Since the term ‘patient-centred’ care was first used in the late 1960s, it rapidly become adopted as the gold standard of clinical practice. But is there perhaps an unintended consequence of this focus on the patient? Drawing on research from psychiatry, psychology and medical education, this lecture will explore whether clinical excellence requires a shift of focus to the doctor-patient relationship rather than just on the patient.

Psoriasis Lessons
Psoriasis is a common but highly complex immune-mediated disease. Research over the past several years has resulted in significant progress in our understanding of the key immune mechanisms underlying psoriasis which in turn have led to new, targeted therapies and the emergence of a stratified approach to management. Despite this progress we are still relatively ignorant of the natural history of psoriasis and its global burden. This lecture will annunciate a series of “lessons” in psoriasis which will include art; history; science; and geography.
