Dermatology day care treatment centres.

Abstract

Day care treatment centres provide the best solution for the treatment of most patients with psoriasis. The centre is not only ideal for treatment but has other roles, such as education of patients and nurses. The specialist dermatology nurse is the key to success. Out patient treatment of psoriasis is less expensive than in patient treatment. The development of a treatment centre should be seen as an additional facility and not as a substitute for in patient beds.
