HPOS trial to identify who might develop psoriatic arthritis 

Participants, who are over 18 years of age and diagnosed with psoriasis, but not with psoriatic arthritis, will be asked to complete an online questionnaire every 6 months. 

Over a period of 3 years, the responses will be monitored and from the results the researchers will be able to identify which patients will go on to develop arthritis. The long-term aim is to try to prevent the development of arthritis before it occurs.
