Webinar replay: Chronic hand eczema - What GPs need to know

Chronic hand eczema is one of the most commonly missed and undertreated inflammatory skin conditions presenting in general practice.

In this webinar, dermatologist Dr Ryan De Cruz unpacks everything GPs need to know about chronic hand eczema, exploring how to confidently identify, assess, and manage chronic hand eczema in a primary care setting, with a focus on real-world cases and actionable clinical guidance.

Delivered in collaboration with LEO Pharma, the session covers:

• How to recognise chronic hand eczema and distinguish it from common mimics including tinea, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis
• Understanding the subtypes and why an accurate history is the key to getting the diagnosis right
• A severity-based approach to treatment and knowing when first-line options are falling short
• The significant quality of life impact on patients, and how to have more effective conversations in the consult room
• Clear guidance on when and how to refer, so your patients get the right care at the right time

The webinar includes Q&A and case discussions.
