Home phototherapy: experience of setting up a new service in the U.K.'s National Health Service. Br J Dermatol. 2019 Sep 09;: Authors: Warburton KL, Ward A, Turner D, Goulden V Abstract Home phototherapy was first reported for patients with psoriasis in a 19791 . A randomized controlled study in 2009 (PLUTO)2 comparing home with hospital based phototherapy for psoriasis showed home phototherapy to be a safe, effective and cost effective method of treatment delivery. Despite this, the uptake of home phototherapy in the UK has been very poor. Until now, Ninewells Hospital in Dundee is the only UK centre to offer a National Health Service (NHS) home phototherapy service3 . PMID: 31498877 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
