3rd World Psoriasis & Psoriatic Arthritis Conference will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, between the dates June 27- July 1, 2012. The scientific program will also, as before, be strongly influenced by IFPA’s worldwide member survey, to ensure that the patient’s perspective is included. There will also be special seminars and side tracks for nurses, allied health professionals and others, who have a most important role in the care of psoriasis patients.
