Rheumatology covers the treatment of medical disorders that affect the musculoskeletal system, particularly the joints and surrounding soft tissues.
Here at the Rheumatology Department, we offer a range of specialist clinics and also provide important pain management advice.
Please visit the 'Information zone' for further information about Rheumatology conditions, including patient education videos.
Please contact us if you have any queries. We are happy to help.
If you are a patient please consult your GP who will refer you if appropriate.
A strict appointment system operates and referrals are prioritised on clinical need based on the information supplied by the referring medical practitioner.
