Fighting Skin Disease
 

The Skin Care Campaign (SCC) is an umbrella organisation representing the interests of all people with skin diseases in the UK. Established in 1992, it is a subsidiary of the National Eczema Society, a registered charity.

We regret that the Skin Care Campaign is unable to answer specific questions from individuals about their medical conditions.

INCLUSIVENESS

The SCC is by nature inclusive. Forum meetings, generally held twice a year, provide opportunities for the Campaign's patient organisations (skin patient support groups),  professional participants, corporate supporters and other supporting organisations to raise and discuss skin health issues and to prioritise the Campaign's activities. Voting rights are limited to the member organisations and objectives and activities are reviewed and agreed by the SCC Board.

 

All Party Parliamentary Group on Skin

The Skin Care Campaign works closely with the All Party Parliamentary Group on Skin (APPGS) for the improvement of dermatology provision in the UK.
