It is with profound sadness that Psoriasis Canada shares the news of the passing of Dr. Wayne Gulliver.

Dr. Gulliver was a true pioneer in dermatology — a compassionate physician, a tireless advocate for people living with psoriatic disease, and a leader in advancing research and treatments for skin conditions. His impact extended across Canada and beyond, improving care and offering hope to countless patients.

He was also a cherished friend to Psoriasis Canada and played a pivotal role in establishing the Canadian Psoriasis Network, one of our founding organizations.

Dr. Gulliver’s contributions have left a lasting legacy in dermatology and in the lives of those he so deeply cared for.

We offer our deepest condolences to his family, colleagues, and everyone whose lives he touched. His memory will continue to guide and inspire efforts to improve the lives of people living with psoriasis and other skin conditions. 🕊️

We are all saddened by the news of this terrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Dr Gulliver’s family, friends and many close patients. For many of us he will be remembered mostly for his research in the genetics of psoriasis. His hard work and dedication has improved the lives of so many suffers of this disease. He was also a beautiful person who cared deeply about his family and his many patients through the years. He will be sorely missed.

CANADIAN DERMATOLOGY ASSOCIATION LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD PRESENTED TO NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR DERMATOLOGIST

Dr. Wayne Gulliver was recently presented with the Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) Lifetime Achievement Award for his commitment to Dermatology. He is the first Dermatologist from Newfoundland and Labrador to be honoured with this award.
This award honours a CDA member and certified Dermatologist who have made a significant and lasting impact in the field of dermatology through their professional accomplishments as a long standing member and who have earned the respect and admiration of their professional colleagues.
Dr. Wayne Gulliver began practicing in his home province of Newfoundland and Labrador more than 30 years ago and continued the pioneering work of Dr. Joan Hogan to transform the province’s Dermatology service into one that is diverse and leading edge. Dr. Gulliver’s continued advocacy to increase access to dermatology care in rural areas has enhanced the quality of healthcare for all people of the province. Dr. Gulliver’s contributions also extend into research and clinical expertise on a global scale. With over 250 clinical trials and nearly as many publications, he was the first Canadian to receive the Albert Neisser Lectureship for his ground breaking research in Hidradenitis Suppurativa. He has also made novel contributions to areas that include genetics, psoriasis epidemiology and therapeutics. Dr. Gulliver has also shown national leadership as vice-president and as chair of the 1997 CDA annual conference in St. John’s, NL and as a member of the organizing committee for the 2015 World Congress of Dermatology held in Vancouver, BC.
