Just a quick post to praise the team at Chapel Allerton Hospital. I have suffered now for years with finger ulcers but with expert care from everyone there. I have not had a finger ulcer for over a year now.

I used to attend Chapel All as well could not agree with you more, I presume you re talking about the team headed by Begonia at the ulcer clinic. I have now moved west of the Pennines and although the team at Salford are brilliant they do not have an ulcer clinic.

Yes I am. I was going to Salford back in 2009. But although they were good they never treated you as human. Just a number. Hope you don't find this and get the expert care from them.

That's very helpful. I attend Chap All, but haven't been referred to that specific clinic. The Raynaud's is getting worse. This is heartening.

Hi, I attend Chapel Allerton every 3 months, and find the team, (I am under the care of Dr Buch) wonderful. They listen to me, and answer all my questions so I can understand what is happening with my condition.
