Being part of the plan

The 10‑Year Health Plan recognises that the NHS cannot deliver this transformation alone and must work closely with the voluntary sector, life sciences and technology partners. PAPAA is ready to be a constructive, specialist partner in psoriatic disease, bringing together lived experience, trusted information and a strong commitment to improving care.

We will continue to keep people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis at the heart of everything we do, share our knowledge with clinicians, commissioners and policymakers, and seek collaborations with NHS organisations, researchers and responsible industry partners who share our aim: better care and, ultimately, better outcomes for everyone affected by psoriatic disease.

​PAPAA’s chief executive, David Chandler, reflected on why this work matters to him personally:

“I was forced to give up work in my thirties because of psoriatic arthritis, and that experience is what drove me to help build the patient voice with my wife Julie, in the first place. For me, the 10‑Year Health Plan isn’t a new bandwagon to jump on – it’s a chance to take everything I’ve learned as a patient and as PAPAA’s chief executive, and use it to push for real, practical improvements in how people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are understood, treated and supported across the NHS.”
