Cellulitis Priority Setting Partnership (PSP)

Overview

Cellulitis is an acute, painful and potentially serious infection of the skin. It is very common and is often managed in primary care but also accounts for around 2-3% of hospital admissions. Cellulitis is a relatively under-researched topic area. However, the number of people affected by cellulitis and the associated complications of cellulitis alone demonstrate the need for further research into the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this condition.

To address this, the James Lind Alliance Cellulitis Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) has been set up to identify and prioritise research questions that are important to people with cellulitis (their carers/parents of affected children) and healthcare professionals involved in their care.

The project was funded by the UK Dermatology Clinical Trials Network (UKDCTN) and co‐ordinated by the Centre of Evidence Based Dermatology.
