Working closely with specialist EB nurses and the NHS, a widespread review of all publications is currently underway to make them all easily available online, at which stage they will be added to the list below.
In the meantime, hard copies of booklets are available from the DEBRA office. Download a full list here and email it to membership@debra.org.uk to request your copies. There is no charge for literature, but a contribution towards production costs and postage (suggested donation £2.50 for up to three publications) will enable DEBRA to continue its vital educational work.
