Para 1.20 | As a charity, we have provided extensive support to our membership in navigating access to dermatology. Waiting lists in dermatology continue to be extremely long, and we are concerned that vitiligo patients are triaged out of secondary care in favour of other inflammatory skin conditions. We provided patients with a guide to talking to your GP about your vitiligo based on the information provided by the Primary Care Dermatology Society. We became part of the Education Sub- committee at the BAD in this period and began work on a psychodermatology project alongside Professor Andrew Thompson of Cardiff University. The aim of this is to provide online content to support patients who are significantly impacted by their skin condition. This is in the absence of any national psychodermatology service for patients. We continued to provide extensive support and advice to patients in our closed Facebook group and used the BAD Guidelines for managing patients with vitiligo to provide standardised advice for our members to enable them to access primary care, shape their treatment and go on to secondary care where appropriate. |
