NICE guidelines
NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence which is part of the NHS) has launched a new page on their website that allows carers and members of the public to search for the versions of guidance that are written just for them.
Until now, patients and the public have had to look through the individual pieces of NICE guidance in order to identify the relevant patient versions.
The new NICE patient web page allows users to find all of the understanding NICE guidance
and quick reference guides in one place. This will make it much easier for
patients to find the information they want.
For NICE Guidelines about eczema just follow this link - when the
new window opens simply type in the word eczema in the 'find text' box and then select skin in the 'health topic box'. All the relevant guidance for eczema will
then be displayed so you can easily select the information you are looking for.
Other NICE publications of relevance to those with eczema are:
How often should corticosteroids be applied for atopic eczema?
Tacrolimus and pimecrolimus for atopic eczema
