Dr Richard Hull
Consultant Rheumatologist
MB ChB, FRCP, FRCPCH
I have been a consultant in the Portsmouth area since 1989, having trained in Birmingham, Aberdeen, the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital and Northwick Park Hospital, London.
I manage all forms of arthritis from inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis through to osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and hand, shoulder, knee and back problems.
I regularly do joint injections and other injections, as well as interpreting immunology tests, CT and MRI scans and assessing and managing osteoporosis. I compile medico-legal reports on instruction from solicitors and run the Wessex RCGP injection course for GP's. I also liaise closely with physiotherapists.
