I cannot thank my consultant physician and professor of practice enough. The thoroughly professional way my illness and care via the medications prescribed, care in explaining just what it was I was suffering from and how I was to deal with the side effects one can experience along the way has greatly assisted me.

Thanks to the hardworking staff of this department, I am now in a stable condition. Through the sheer perseverance of the rheumatology team, I am now on a course of medication which has helped tremendously in slowing the progress of this degenerative disease. This in turn has helped me to plan and manage my lifestyle accordingly. I am extremely grateful to the rheumatology team and the NHS.
