Hello, I have aps and lupus like symptoms, my local rheumy isn't tremendous. Lol

Anyway, I've been recommended a professor Bruce, at Manchester Royal infirmary

But the gp secretary can't find him on the system.

Can someone confirm he is still there and accepting patients please?

I've phoned but it's answer machines

Thanks for your help

Doesn't appear he has moved, and getting that link was hardly difficult.

Try the email address and see what happens.

I see Prof Bruce at Manchester Royal Infirmary. I had my first apt last Oct. He was brilliant. Fight for your referral to him :)

Hi Paula,

Sorry to hear that you've been having trouble getting a diagnosis. Did the Rheumatologist offer any other solutions? Do you have any further appointments booked?
