Advancing Knowledge. Improving Care.

IPC Rapid Communications

TIMELY INSIGHTS FROM GLOBAL PSORIASIS EXPERTS

The IPC Rapid Communications initiative aims to deliver concise, expert perspectives on emerging developments in psoriasis research, clinical practice, and health policy. Each publication highlights urgent or important issues where swift dissemination of expert insights can inform and improve patient care worldwide.

Why Rapid Communications

New discoveries, therapies, and data in psoriasis care evolve quickly—and clinicians need access to expert interpretation as soon as possible.

Rapid Communications allow IPC experts to respond to new evidence or pressing issues in real time, bridging the gap between guideline updates and helping practitioners stay current with global best practices.

What They Are

Each Rapid Communication is a short, focused publication, typically under 500 words with up to five references, developed by IPC experts. Up to four are released annually and may take the form of expert commentaries, white papers, or position statements.

Selected manuscripts are fast-tracked for publication in peer-reviewed journals or shared on the IPC website to ensure timely global access.

How Ideas and Authors Are Selected

Ideas are solicited annually from IPC members, Corporate Partners, and patient partner organizations. Submissions are evaluated by the IPC Editorial Committee based on:

  • Clinical relevance and global impact
  • Frequency of similar ideas
  • Novelty and urgency
  • Alignment with IPC’s strategic priorities

Authors are chosen from among those who proposed the idea with attention to expertise and geographic diversity. While IPC aims to include idea contributors whenever possible, participation as an author is not guaranteed. Each manuscript undergoes a structured review and approval by the IPC Board of Directors before publication.

  • Dosing
  • Early Intervention
The IPC Rapid Communications series reflects IPC’s commitment to accelerating the exchange of knowledge and improving global standards of psoriasis care.

Look Beyond My Skin: World Psoriasis Day 2026

World Psoriasis Day, observed each year on October 29, was launched by the International Federation of Psoriasis Associations (IFPA) in 2004 to give a voice to the more than 125 million people worldwide living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. To mark this year’s observance, IPC joined the Latin American Society of Psoriasis and Dermoimmunology (SOLAPSO) and the Skin Inflammation and Psoriasis International Network (SPIN) to create a video series around the theme “Look Beyond My Skin,” featuring voices from all three organizations. Missed the videos on social media? Watch the full series on the IPC YouTube channel.

Take Two with IPC gives a longer presentation a second life in two minutes. Each video takes an expert talk IPC has already published (a Take Ten recording or a symposium presentation) and condenses the clinical substance.

New Take Two videos will be featured each month, drawn from the Take Ten with IPC library and recordings from IPC symposia, with a link to the full presentation for each.
