The Ash Surgery has a dedicated team consisting of a GP, practice nurse and healthcare assistant, who provide monitoring for patients who are on Disease Modifying Drugs (DMARDs) such as; Methotrexate and Sulfasalazine etc for Rheumatoid Arthritis. The patients who have been taking these drugs for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or for any other conditions are eligible to join this clinic for regular blood test monitoring. We communicate regularly with the hospital rheumatology team if we have any concerns about patient’s condition, medications or blood results. All patients continue to attend their routine appointments with consultants for review of their arthritis.
