The rheumatology department at the North Mid offers a friendly, patient-centred, comprehensive rheumatology service. We have a team of three consultants, two registrars and two clinical nurse specialists as well as a specialist physiotherapist.
We aim to offer a high quality, patient responsive service to our local patients.
Although we are busy department, we never forget to listen to our patients and prioritise their care above all else.
We treat any rheumatic or musclosketal condition that proves a challenge to our hard-working local GPs or other hospital doctor colleagues.
We specialise in the below conditions:
We have specialist clinics for the above conditions in particular, but also provide a holistic service for patients with any musculoskeletal disorder.
We aim to maintain continuity of care, making every effort to see you personally on each clinic visit, rather than seeing a new doctor or nurse on each visit.
Kindly ensure you follow the Trust’s COVID prevention guidelines. Kindly bring your appointment letter and a written list of your medications to every appointment.
We may carry out a telephone consultation with you initially and organise any diagnostic tests at this point.
