We are a large Outpatients Dept. based at both the Royal Sussex County Hospital (RSCH) and the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH). 

Rheumatology services are also run from the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital.

The department deals with patients with Rheumatological problems. These are chronic ongoing Inflammatory diseases and therefore patients are seen, diagnosed and treated on a long term basis.

Useful web links

Arthritis Researck UK

National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society 
NASS is the only UK charity dedicated to helping those affected by AS. By providing individual support and information we aim to educate those affected as well as their families about the best ways of managing their condition. Having our link posted on your page could give patients an invaluable resource in being able to talk to other members on the forums and give them access to regular supervised physiotherapy and hydrotherapy sessions through our network of branches around the UK. We also support research into the genetics, treatment and care for people with AS.
