“Developing a rheumatological condition is daunting; especially when pain, stiffness and fatigue takes over. Treatment is complex, but this app will help newly diagnosed patients as well as those who have had the condition for a while.

Rheumatology Connect gives patients all the information they need at their fingertips. It contains expert advice, frequently asked questions, medicine updates and contact details for the department.

We hope that this app will help patients manage their condition effectively and become the people they want or need to be.”

Dr Kirsten Mackay, Torbay Rheumatology Department.
