Does this sound familiar?
✅ Pain or stiffness — especially in the mornings
✅ Fatigue that doesn't improve with rest
✅ Swollen or tender joints
✅ Test results that come back "normal" but you still feel unwell
Who we see
If any of these apply to you, RheumaMed is the right next step.
✅ Patients referred by a GP for specialist assessment
✅ People living with arthritis, lupus, or an autoimmune condition
✅ Patients who've been told their results are normal — but still feel unwell

What we do differently
A full clinical assessment, the right investigations and a treatment plan built around your life.
✅ One specialist who knows your case
