Short podcasts about people's experiences of psoriasis

Psoriasis Shout Out is a biannual event which gets people talking about psoriasis and brings patients together with professionals working in the field of psoriasis management and research

In October 2018, Vocal helped to develop the 50 Second Shout Outs project to mark the 50th anniversary of the Psoriasis Association.

In collaboration with patients and researchers, we created a series of 50 second podcasts about people’s experiences of psoriasis and their advice for managing the condition.

Psoriasis Shout Out is led by Professor Chris Griffiths, Director of the Manchester Centre for Dermatology Research and theme lead for the NIHR Manchester Manchester Biomedical Research Centre.

Listen to the podcasts here:
