People with chronic skin disease are at a higher risk of mental health problems. A recent report shows that 98% of people with skin problems believe their condition has had a negative impact on their emotional and psychological well-being. Yet few patients with long term dry skin conditions and associated mental health problems receive the recognition and support they need.¹
The learning objectives for this webinar are to:

Increase evidence-based knowledge on the psychological impact of dry skin conditions in the general population.
Improve clinical confidence in advising and educating patients on treatment options for both dry skin conditions and any related mental health concerns.
Enhance understanding of some criteria to consider when making a referral.
