On this page, you will find eczema care plans that you can download and use to help manage your child’s eczema.

They can be downloaded, and either be completed electronically or printed off and complete by hand.

Care plans include written information about eczema, treatment and help families, children and young people feel more confident to manage the eczema

You can use these plans with a health professional (e.g., GP, nurse, dermatologist) to make your child’s treatment plan as clear as possible and to help you to discuss key issues relating to your child’s eczema. You can use a new copy every time your child’s treatment changes.

You might also find it useful to give a copy of your care plan to your child’s nursey, school, or other family members to help them understand how they can help look after your child’s eczema.

Care Plan

There is one version of the care plan for children up to nine years old which is to be filled out by a carer and one for young people who are more involved with managing their own eczema

They can be downloaded, and either be completed electronically or printed off and complete by hand.

Treatment Plan

If you only want the page on the care plan that talks about treatments –  you can download the treatment plan separately and this also makes it easier to update your child’s treatment as you go.

Please help us understand how the care plans are being used and gain feedback by completing a short online survey: go.uwe.ac.uk/eoscareplans.

The EOS care plans were developed with help from children and young people with eczema, the Youth Panel, parents, health professionals, and psychology researchers Dr Ella Guest and Dr Pippa Tollow from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR) at the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol.

Thank you to everyone who helped to develop the care plan, the Project Advisory Panel, and the Vocational Training Charitable Trust (VTCT) Foundation and the University of the West of England for funding the project.
