Summary
Evidence-based update meetings are held annually by the Centre of Evidence Based Dermatology, University of Nottingham. Past topics have included important themes such as eczema, psoriasis, hair disorders and skin cancers. This year, the seventh Evidence Based Update meeting focused on blistering disorders and took place in Loughborough University on 5 June 2008. The latest data on incidence and mortality, therapeutic trials and management of bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus and epidermolysis bullosa (EB) were presented by an international panel of renowned speakers. The highlights of the meeting included an informal atmosphere, an international perspective, a practical question and answer session and hearing first-hand a patient and carer’s perspective of living with EB.
