Find out the latest on atopic dermatitis in this new 1 hour module
Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic, relapsing, pruritic, inflammatory skin disease that occurs most frequently in children, but may also occur in adulthood.1,2 Although atopic dermatitis may sometimes be perceived as a relatively benign condition, it can have a significant impact on the psychosocial well?being and quality of life of patients, highlighting the need for timely and effective management.1,2
Our improved understanding of the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis in addition to the availability of new systemic therapies is rapidly changing best practice management approaches.3 It is now understood that, as a highly heterogeneous condition, atopic dermatitis requires an individualised, multifaceted approach to treatment.4
This module will update GPs, and other primary healthcare providers, on the latest evidence to help them confidently diagnose atopic dermatitis and implement individualised treatment approaches. You'll gain access to practical tools and strategies that will allow you to optimise outcomes in your patients with atopic dermatitis.
