Lean times for skin care

Article Abstract:

There are a number of serious difficulties associated with standards of care for people with skin problems in the UK, according to a report from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Skin. One of the main problems is obtaining drugs and dressings. This situation will be made worse by the department of health's decision that GPs will not be reimbursed for skin care products. The report also identifies a need to improve access to dermatology education and to deal with the implications of the closure of specialist dermatology beds.
