Hi Con,
Welcome to the forum.
As Jim says I doubt they will put you on biologicals immediately. But for what it is worth, try to prevent that they give you methotrexate, that is kind of chemotherapy. If possible try to jump to e.g. Fumaderm, which over here in the Netherlands on the world psoriasis day few weeks ago was mentioned as it should be the first to try. Reason is simple, much chance in working and almost non toxic. There is a lot to read on it under DMF.
Enjoy your stay here and keep us posted on how things go
