Smart conversations for eczema: AI-enhanced motivational interviewing

Boost your skills in motivational interviewing with this AI-powered chatbot course, tailored for healthcare professionals managing eczema and the use of topical corticosteroids (TCS).

Effective eczema management requires more than prescribing moisturisers and TCS. It involves understanding patient concerns, providing education, and fostering shared decision-making. Many patients and carers are hesitant to use TCS due to fears amplified by social media and inconsistent advice, often avoiding these treatments and complicating their care. Concerns about topical steroid withdrawal have also heightened patient anxiety, making it crucial for healthcare providers to address these issues with confidence.

This course equips you with practical tools to improve patient conversations about TCS. Learn strategies to dispel myths, present evidence-based information, and address fears about side effects such as skin thinning and hypopigmentation. Gain insights into contextualising the rare occurrence of topical steroid withdrawal, helping patients feel informed and reassured about their treatment plan.

Transform the way you engage with patients about eczema management—enrol today and build your expertise in navigating these complex discussions.
