Let's Talk PsO

Janssen Ireland has produced a video and podcast series to support and empower people living with psoriasis as they await access to vital healthcare services. Hosted by broadcaster, Dr Ciara Kelly, PsO Let’s Talk Psoriasis is the first series of its kind designed to bridge the gap in support for people awaiting specialist care, by providing access to expert guidance from leading Irish dermatologists to help people manage their psoriasis.

PsO Let’s Talk Psoriasis features a range of guests including healthcare experts and people living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis providing insights and advice on a range of topics from treatment options, mental health, diet and nutrition, managing stigma and self-image. The panel will also answer some commonly asked questions as well as setting the record straight by busting some myths!
