Psoriasis (more than skin deep)

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Patients with psoriasis are predisposed to cardiovascular problems, diabetes, depression and arthritis. At Westmead Hospital we have a free information evening on Thursday 20th of November 2014 (6.00 to 8.30pm). If you are suffering from psoriasis or have a family member or friend with psoriasis and want to know more about the condition and available treatments please join our panel of experts in this community forum. Our panel of experts consists of:
A/Prof. Pablo Fernandez-Penas (Dermatologist)
Prof. Nicholas Manolios (Rheumatologist)
Dr. Shehzi Yusaf (Psychologist)
Ms Jacinta O’Flynn (Clinical Nurse Consultant)
You will also hear a patient’s perspective to the disease and one of our clinical trial research staff will talk about our current and future trials for psoriasis.
