    Patients with suspected inflammatory arthritis can now access rapid assessment and treatment thanks to a new ‘one-stop shop’ Early Arthritis Clinic at Bradford’s St Luke’s Hospital.

    The service, provided by Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, brings together a wide range of health professionals to offer a unique service which offers benefits to patients with symptoms of this painful and debilitating condition.

    Now, only three weeks after referral by their GP, patients who may have inflammatory arthritis can attend the clinic for assessment by a consultant, followed by same-day access to ultrasound, physiotherapy and specialist nurse drug counselling and education – meaning all tests can be done during one appointment.
