Brilliant to share the experiences and challenges of our eczema community at the atopic eczema masterclass event for dermatology nurses yesterday in Birmingham.
Thank you to the British Dermatological Nursing Group for inviting us to take part and listening to patients!
It was fabulous as well to hear about all the progress being made by the dermatology nursing community to improve patient care.
Our Chief Executive, Andrew Proctor, talked about the priorities for National Eczema Society going forward, including campaigning for NICE quality guidelines for atopic eczema fort adults and fair access to emollients in NHS prescription.
Additionally, National Eczema Society Trustee, Professor Celia Moss also spoke at the event, explaining what we know about topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) and the urgent need for more research.
Sometimes skin conditions, particularly those that are visible, can have a profound effect on mental health in addition to the physical symptoms caused.
Together with the British Skin Foundation, the Skin Health Alliance and 13 leading skin organisations, we want to better understand the impact of skin conditions on mental health. To do this, we have launched the Psychodermatology & Me survey.
The insights gathered will help to inform an upcoming campaign and help shape future support and research.

The survey will take approximately five minutes to complete.

After 10 years based in Camden, in north London, National Eczema Society has moved south of the river Thames to offices near London Bridge. Our new address is: 82 Tanner Street, London SE1 3GN.
Our new office is in a shared workspace called Canopi, and we’re now working alongside many other charities and social sector organisations who are also based here. This is more efficient and flexible office space for the Society and offers new opportunities to network and collaborate with other charities.
We’re celebrating the Society’s 50th anniversary in 2025!
It’s an opportunity to reflect on what we’ve achieved and also look forward to creating a better eczema future. National Eczema Society has supported countless people suffering with eczema over the past 50 years, and used our collective voice to campaign for better care. Though much more still needs to be done to improve the lives of people, and their families, living with eczema.
Eczema is a complex medical condition involving our genetics, immune system, environment and skin barrier. Currently, there is no cure for eczema. Until there is, we will work tirelessly to support research to find the answers we desperately need.
Through our determination, we are excited to launch our innovative eczema research programme. With your help, we want to fund ground-breaking, research projects investigating the underlying causes of eczema, explore new approaches to treatment, and, above all, improve the quality of life for everyone living with eczema.
Our charity relies on donations from wonderful supporters like you. By donating to our Christmas appeal, you will help us fund medical advances to make life better for everyone in our eczema community.
Thank you, and very best wishes of the season.
Andrew Proctor, Chief Executive
