Rheumy Suggestions

hello . Does anyone in Scotland have suggestions for a Rheumy that’s GCA aware ? I live very rurally but can travel to Glasgow (preferably) or Edinburgh at a push. The waiting time locally is horrendous so to my regret I am prepared to go privately, I have researched some Rhemies who do private consultations but not all of them list GCA…..many have PMR though !

thanks in advance,

Have you tried asking Lorna Neill of the Scottish charity? They very consciously keep that sort of recommendation off the helpline but Lorna is very involved with research and "stuff" above and beyond that so will know who is interested in that field.

Where-ish are you?
