Abstract
Day care treatment centres provide the best solution for the treatment of m ost 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 treatmen t centre should be seen as an additional facility and not as a substitute f or in patient beds.
