Dermatology, management and policy
Project researcher: Dr Jaclyn Tan, Academic Specialised Foundation Programme
Dermatology prescribing and psycho-dermatology
Jaclyn has a keen interest in dermatology and management/policy.
During her ASFP, Jaclyn created Trust-wide dermatology prescribing guidelines for the Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) NHS Trust under the mentorship of Dr Rubeta Matin and Prof James Fullerton. She won a QIP (quality improvement project) prize from the Trust for her work.
In addition, Jaclyn is currently working with Dr Tess McPherson on several psycho-dermatology projects involving adolescents with chronic skin conditions. The team has already setup an award-winning specialist dermatology service for young people, with embedded psychological support, and plan to expand on this. Jaclyn will continue to work in this area beyond the ASFP, whilst she pursues her Internal Medical Training. She has recently obtained ethics approval for her work and has been awarded a British Skin Foundation (BSF)/British Society of Paediatric and Dermatology (BSPAD) Small Grant.
Other work
During her ASFP, Jaclyn also published and presented other work concurrently:
- A Cochrane review on Rifaximin for the prevention and treatment of Hepatic encephalopathy;
- A publication on National pathways for Otoferlin gene therapy in Children with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD). This project received a presentation award at the British Society of Audiology 2023 Scientific Meeting and was also granted the Royal College of Surgeons (Edin) Elective Bursary;
- Multiple international and national oral presentations, including one on steroids and emollients at an event held by the British Association of Dermatologists.
