Are you a health professional who supports people with vulval lichen sclerosus (LS)? We have a downloadable treatment plan template that might be useful! It comes with clear diagrams and prompts for points to explain to patients. Find it here www.lichensclerosusguide.org.uk/information-...

The LS Guide is here! Please take a look to learn more about LS, and share with others. This is an under-recognised, but not uncommon, condition which can have a huge impact especially if not diagnosed and treated properly. Lots of information and advice for patients and health professionals alike!

The Lichen Sclerosus Guide is now LIVE!

Empowering everyone with vulval lichen sclerosus (LS) to learn about the condition, access the right treatment and live more comfortably.

If you’ve got vulval LS, or you’re supporting someone who has, we’ve created this guide to help you.

SNEAK PEEK! We are so excited to launch in just 2 days' time on 17th January, World LS Awareness Day.

LS Guide will be a brand new resource about vulval lichen sclerosus, providing information to empower everyone to learn about the condition, access the right treatment, and live more comfortably.

Our paper about the lived experience of shingles is out. We found that for some people, linking it with 'low mood' or poor mental health was stigmatising, and resulted in shame and self-blame. Generally people don't know how debilitating shingles can be until they experience it.

Cannot wait to launch this on Friday, it's been a real labour of love over the last year and I'm so keen to see what people think! I hope it will help people and make a difference.
