The Rheumatology Department cares for patients with a wide range of rheumatic/inflammatory diseases and conditions (not just rheumatoid arthritis). The Rheumatology Physiotherapy Team is based on the Planned Short Stay Unit (PSSU). In this team, physiotherapists assess all inpatients and offer them advice on the management of their condition and treatment. Treatment often involves exercise programmes, including hydrotherapy (exercise in water) if appropriate.
