Overview
Rheumatological conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout frequently affect the feet and ankles, causing pain, swelling, deformity, and significant impact on mobility. This is Joe’s primary NHS specialism — not an add-on service, but the clinical area he spent over a decade specialising in at Band 7 level.
Joe’s NHS Experience in This Area
Joe spent over 10 years as a Band 7 Rheumatology Specialist Podiatrist within the NHS, managing the full spectrum of rheumatological presentations affecting the foot and ankle. He has extensive experience in multidisciplinary team working and can liaise with your rheumatology team where appropriate.
