Educational initiatives
When demands on time are higher than ever before, we recognise that accessing training and education can be a challenge. We therefore have developed a series of FREE educational initiatives to help facilitate both independent and group learning.
Eczpert - independent learning for nurses and pharmacists
Eczpert was developed originally for nurses as an online, interactive programme to support those caring for people with eczema. A similar programme has subsequently been developed for pharmacists. Eczpert offers:
- Flexible learning - 12 concise tutorials covering the holistic management of eczema
- 12 hours of accredited CPD (from the RCN and CPP respectively)
- Further reading, practical hints and tips, reflective practice and useful downloads

Training with Eczema+
Eczema+ is a free training initiative designed for healthcare professionals with a special interest in Dermatology to use when training colleagues who are caring for patients with eczema.
Eczema+ consists of four modules. Based on a holistic approach to care, these modules are split between information on the disease, treatment and education on how to give patients with eczema appropriate emotional support.
- Module 1: What is eczema?
- Module 2: The role of emollient therapy
- Module 3: Talking to your patients about eczema
- Module 4: The emotional impact of eczema
Each module is designed to support a 2 hour training session and consists of:
- A core PowerPoint slide presentation – to introduce the topic
- Group exercises or case studies – to aid interactive learning
- Handouts and counselling cards – as reminders and to help when talking to patients
- Certificates of learning to provide to participants
