Providing holistic care
Eczema can be an emotionally distressing condition, which can be made worse by anxiety and stress. Listening to patients, clearing up any misconceptions and providing reassurance is as important as providing effective treatment.
Providing holistic care involves:
- Talking to patients about potential triggers
- Supporting parents/carers of children with eczema
- Supporting people who are suffering from sleep disturbance
- Recognising the emotional impact of eczema
