Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disease, affecting in excess of 1 million people in the UK alone. Despite its high prevalence, the disease attracts little attention from most medical specialities and grant giving bodies. Approximately 70% of patient care is General Practitioner based. Despite this, treatment in the community is often inadequate. Perhaps this is due, at least in part, to the fact that most General Practitioners receive minimal dermatological training.

This unique pocketbook presents an up-to-the-minute clinical overview of psoriasis and its primary care management in an easily accessible format. The text takes a practical approach to the subject covering diagnosis, management, and guidelines for treatment and referral.
