Opportunities exist for cross-specialty learning between dermatology and other medical disciplines; to the benefit of patients, clinical decision making and professional development. The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) promotes the concept of ‘psoriatic disease’ to encompass psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and in their new disease management recommendations emphasise the importance of collaborative working between dermatologists and rheumatologists1. Whilst the group primarily focuses on adult disease we suggest that a similar model should exist for the paediatric population. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
