Psoriasis Update including Modern Management
Psoriasis Update including Modern Management is a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed for healthcare professionals working in primary care, dermatology, rheumatology, pharmacy, nursing, and community healthcare settings. The course provides an evidence-based overview of psoriasis, including its pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, associated comorbidities, psychosocial impact, and current management strategies. Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin condition that affects individuals of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. The disease is characterised by abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and systemic inflammation, resulting in erythematous, scaly plaques and a wide range of clinical presentations. Psoriasis is increasingly recognised as a multisystem inflammatory disorder associated with significant physical, psychological, and metabolic comorbidities.
