Psychodermatology services guidance: The report of the British Association of Dermatologists' Psychodermatology Working Party

摘要

The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) has now published on its website the BAD Psychodermatology Working Party's report into the provision of psychodermatology services. This essential guidance underscores an important emerging subspecialty of dermatology that is gaining an increasing voice and momentum. In 2012, the BAD Psychodermatology Working Group, a national multidisciplinary team, was asked to report to the BAD membership on the extent of psychodermatology services and training across the U.K. In addition we were asked to develop a report indicating minimum standards and resources that should be available regionally across the U.K. The group membership included dermatologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurses who work in psychodermatology.
