We are incredibly fortunate to be joined by not only Ass. Prof. Dr. Rachel Sommer, Head of People-Centered Health Care Research and Psychodermatology at University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, but a surprise guest in leading Dermatologist Prof. Dr. Matthias Augustin, Director of the Institute for Health Services Research in Dermatology and Nursing of the same institution who discuss the vitally important work they both do in people-centered healthcare. Person-centered healthcare (PCHC) is a holistic approach to healthcare that puts the patient's needs and preferences at the centre of care.  In PCHC, the patient is seen as an active partner in their own healthcare, involved in all aspects of their care, from setting goals to making decisions about their treatment. This approach has been shown to provide improved patient outcomes and quality of life. We will explore the relevance of PCHC, especially in the context of mental health and dermatological conditions, discuss the benefits, how to implement it in practice, and current projects related to PCHC in dermatology.

Has the Covid pandemic impacted the care we receive for our arthritis or chronic illness? In this 'round table' chat, full of insight, lived experience and heartbreak, we discuss the experiences of Jacyln, Safia and Ashleigh to understand how their 'normal' care has changed over the last two years. From lifelong conditions to the recently diagnosed, we take a sample of stories from across the country to get a snapshot of how treatments and appointments may have been impacted, what shielding was like and how Covid-19 has changed the perception of chronic illness and disability. You can also contribute to this episode by completing a survey HERE to share your experiences during the pandemic.
