Rheumatology deals with the investigation, diagnosis and management of more than 200 rheumatic musculoskeletal disorders (RMDs) affecting joints, bones, muscles and soft tissues.
Dr Tim Littlewood, haematology consultant at Oxford Radcliffe NHS Trust, shares his experience of what influenced him in choosing haematology, what training involves, and what it is like working in the specialty.
Haematology is the specialty responsible for the diagnosis and management of a wide range of benign and malignant disorders of the red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and the coagulation system in adults and children.
