Dr Ashok Rai

I am a leading rheumatologist with over 25 years of experience helping people with bone and joint conditions feel better. I specialise in treating osteoporosis, arthritis, inflammatory conditions, connective tissue disorders and metabolic bone disease.

I provide treatment for a variety of bone and joint conditions, including inflammatory arthritis, gout, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, joint hypermobility syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, polymyalgia, Sjögren's syndrome and fibromyalgia.

I graduated from Birmingham Medical School in 1985 with a specialisation in Rheumatology. Since then, I have had the privilege of teaching undergraduates and trainees in Rheumatology and providing clinical supervision. I have participated in research studies on topics like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

I am also proud to be a University of Birmingham Medical School Senior Academy Tutor at the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust Undergraduate Academy and a visiting Professor at the University of Worcester.

In addition to my academic and research experience, I have spent several years managing and improving rheumatology services. I was the Clinical Director for the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust Rheumatology Department, where I worked closely with a multidisciplinary clinical team.

My goal is to help you feel better and enjoy life more fully, and I believe in taking a patient-centred approach to treatment. That means working with you to create a personalised plan that meets your unique needs and preferences. If you're struggling with bone or joint pain, don't suffer in silence.
