Skin ‘n’ Bones Connection brings fresh insights and updates on psoriasis and psoriatic disease, focusing on key developments that impact those living with the condition.
Psoriasis is now recognised as more than just a skin issue—it’s a whole-body disease. New research into genetics is opening up possibilities for better treatments and a deeper understanding. The journal also explores the emotional and practical impact of psoriasis on families, a theme highlighted during World Psoriasis Day.
Health risks are also front and centre, with a clear message about the dangers of smoking. Nicotine can worsen psoriasis, and the issue encourages everyone to take charge of their health. Meanwhile, the new Patient Initiated Follow-Up (PIFU) system is giving patients more control over their care and appointments, making healthcare more flexible and patient-centred.
The journal also invites readers to share their views on the future of the NHS, while continuing to highlight crucial research that could lead to better treatments for psoriasis.
This issue underscores how much we've learned and how much still needs to be done to improve psoriasis care.
