Hello Rob 
to Psoriasis Club, nice intro.
Unfortunately 1 in 10 go on to get psoriatic arthritis, but there are things that can help. You mention NHS Doctor, are you seeing a dermatologist? If not demand your GP to refer you to one, they will be able to work with you to find some relief.
I'm not up on Lamps myself, but you do have to be careful in your choice. I have read before that Pure UVA sunbeds are ineffective for the treatment of psoriasis and you need UVB. Obviously you should protect your eyes and use plenty of moisturiser.
These threads may be worth a read.

9/10 English Sunbeds fail safety limits
Sunbed use increases risk of melanoma.
I think Krissie uses one I will give her a shout for you.
Regards.
