Who is involved in my care?

Your overall care will be under the supervision of a consultant rheumatologist who will generally work within what is called a multi-disciplinary team which includes: rheumatology specialist nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapist, podiatrists and orthotists.

Others involved in your care are of course your GP and the practice nurse who may look after your regular blood monitoring. For further information you can order our Newly Diagnosed Guide by clicking here and please see the following articles below which we hope you will find of value.
