Lupus Care in/around Cheshire/ Manchester

[DebbieJ6894]

Hi, we plan to move next year to be nearer to our daughter in Wilmslow and as I have lupus I'm wondering about the hospital referral system in the region. We haven't decided exactly where to move and one of the considerations will be hospital referrals. I see that Lupus UK have the Kellgren Centre at Manchester Royal Infirmary as one of their centres of excellence for treatment - could anybody advise me as to which areas they take referrals from?

Many thanks

I live in Macclesfield and asked my GP if I could use this service. It was agreed and is an excellent service. Some GPs have very little knowledge of SLE, it was a fellow suffer who advised that I go to the Kellgren Centre as Lupus can be very complex and have many crossover confusing symptoms.

Thank you - Macclesfield is one the areas we've thought of so this is reassuring.

I live in Bollington and it’s a lovely place to live.

Thanks! We did see Bollington when we visited and it looked lovely!
