Make consultations work for you
You might not have much time with your doctor, so make sure you’re getting what you need while you’re there. Use this section to find out how to make the most of PsA (psoriatic arthritis) appointments, how to go beyond each consultation by preparing in advance, and crucially, how to keep track of your progress in the meanwhile.
How to prepare to see your doctor

Record how you’re feeling

Do you have to see a doctor in person?
With COVID-19 part of all our lives, you might not always need to see your doctor in the flesh.
