Welcome to the NLH Skin Disorders Specialist Library
The NLH Skin Disorders Specialist Library (formerly the Skin Conditions Specialist Library) is being developed as a "one-stop" resource bringing together high quality, evidence-based information on all of aspects of skin disorders, including their treatment and management and the impact they have on patients.
The Skin Disorders Specialist Library is funded by the NHS to meet the information needs of health care staff such as dermatologists, dermatology nurses, GPs, practice nurses, community nurses and NHS managers.
Patients, carers and the general public are welcome to use this site, but may wish to visit NHS Direct Online first. We regret that we are unable to respond to personal medical queries. For such matters we would advise you to contact NHS Direct or your usual doctor.
To find out more about the Skin Disorders Specialist Library, please see this article in BMC Dermatology. You can also view the Library's inclusion and quality criteria. If you are a first time user, do take a look at our Help page and try our Robodemo, an animated demonstration of the main features of the Library.

This is the second Annual Evidence Update on Psoriasis produced by the the NLH Skin Disorders Specialist Library, with the results of a search for new national guidance and systematic reviews published since the first Annual Evidence Update in November 2007. There is also a "what’s new” analysis, discussing the new evidence and its implications for clinical practice.
