A Centre for Community-Driven Response in health

Yes, I think it would be that actually eczema is very debilitating and it’s much more debilitating than they give it credit for. Even as a kid, you are ashamed of what you have, you are uncomfortable. Participant 80
Just to take that holistic approach, that it’s not just about fixing what you can see. Also, really and especially in our society now, eczema does have a big impact on your mental health and your relationships, and the worse that it is, the more of an impact it does have. Participant 6
My message would be to look at them from a holistic perspective, so don’t just give them access to a GP who just gives them steroids, and wet dressing treatments, but to give them a really well rounded service. Participant 34
It’s something you probably grow up with, and live with, and by the time you get to be an adult, you’re sort of almost like, “This is part of day to day life.” Participant 8
What I would want to say is, we need to re-evaluate how our current health system can support well-being. I think we’re missing the mark, particularly in mental health, and skin health. Participant 46

Thank you to each and every person that participated in this PEEK study
