatology nurses yesterday (24 March 2025) in Birmingham.

Thank you to the British Dermatological Nursing Group for inviting us to take part and listening to patients! Huge thanks to Kym Dawson for sharing her inspirational eczema journey.

It was fabulous as well to hear about all the progress being made by the dermatology nursing community to improve patient care.
