Rheumatology
Rheumatology is a medical specialty that cares for conditions which affect the musculoskeletal system, particularly the joints and surrounding soft tissues.
We look after patients with inflammatory arthritis, connective tissue diseases such as Lupus, Osteoporosis, Vasculitis, Osteoarthritis and soft tissue rheumatic complaints.
Many of the conditions treated are linked with the immune system attacking different body tissues.
Rheumatology Advice Line
We offer a telephone and email advice service for patients who are under the care of a Rheumatology Consultant in the Northern Trust who have been diagnosed with an inflammatory condition.
The advice service is run by trained nurses who specialise in Rheumatology. If you need urgent advice, or advice not related to your rheumatology condition, you should contact your GP.
