Third in our summer #Replay series, we have selected this review of the BATHE study of eczema. After a recent conversation with researchers at the University of Southampton, where this study was conducted; it appears that their research has not yet filtered down to the primary care settings.

We hope this #Replay helps some of you to manage eczema more confidently and perhaps leads to a change in practice in terms of bath emollient usage.

This new research represents strong evidence for a significant change in health visitor practice - share it far and wide!

We really recommend reading the paper and looking at the infogram abstract and the accompanying video explaining the results - it's a very well presented and accessible piece of research (and, as a bonus, Professor Howard Williams has a very nice friendly voice!)
