Who we are and where to find us

Our aim is to help you self-manage your Rheumatological conditions whenever possible through telephone provision of specialist information and support. This support includes advice on disease management, administration of medication, side effects and flare management. 

The advice line is open Monday to Friday between 10am and 12pm and between 2pm and 4pm when a member of our admin team can take relevant details and direct your question to the rheumatology team. You may then be booked into a telephone clinic slot with one of our specialist nurses to call you back at a later time.
