“…Power differentials between lay person and practitioner also need to be minimised. In agreement with the existing literature, our study concludes that knowledge is power 62 does not hold true in primary care eczema consultations. While practitioners often have access to more clinical information, patients are frequently experts in their own condition.…”

ObjectiveTo devise strategies to amend lay and practitioner atopic eczema mindlines ‘collectively reinforced, internalised tacit guidelines’, to improve consultation experiences and self-management practices in primary care.DesignCo-creation workshops informed by the Co:Create Coproduction Matrix.SettingConference centre in central England and via remote communication.ParticipantsLay people with, and parents of children with, atopic eczema, practitioners, a researcher and a facilitator (n=22).ResultsEczema mindline amendment needs to address people and parents of children with the condition, practitioners and wider society in parallel. For lay people trust and ‘realness’ of amendment activity was vital and practitioners wanted practical, locally relevant, hints and tips, tailored, ‘no faff’ approaches. To improve consultation experiences and self-management practices, five key, consistent, evidence-based messages need to be instilled into eczema mindlines: (1) eczema is more than just dry skin, (2) eczema does not just go away, (3) moisturisers are for every day, (4) steroid creams are okay when you need them and (5) you know your child’s eczema best.ConclusionThis co-creation study provides original insights into what eczema knowledge should be mobilised, who needs to have this knowledge, how this should be achieved to amend existing mindlines to improve consultation experiences and self-management practices in primary care.The remaining challenge is to refine, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of strategies developed to instil the five core messages and erase outdated or inaccurate information.
