Rheumatology
What we do
At both Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital we diagnose and manage inflammatory conditions which cause painful joints and muscles. We have close links with Orthopaedics, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Podiatry, Plastic Surgery and other departments, to help make things as streamlined as possible for patients.
Conditions we treat include:
- Early inflammatory, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Crystal arthritis including gout
- Auto-immune connective tissue diseases such as lupus
- Vasculitis
- Polymyalgia rheumatic
- Osteoporosis
We offer a variety of services including general and specialist clinics (for inflammatory arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, auto-immune connective tissue disorders, osteoporosis, drug monitoring). There is a fracture liaison service at both sites.
