Could anyone recommend good rheumatologist in Glasgow Area?

[Ann-1]

I would highly recommend Prof David Marshall at BMI Ross Hall Hospital Glasgow. Found him to be both charming and very thorough during my recent diagnosis of pmr.

Thank You for your advice,but is BMI not Private Health Care?

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Seagu11]

Almost every private consultant in the UK also has NHS lists or oversight. If you are lucky with a private rheumy, they will add you to their NHS list. But the NHS also occasionally (and increasingly) uses services bought from private hospitals (mainly for the beds/theatre space)

I didn't think you got the choice in Scotland?

I have had good care from Dr Murphy of NHS Lanarkshire - I think she works out of East Kilbride and Monklands, although I see her at a clinic in Stonehouse. I appreciate that she hasn't forced the pace on my steroid reduction plan - I am now down to 1 mg/day and have not had any yo-yoing because it has all been done at a sedate pace.
