Advice please! My doctor has referred me to Rheumatology at Winchester Hospital in Hampshire although I would have preferred Southampton General. Does anyone on here have any experience of either hospital. Having read all your posts, I gather that not all Rheumatologists are up to speed with PMR.

Hi ,
Have experience of both - but unfortunately not the Rheumatology Depts! !
Dr Gairluc at Winchester is brilliant as are the rheumy nurses
Thanks, Pat
Hi I live midway but generally go to Winchester, although I have not seen rhummy there.
I paid privately to see a Professor Edwards, at the Nuffield hospital in Chandler ford, a colleague of mine recommended him, as she also has PMR.
He was excellent . I believe he also has his own clinic under the NHS.
Good luck
