Rheumatology

The Rheumatology department provides a consultant-led service, assessing all types of rheumatological conditions.

We have expertise in the diagnosis and management of Rheumatoid and Psoriatic arthritis involving treatment with disease modifying drugs including biologic therapies.

We have experience with Systemic Lupus Erythematosis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Osteoporosis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Temporal Arteritis and other types of vasculitis.

We are happy to diagnose and manage soft tissue rheumatism.

We have access to CT, MRI and DEXA bone density scanning facilities on site (Croydon University hospital) and links with Physiotherapy at Croydon and Purley Hospitals.
