TACKLING WAITING LISTS IN RHEUMATOLOGY

Our experienced rheumatology clinicians provide tailored outpatient capacity to help NHS organisations reduce waiting-list pressures and improve access to specialist care.

Rheumatology pathways support patients with a broad range of inflammatory, autoimmune and musculoskeletal conditions, many of which require ongoing specialist review and treatment. Increasing demand can place pressure on both new-patient and follow-up capacity.

Agile Insourcing works in partnership with your existing teams to provide additional clinical capacity where it is needed most. Our services can target defined waiting-list cohorts or support wider outpatient pathways, while integrating with Trust systems, SOPs and clinical governance processes.

Patient-centred and clinically led, we can support patients from initial consultation and assessment through to treatment planning, review, ongoing management and appropriate discharge.

Clinical services can support areas including:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis 
  • Psoriatic arthritis 
  • Axial spondyloarthritis 
  • Connective tissue disease 
  • Lupus 
  • Vasculitis 
  • Polymyalgia rheumatica 
  • Gout and crystal arthritis 
  • General Rheumatology referrals

Depending on your challenges, our services can include:

  • New patient rheumatology clinics 
  • Follow-up and review clinics 
  • Referral validation and clinical triage 
  • Specialist assessment of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions 
  • Review of diagnostic investigations 
  • Treatment and medication reviews 
  • Ongoing condition monitoring 
  • Virtual consultations where clinically appropriate 
  • Patient-Initiated Follow-Up where locally agreed 
  • Onward referral or discharge in line with Trust pathways
