CALHN Our People podcast | Season 2 Episode 5 |
We speak with Dr Sam Whittle about the incredible transformation that has taken place in the last 20 years regarding medical care options for patients with inflammatory disease.
As a Senior Consultant Rheumatologist at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Sam says having the opportunity to better support patients over many years -- through teen years, adulthood, and into older age -- is one of the things he loves most about his job.
As Sam reveals in this episode, he works in all areas of rheumatology but is mainly focused on inflammatory arthritis, and other conditions involving persistent pain and fatigue in muscles and joints. Sam also tells us about an exciting approach known as 'living guidelines' to ensure patients benefit from the very latest in healthcare research.
