Empowering Women of Childbearing Age: A Patient-HCP Multidisciplinary Collaboration to Enhance Care for WoCBA

Women of childbearing age (WoCBA) living with chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, psoriasis, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis continue to face significant healthcare challenges, despite rapid advancements in the medical field. More than ever, identifying how to enhance the healthcare experience of these women is a priority.

With that in mind, ��ֳ� partnered with patients representing multiple chronic diseases and specialist healthcare professionals (HCPs) spanning rheumatology, neurology, dermatology, psychology, and obstetric medicine across the globe. Together, we discussed how we can address challenges faced by women of childbearing age living with various chronic diseases and proposed comprehensive solutions.

Four primary unmet needs in the healthcare journey of women of childbearing age living with chronic disease were identified: a lack of patient support, insufficient specialist discussions, suboptimal coordination of the care pathway, and the need to better empower women.

To face those barriers, a powerful collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals across multiple therapeutic areas is the cornerstone of progress. Together, their combined efforts create a synergy that goes beyond individual therapeutic area, making the journey towards solutions for chronic conditions in WoCBA far more impactful. By actively working together, we not only enhance our understanding but also pave the way for tailored and effective solutions, ultimately elevating the standard of WoCBA patient care. In the dynamic workshop environment, participants pinpointed critical steps, including the development of comprehensive information resources for HCPs and patients. The focus extended to strengthening collaboration among specialist HCPs through a multidisciplinary team approach and the establishment of patient peer support groups.

At ��ֳ�, we are committed to continue collaborating with expert groups, patients, and HCPs. Our goal is to improve the healthcare experience for WoCBA who are living with chronic diseases.

The 31st European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress in Milan, Italy, will welcome leading clinical experts, healthcare professionals and advocates in the fields of dermatology and venereology in person, and virtually, between September 7–10. At this year’s congress, we are thrilled to be showcasing a wide breadth of data from across our expanding dermatology portfolio, with 20 ��ֳ� posters being presented.

Featuring over 600 speakers across more than 170 sessions, EADV 2022 aims to shape the future of dermatology and venereology by facilitating scientific discussion, networking and collaboration. We are proud to be contributing significantly to the high-quality scientific research and debate, demonstrating our commitment to improving standards of care in dermatology.

Among the 20 ��ֳ� poster presentations, we will be sharing new three-year data from the BE BRIGHT open-label extension study in adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. We are also supporting four scientific sessions where world-leading experts in dermatology will be communicating the newest approaches and advances in care.

Dermatological conditions such as psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis affect millions of people around the world and can have a considerable impact on quality of life. While there have been great strides in this field so far, the work does not stop here. Together with the community, we continue to strive for more, by continuing with research, sharing new data and hosting sessions so we can collectively make a difference for those living with chronic inflammatory skin diseases.

EADV 2022 promises to be another ground-breaking meeting with an outstanding programme of educational and learning opportunities for dermatologists and venereologists worldwide. If you are a healthcare professional attending EADV 2022, we hope to welcome you to our exhibition booth and educational sessions, both virtually and in person.

We are looking forward to an exceptional EADV experience. You can stay informed about ��ֳ� news at EADV 2022 through our social media channels (Twitter, LinkedIn).
