Rheumatology
Rheumatology is the branch of general medicine concerned with the development, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the joints, bones, muscles and connective tissue.
We offer outpatient clinics with Consultant Rheumatologists, supported by our Diagnostic Service for x-ray, ultrasound and MRI scanning. Your consultant also has access to other specialists within the hospital including our Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons, Physiotherapists and Radiologists, to work with and refer to as appropriate.
