Paediatric Rheumatology is a speciality in which there is a rapidly growing body of knowledge. This is due to research being undertaken.
The Paediatric Rheumatology department in Leeds is proud to be able to offer participation in a majority of relevant research studies and registries which are currently open in the UK.
There are ongoing studies in all the major inflammatory conditions we look after and we aim to offer all eligible children and young people the opportunity to consent to enrolling in a research project or registry.
