Lupus specialist for referral please

[Dtj131]

Hello please could anyone tell me 2 where I could find a lupus specialist near me to be referred to. I live in Bury, in the N West?

I've been really ill and am fed up with being fobbed off and passed around. I need to get this sorted, I'm a main career for my daughter and am getting really down with it all.

Hi, professor Bruce at Manchester Royal infirmary is a lupus specialist and runs a dedicated lupus clinic each week.

He is utterly amazing

Hi there, I just read your text. Really sorry to hear you very fed up and feeling poorly. Have you been diagnosed with Lupus yet ? I am sure that you could find a Rheumy in Manchester if you already have. Also, I grew up in Bury and have very fond memories of the place. Bet its changed a lot since I was there last. Take care

I was diagnosed then told I didn't from a blood test, then just had a bad episode and am sure it is lupus. So need to get back into the system. I'm waiting for a referral. Hope your well

Hi Dtj131 ,

The Kellgren Centre for Rheumatology at the Manchester Royal Infirmary is a LUPUS UK Centre of Excellence and I would recommend that you request a referral there if you are able to get to it. You can read more at lupusuk.org.uk/centres-of-e...

Thank you for that I'm still waiting for my referral to go through. Just had more blood taken, so we'll see how long it takes
