2nd World Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Conference
2nd World Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Conference
In June over 900 dermatologists and rheumatologist from 66 countries gathered in Stockholm, Sweden, to discuss the latest scientific fact about psoriasis. The theme "Psoriasis -Skin and beyond" focused on the change of view regarding psoriasis as more than a skin disease.
We now know that there are several other medical problems than psoriasis arthritis linked to psoriasis, e.g. risk for cardiovascular conditions, eye problems, inflammatory bowel diseases, diabetes and obesity. The purpose of the conference was to bring all aspects of the psoriasis patient together in one conference and from a patient?s point of view discuss new scientific facts and studies.
The quality of presentations during the conference was extraordinary. The diverse faculty deftly managed to translate the conference program into a highly informative and interactive educational experience. This conference is a unique forum that combines the expertise of rheumatologists, dermatologists and other physicians from both the clinical and scientific arenas to address issues related to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. It is our hope that information disseminated at this conference will translate into a better understanding of disease mechanisms and improved treatment care. We hope that this conference provided a fertile atmosphere for the development of novel collaborations.
The plans for the next conference have already started. We welcome you back in 2012.
