Moving to Devon

[valmansell]

We're moving down to Exmouth from the Midlands. Has anyone any experiences of the care for RA patients in this area? I've had fantastic treatment here in Solihull for the past 27 years & I'm a little anxious what to expect when we move. Are we allowed to take our Rheumatologist & GP with us?

Hi Vanmansell, I live in Exeter and my rheumy is at the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital. They have a very good team. I have scleroderma on top of the RA and they consult with the experts in London. Small waiting times and good telephone access to rheumatology nurses. 👍🙂

Thanks so much for the information on the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital. It's good to know I'll be getting good care when we move down there. We still haven't sold our house yet but the bungalow we have set our heart on is still for sale in Exmouth. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Hi valmansell. No, I'm nowhere near Exmouth but I wish I was. I lived in Crediton, North of Exeter, for about 7 years and still miss it. Good luck with your move and hope you are happy in your new home. Hugs

Thanks Jan. Two of my old uni friends live in Crediton so we'll be able to see more of them when we move. Met them in Exeter when we were down there in July & had a lovely meal in the "Inn on the Exe". Can't wait to get there!

Jealous? Moi? Absolutely!

We are in Cornwall but OH is under the care of the Derriford (Plymouth) Hospital rheumatology department. I expect you'd be Exeter, but DM me if you want more info.
