EB CARE

EB is a very complex condition with many different aspects of health and social care to consider. We have developed a range of EB care resources that you can view and download for free. These have been developed by you for you. If you are interested in sharing your experiences to help us create more, we would love to hear from you.

CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES (CPGS)

Clinical practice guidelines, or CPGs for short, are guidelines that provide recommendations for medical and social care. They are based on evidence gained from international research evidence coupled with opinions from professional experts and people living with EB.

Below, you can find all the CPGs we have published as well as information on the ones we are currently developing.

Sharing these CPGs with the healthcare professionals who look after you is a valuable way of ensuring your care is based on the latest best practice for EB.

​

Patient versions

For each newly published CPG, we are developing patient versions. These are designed specifically with you in mind. They take the information and recommendations from the CPGs and put them into a format that is easily understood by everyone.

​

Get involved

Our mission is to produce guidelines for all the major clinical areas involved in the care of people with EB and to do that we need you. Whether you have EB yourself, or are a parent or carer, your experiences and expertise in EB are essential to help us develop them and decide which topics to prioritise.

PATIENT VERSIONS

Patient versions are specifically designed to be used by patients, carers, and the general public. They "translate" the information and recommendations from clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), originally created for healthcare professionals, into a format that is more easily understood by everyone.

Going forwards, we are creating patient versions for each new CPG published. Below, you can find all the patient versions we have created as well as information on the ones we are currently developing.

​

EB infographics

To complement the patient versions, we are also providing EB infographics. These are mainly picture rather than text based. Although they are targeted at people in low resource areas, the information is relevant to anyone living with or caring for someone with EB.

​

Get involved

Our mission is to produce patient versions to accompany all newly-published CPGs. To make them as relevant to you as possible, we are always looking for people to provide quotes and photographs to be included in each one.

EB INFOGRAPHICS

The EB infographics are very similar in content to the patient versions but whereas the patient versions are text based, the infographics are more picture based. Although they are targeted at people living in low resource areas, the information is still relevant to anyone living with or caring for someone with EB.
