Welcome to the PAPAA website
 |
PAPAA was founded in 2007, as a joint venture between the Psoriatic Arthropathy Alliance,and the Psoriasis Support Trust, with the aim of merging the original charities into a single entity, becoming a principal resource of information and help for people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in the UK.
PAPAA knows only too well the day-to-day struggles of living with a long-term medical condition and problems that are faced by people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and as an organisation is working to keep the patient centred voice alive.
|
This continuity and link will offer the focus and understanding that will be needed in order to provide a service that patients in the 21st Century will need, whether it is information, a listening ear or a disease management programme, PAPAA will aim to provide traditional patient support as well as new innovative approaches that a changing healthcare environment requires.
