Good Care: A Psoriatic Arthritis Project

Good Care: A psoriatic Arthritis Project

Understanding the course of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) has led to important breakthroughs in therapy, yet many needs of people living with PsA remain unmet. Through the GoodCare Project for PsA , IFPA aims to unite with rheumatologists and the PsA community to raise awareness of updated treatment guidelines and promote their use worldwide. By spreading this information, we can strengthen advocacy efforts and work toward improving the quality of life for people with PsA everywhere.

IFPA Good Care Project  at ACR Convergence 2025 : Oral Abstract Presentation

We’re proud to share that our IFPA Ambassador, Kathleen Gallant, delivered a powerful presentation at ACR Convergence 2025, held in late October in Chicago, Illinois. The event gathered rheumatologists from around the world to discuss advances in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases
In her talk, she introduced the GoodCare for psoriatic arthritis — a project that turns real patient experiences into practical tools for healthcare professionals. It connects what people with psoriatic arthritis experience every day with how care is delivered, helping patients and clinicians better understand each other.

Through this initiative, IFPA and its partners co-created educational materials, podcasts, and a patient checklist designed to support treatment planning and shared decision-making, available in nine languages.

The project has reached thousands worldwide, helping patients and healthcare professionals work together toward better, more personalized and inclusive care. Kathleen’s story and her message clearly resonated with the audience, showing that collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals can do more than improve health outcomes — it can changes lives.
 
A heartfelt thank you to Kathleen for representing the patient voice with authenticity and passion, to ACR Convergence for providing this platform, and to Board Member Helen Crawford and our Scientific Officer Sicily Mburu, MD as well as to our partners in this led by project Zsofi Bakonyi, for making this event possible.
