Studies have suggested that between 25 and 38 percent of patients with psoriasis are dissatisfied with their current treatment with widely varying adherence levels. This conference brings together distinguished experts in the field of dermatology and offers a comprehensive and practical guide for managing psoriasis and enhancing patient well-being in clinical practice. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the latest trends, evidence-based practices, and strategies to optimise patient outcomes within the NHS. The conference delves into the fundamentals, trends, and guidelines of psoriasis in the UK highlighting the impact on the healthcare system, insights into the quality of life of psoriasis patients, diagnostic tools and techniques, medical treatments, non-pharmacological treatment approaches, paediatric psoriasis, dermatology nursing, associated comorbidities, and the latest updates on psoriasis research and clinical trials. Throughout the day, there will be interactive sessions, small breakout groups, and collaborative exercises, fostering a dynamic learning experience.
“Psoriasis is a multifactorial disease, influenced by both genetic and environmental risk factors. Environmental factors associated with the onset or exacerbation of psoriasis, include streptococcal infection, drugs, ultraviolet light exposure, trauma, hormonal changes, HIV infection and AIDS, psychological stress, smoking, alcohol, and obesity. Genome-wide association studies have identified more than 60 genetic regions that are likely linked to psoriasis risk in people of European ethnicity.” ”
NICE
