About the QUM Eczema Program

The impact of eczema on individuals and their families is substantial. Beyond the physical symptoms, eczema also brings psychosocial burdens that reduce well-being and quality of life. Person-centred management of eczema is at the centre of the Quality Use of Medicines Alliance Eczema program. Working with consumers and medical experts, we have developed a range of evidence-informed education interventions and resources to support improved quality use of eczema medicines and treatment strategies.
