Abstract
Psoriasis affects around 2% (approximately 1.8 million people) of the UK population. Although psoriasis is often thought of as a condition affecting older adults, it can occur at any point in the lifespan, and around one third of those with the condition experience their first incidence of psoriasis before the age of 16 years. While psoriasis can be managed with effective treatment, it cannot be cured and is often lifelong. This article looks at the effect psoriasis can have on the quality of life and wellbeing of children and young people with the condition, as well as the role school nurses can play in supporting them.
