PraktiskMedicin.se is one of Sweden’s largest platforms for information and continuing education for doctors and other healthcare professionals. A new education is now being launched, which aims to strengthen the knowledge about mild to moderate psoriasis.
Every month, PraktiskMedicin.se is visited by 370,000 unique visitors, the majority of whom are healthcare staff. Many physicians use the PM Academy education platform and over 15,000 educations have been completed in the last two years.
Mild to moderate psoriasis is often treated in primary care, which is why it is important that there is a high level of security and a high level of knowledge among doctors and healthcare professionals. The education from PM Academy has been developed in collaboration with Sam Polesie, a specialist in skin and venereal diseases at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, with the aim of increasing the knowledge of prescribing healthcare staff.
– I believe that this training can strengthen doctors in primary care to be able to treat psoriasis patients to a greater extent themselves and also get an insight into how the disease can affect more parts than just the skin, says Sam Polesie, specialist at Hudkliniken Sahlgrenska University Hospital.
The education consists of 7 questions and answers that inspire and motivate learning in an interactive way. It is deliberately created to take only about 10 minutes to complete, without compromising on quality.
– In questionnaires that the doctors have filled in after completed training, we can see that there is a great interest in filling in the knowledge bank. As many as 85-95 percent believe that the educations have helped them in their clinical everyday life and over 90 percent would like to do more educations and recommend them to their colleagues. It is very fun to see and we look forward to continuing to develop new educations in more areas, says Sofia Åkerlund, leg. doctor and editor-in-chief of Praktisk Medicin.
In 2020, PraktiskMedicin.se launched its training platform in the rest of the Nordic region, and even there they see a great deal of interest and need for further training for healthcare staff. More Nordic educations are to be expected.
