Welcome to the homepage of the National Knowledge Week on Atopic Eczema, 15th-19th September, 2008.
This second National Knowledge Week on Atopic Eczema, organised by the NLH Skin Disorders Specialist Library to correspond with National Eczema Week, highlights evidence on atopic eczema and its treatment.
The National Knowledge Week pages include our second 2008 Annual Evidence Update on Atopic Eczema, the results of a search for new systematic reviews on atopic eczema (regarded as the highest level of evidence on health interventions).
There are also daily commentaries from experts in eczema therapy and research, a mapping by topic of systematic reviews on eczema published since 2000, and links to other sources of information on atopic eczema.
