Outpatients. Children should be seen in clinic by a consultant dermatologist or paediatrician, and EB clinical nurse specialist, at least once a year. Inpatient, planned admission Children with severe types of EB require multiple reviews on average every 3 to 6 months. Since patients come from all over England this may require a night or two in hospital. During their stay, children will have multiple consultations with the EB MDT team. Key core disciplines for paediatric EB patients • Consultant dermatologist • Consultant paediatrician • EB clinical nurse specialist • Dietician • Physiotherapist • Occupational therapist • Ophthalmologist • Dentist • Psychologist • Interventional radiologist • Palliative care/pain clinician • Plastic/hand surgeon • Podiatrist • Service co-ordinator • Administrative support Other MDT members of the wider EB team to be determined as deemed necessary for the EB patient population.

A decision should be made whether it is preferable to transfer the child immediately to one of the nationally designated centres, or whether initial care would most safely and comfortably be provided without transfer (prematurely transporting a child may be harmful). If the child is not transferred, arrangements should be made for follow-up in one of the designated centres when appropriate, but with outreach CNS support until then. Many babies with Xxxxxxx XXX will receive all care locally and from the outreach team without being reviewed face-to-face in either paediatric specialist centre. For older babies and children who are fit to travel, initial assessment will be as outpatient or day case at one of the nationally designated centres.
