Better training needed for GPs dealing with psoriasis

[jiml]

Well that is great news something positive, I agree many gps look at psoriasis as a skin complaint when the visible skin is only the symptom they see, and consequently brush sufferers off with lotions and potions, some doctors and mine included have taken the approach of talking about it and referring to a dermatologist, for proper care. I know our hospital which is a training hospital when teaching about psoriasis, teach about the psychological impact psoriasis has on sufferers, many times I have been to the training school to give the student doctors an insight into the condition and to tell them the effect it has on every day living.

I hope this initiative is successful and hopefully rolled out nationwide
