22 May 2025
Pyoderma Gangrenosum UK and Ireland (PGUKI)
In May, the BSMD sponsored a Pyoderma Gangrenosum Focus Day held at Wilan House,
London. Forty delegates attended for an update on PG, clinical cases and for discussions
on what the service improvement and research priorities for PG should be over the next
3 years. Presenters included Eugene Healy, Kave Shams, Josephine Wheeler, Mia Steyn,
Hannah Wainman, Emily House and Phil Hampton. It was an enjoyable and informative
day.
The following priorities were agreed:
- UK E-Delphi exercise to agree optimal approach to treatment
- Development of UK guidelines - possibly using a modified GRADE methodology due to low-quality evidence
- Consideration of a UK PG MDT once agreement is established on optimal treatment
- Work towards more research with the key goal of a prospective registry study, acknowledging the difficulties of registry funding without Pharma support. A first step may be a retrospective report focusing on treatment choices and healing outcomes to baseline the current approaches to management in more detail than the previous survey,
We will be looking for interested participants to join the e-Delphi process so please email bayanne.olabi4@nhs.net if you have time to participate.
