GRAPPA 2023 Patient Research Partner (PRP) Network Update: Enhancing PRP Involvement Within GRAPPA.

Abstract

Nine patient research partners (PRPs) attended the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 annual meeting in person in Dublin, Ireland. The importance of close relations between researchers, clinicians, and PRPs was highlighted at the PRP premeeting, with discussion regarding PRP engagement within GRAPPA with the GRAPPA leadership team. A presentation was given by PRPs at the plenary session, and there was continued active engagement of PRPs in breakout sessions, workshops, and plenary sessions compared to previous annual meetings. The GRAPPA PRP Network is committed to supporting the GRAPPA mission and contributing the unique perspectives of dedicated, knowledgeable individuals with the lived experience of psoriatic disease. This report provides a summary of the GRAPPA PRP Network meetings at the GRAPPA 2023 annual meeting and the continued commitment of the GRAPPA PRP Network to enhance PRP involvement within GRAPPA activities.
