The severe psoriasis service provides highly specialised care and management for adults with severe psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery scales.
We see people from our local community, regionally and nationally following referral from another dermatologist.
The clinic is supported by a consultant rheumatologist, a nurse consultant, an advanced nurse practitioner, a psychologist, a comprehensive treatment unit and a phototherapy suite.
Research
We have a comprehensive research programme led by the Skin Therapy Research Unit (part of the genetics and molecular medicine division) at King's College London. It includes clinical trials assessing new treatments in psoriasis.
