📚 World Book Day at the Psoriasis Association!
To mark the occasion, we’re sharing some of our favourite books that explore psoriasis, skin health, and living well with the condition.
📖 Coping with Psoriasis – Dr Catherine O’Leary
Clinical psychologist Dr O’Leary, who also lives with psoriasis, shares her personal experiences while exploring the emotional and practical challenges of living with the condition. The book offers thoughtful advice and coping strategies, making it a valuable read for anyone affected by psoriasis.
🥗 Skin Food – Dr Thivi Maruthappu
Dr Maruthappu, the UK’s first dual-qualified nutritionist and dermatologist, explores the connection between nutrition and skin health. In Skin Food, she presents a four-step approach to healthier skin, combining evidence-based science with delicious recipes.
🛡️ The Little Knight with Psoriasis – Emmanuel Toni
Written for children living with psoriasis, this book helps young readers understand the condition and navigate treatments like creams and lotions in a supportive and empowering way. Emmanuel (Mani) Toni is a dermatology nurse and one of our current PhD students.
We’re incredibly proud that both Dr O’Leary and Dr Maruthappu have spoken at our conference previously, and that Mani will be joining them this year to give a talk on Psoriasis and Stigmatisation.
