Overview.
Our rheumatology team treats inflammatory and degenerative conditions of the joints, bones and immune system. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis and other immune conditions enter a structured pathway combining consultant clinics, biologic infusion therapy and joint clinics with orthopaedics where surgical input is needed. Early diagnosis and treat-to-target principles guide every plan.
