Tools for the Professional

The National Rosacea Society (NRS) seeks not only to raise public awareness and support research, but also to provide medical professionals with patient education and professional tools that can aid in the diagnosis, treatment and effective management of this chronic and widespread disorder.

The widely used patient education materials published by the NRS are available in bulk quantities to health professionals, incorporating the standard criteria for rosacea. These include the introductory booklets "Understanding Rosacea" and "Managing Rosacea"; the "Rosacea Diary" and "Coping with Rosacea" booklets to aid in identifying and minimizing individual rosacea triggers; and the newsletter, Rosacea Review. An easy-to-use, interactive order form makes it fast and simple to request the desired quantities.

In addition, the NRS makes a broad range of professional materials available specifically for health professionals, such as the clinical scorecard for evaluating rosacea patients and a "Faces of Rosacea" office poster illustrating the four subtypes of the condition. The NRS consensus committee and review panel of 21 rosacea experts developed a standard classification system and a standard grading system to provide standard criteria and terminology for the diagnosis and management of rosacea. Professional materials may also be requested using the online order form.
