Doctors have managed my treatment very effectively

"Doctors have managed my treatment very effectively"

About: New Victoria Hospital / Dermatology Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Dermatology (Skin Conditions)

(as the patient),

In January 2021 I had a bad flare up of psoriasis. Normally light treatment will help but actually made it worse this time. The staff (Isobel and Fay) at the New Victoria were great and referred me to the Drs at Glasgow. .

The Dr there has managed to get my psoriasis under control and has managed my treatment very effectively.  Another of the Drs has also been very helpful during this journey. I appreciate the support I have received from the NHS

The only aspect I would question is the process of moving onto biologics. It could be improved to enable severe psoriasis to be treated by biologics quicker.
