PSORIASIS DICTIONARY FOR PATIENTS

Your guide to help you when speaking to your doctor

FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS

Psoriasis may have already affected aspects of your life but remember that you and your doctor are partners in managing your psoriasis. There is plenty of support available to help you maintain a good quality of life. Perhaps you have felt rushed or left the doctor’s office realising you haven’t discussed something that is important to you. Next time you visit your doctor, share your story and have an honest conversation about how psoriasis affects your daily life.

Finding the right words to describe your symptoms can be difficult; if you can describe your real-life experiences this can help your doctor understand exactly what you are facing, especially when the doctor’s time is limited. This dictionary will prepare you for conversations with your doctor about the care you need to live the life you wish for and deserve.

So we thought we’d help out.

This guide helps you get to grips with all the terminology you need before your appointment. It can help you to ask your doctor for clear skin and also to discuss all of the options that could help you to achieve this.

OpenLetter Value of Health Cooperation

EU Health Collaboration is crucial for Europe’s future

Dear President Juncker,
We, the undersigned organisations, repre senting EU health stakeholders, wish to express our grave concern about the future of health in European policies and programmes, in the light of your White Paper on the Future of Europe, and propose an urgent meeting with you and your services on this topic.
Our determined view, shared by the vast majority of EU citizens, is that health is absolutely and unequivocally a core business of the EU. Protection of a high level of human health and wellbeing is entrenched in the Treaties of the European Union.
1 EU collaboration in the field of health is indispensable for the future of Europe and rebuilding the trust of citizens in the European Union. We need more health to unlock the full potential of economic and social policies. 70% of Europeans want the EU to do more for health, according to the most recent Eurobarometer survey. With such a strong, unequivocal demand from EU citizens for more action in the field of health, it is essential that this is not only maintained, but actually enhanced. The EU needs to continue de liver results that make a tangible difference in the daily lives of its citizens and thus re-establish people’s trust in its institutions.
