Our website is the prime tool to reach both patients and medical staff, and we are very excited about this updated and improved website - our grateful thanks go to the British Association of Dermatologists for an amazing grant which has made the website revamp possible. It includes a Content Management System that will enable us to add and amend content ourselves, thus being able to keep the site right up to date without incurring additional costs.

The website will also have a database of the patient and medical staff mailing lists, which will streamline the regular newsletter mail outs significantly.

Individual advice - Julie Halford personally replies to all pleas for help and advice that are directed to her through the website, giving the benefit of her extensive knowledge of NHS and private treatments and how to access them.

Training for medical staff - Julie regularly addresses groups of dermatologists and dermatology nurses, to update them on the latest treatments. She has also written several clinical papers on the subject of hyperhidrosis.

Leaflets and posters are displayed in outpatients departments and GP surgeries.

Fundraising - our main fundraising activity in the past has been an annual sponsored walk organised by the British Skin Foundation, see www.britishskinfoundation.org.uk for details. In 2010 this raised over £900. We are extremely grateful for these donations, and we are happy to support any members who will help us with fundraising. To make a secure online donation, please visit www.charitygiving.co.uk/hyperhidrosis.

We also approach medical companies from time to time, to request help with costs such as printing brochures and posters, or attending dermatology meetings once or twice a year. We do not, however, accept advertising or sponsorship from commercial organisations, as we believe it is important that our website remains impartial and unbiaised.
