Guidelines for Phototherapy and PUVA Service Delivery in Australia: Minimum Standards and Quality Assurance Framework.

Abstract

Phototherapy is a well-established treatment modality for various dermatological conditions; however, there is currently no national standard governing its delivery in Australia. These guidelines aim to define minimum standards for the provision of phototherapy and PUVA services, offering a structured framework to support consistency in clinical practice, enhance patient safety, optimise therapeutic outcomes and serve as a national benchmark for high quality phototherapy care. These standards are informed by expert opinion and existing frameworks such as the British Association of Dermatologists' Phototherapy Guidelines.
