The specialist clinics cover complex rheumatoid arthritis (using the latest anti-TNF drugs), osteoporosis (including premenopausal and male patients), joint injection and a combined-expert hand clinic (with the consultant hand surgeon) and a combined-expert shoulder clinic. Strong links were forged with the spinal surgery and pain management teams.

Dr Kaye Barrett trained junior rheumatology specialist doctors and was appointed Honorary Senior Lecturer at Imperial College School of Medicine in 1997. She completed her postgraduate specialist rheumatology training in West London, at St Mary’s, West Middlesex, Charing Cross and Hammersmith Hospitals, and the Chelsea and Westminster.
