Generalized Pustular Psoriasis: Through the Eyes of Our Patients
Sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceutical, Inc.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Program Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to provide healthcare providers with current information and increased knowledge of the characteristics that distinguish generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) from other skin conditions; recognize cytokine pathways that play a predominant role in the development and progression of GPP; evaluate strategies that may improve the clinical management of GPP based on results of recent clinical trial and real-world data; select appropriate questions to ask patients diagnosed with GPP; and to uncover quality of life issues that require immediate attention. GPP has a substantial impact on patients’ physical, emotional, and psychological well-being that goes far beyond what many providers see in the clinical setting. It is vital that dermatology advanced practice providers and registered nurses become more aware of some of the most significant issues that impact patients with GPP on a day-to-day basis so that they may help strategize viable solutions.
