Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2022

Review of the Period (continued)

Diversity, inclusivity and equality A working group on equality, diversity and inclusivity was established to ensure the BSPAD leadership reflects the membership and the patients we serve. Malobi Ogboli has been leading this process with regular communications to membership. The recent elections for members of the executive committee has been a positive process with increased members of diverse ethnicity standing and successfully to join the executive committee. This work is ongoing.

Psycho-dermatology in children and young people. The BSPAD taskforce addressing the mental health needs of dermatology patients was established in 2019. This work has included a systematic review and survey of dermatologists. This revealed no validated tools to assess psychological morbidity in children and young people with skin problems and a need for guidance. A group of key stakeholders (including dermatologists, patient groups, primary care, psychologists, nurses, psychiatrists) was established. Consensus recommendation for all health workers managing children and young people with skin conditions is now finalised and accepted for presentation at BAD, RCPCH. Article currently in press (BJD)

Patient information. Patient information leaflets for children and young people continue to be developed in a joint initiative with the BAD Therapeutics and Guidelines Committee and available on the BAD patient resources. This continues to produce PILs appropriate for children and young people when age-appropriate information was not previously available. This has included recent information on lymphoproliferative conditions, Spitz Nevi and Pilomatrixoma and emollients. Further in process include mastocytosis and allergy testing in atopic dermatitis.

BSPAD members’ work with charities and patient groups in research, services and development of resources. Work includes collaboration with eczema outreach society, national eczema society. Psoriasis society, VitiligoUK and Changing Faces informing research and resources. This included delivery of plenary session at BAD 2022 and key input into development of website and patient information resources. BSPAD has engaged through the BAD with leads of all patient support groups which has led to engagement of many young people joining a youth forum which is currently being established and plans to deliver a key role to young people in ongoing BSPAD and BAD work.

Education, Training and peadiatric dermatology service delivery. The GIRFT report highlighted the need for paediatric dermatology care across the UK. BSPAD are working closely with BAD to respond to this unmet need by ensure training pathways exist both for dermatologists to ensure training in paediatric dermatologists and for paediatricians to train in dermatology to serve the needs of all children and young people with skin conditions. Helen Goodyear and Lindsay Shaw continue to lead this work with a now established RCPCH SPIN module in Paediatric Dermatology and working with Veronica Kinsler at GOSH to work to develop pilot scheme supported by RCPCH aimed at general paediatricians who want to gain structured paediatric dermatology expertise. There is a plan to develop a reciprocal programme with a dermatologist having training in paediatrics alongside CCT training in dermatology. Work on post CCT paediatric dermatology fellowships to ensure existing programmes are strengthened and to ideally develop more across the country are future aims. Lindsay Shaw continues to be involved in current work alongside BAD on paediatric dermatology commissioning and services.

Research, Guidelines and Drug monitoring. The BSPAD has key role in supporting research opportunities in work which has has been led by Carsten Flohr and will now be taken forward by new committee member Maanasa Polubothu including developing a research portal on the bspad website to include research opportunities, grants, recruiting studies and relevant courses.

Following on from the joint call with UKDCTN BSPAD organised a small grants call £10K with the British Skin Foundation BSF for the first time in 2022 and this is now being repeated in 2023 and likely to be an annual initivative. 2022 grant awarded to the team in Oxford for a research project:‘A Qualitative Study of the Psychological Morbidity in Paediatric Survivors of Stevens Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis’ Study leads: Tess McPherson and Chris Phillips.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees

I report on the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2022 set out on pages 7 and 8.

Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) or under Regulation 10 (1) (d) of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (the 2006 Accounts Regulations) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and section 44 (1) (c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (the 2005 Act);
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission and is in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and section 44 (1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act and section 44 (1) (b) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 9 of the 2006 Regulations have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
