3rd World Psoriasis & Psoriatic Arthritis Conference 2012
June 27 July 1, 2012 Stockholm, Sweden
“Psoriasis a global health challenge”
In 2012 the International Federation of Psoriasis Associations (IFPA) will be holding the World Psoriasis & Psoriatic Conference in Stockholm for the third time, in cooperation with leading dermatologists and rheumatologists. The purpose of the conference is to elucidate the disease from a number of scientific aspects. At the first conference, in 2006, the focus was on clarifying the connection between psoriasis of the skin and psoriatic arthritis. At the second conference, in 2009, we moved on to present an aggregated picture of psoriasis as a complex, chronic, inflammatory disease that can affect several of the body’s organs through a number of co-morbidities.
For this upcoming conference we have even further deepened the cooperation between IFPA and the medical profession, and a number of new areas will be covered which will improve the understanding and care of psoriasis patients, such as the psychosocial impact on quality of life.
The scientific program will also, as before, be strongly influenced by IFPA’s worldwide member survey, to ensure that the patient’s perspective is included. As with the 2009 conference, there will also be special seminars and side tracks for nurses, allied health professionals and others, who have a most important role in the care of psoriasis patients. This complementary program is arranged in cooperation with the International Skin care Nursing Group (ISNG).
