Anyone under UCLH Rheumatology dept?

Good evening to you all!

Been a coulple of months since my last post re husband and his RA but things are still no better 😔

His last appt with the rheumatology resulted in him being put on the highest dose of MTX. If this still doesn't help they'll be adding Sulfasalazine.

Just being doing some research on rheumatology departments and was wondering if anyone is under UCLH?

I just feel like we've spent so long messing around with getting meds right (and failing miserably...literally) and controlling the disease (we're a year and a half down the line with no improvement) that we're looking to see what else we can do. Also his current rheumatology team messed up his appointments and failed to schedule a follow up so it was only when he called to say the pain is unbearable that they realised the error. I'm not one for most in about the NHS, they are massively overstretched but I have to say the experience we've had since diagnosis has been pretty poor.

UCLH seems to have good 'reviews' so was wondering if the OH can be seen there.
