Our specialist outpatient clinics operate daily at the Medicine Clinic at Medical Centre (Level 13). Patients receive support from our experienced nurse educators, clinic nurses and allied health staff. We also offer the following specialised services:
1. Immunotherapeutics Clinic
A pharmacist-led clinic monitoring patients on medications for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Medications include conventional antirheumatic drugs like methotrexate and azathioprine, as well as newer biologic therapies such as monoclonal antibodies. Our trained pharmacists closely monitor potential side effects and perform dose adjustment to optimise treatment efficacy for every patient.
2. Gout Telemedicine Virtual Monitoring Clinic (VMC)
A pharmacist-led clinic providing virtual care for patients with gout, enabling remote monitoring and medication delivery. Blood tests may be arranged at the hospital or at the patient’s nearest polyclinic, with medication delivered to the patient’s doorstep after consultation.
Allergy Clinic
Dedicated to the assessment of various allergies and atopic disorders, the clinic offers comprehensive allergy testing and evaluations, including immunotherapy for drug allergies.
Osteoporosis Clinic
Focusing on patients with complicated osteoporosis or fragility fractures, the clinic provides comprehensive assessments and treatments.
Connective Tissue Disease/Interstitial Lung Disease (CTD/ILD) Clinic
This clinic specialises in care for patients with connective tissue diseases and interstitial lung disease, in collaboration with ILD respiratory physicians. Services include nailfold capillaroscopy.
Our division is one of three accredited sites for Rheumatology specialty training in Singapore. We offer clinical fellowships to aspiring rheumatologists in the Asia Pacific region.
NUHS Internal Medicine Residents are also given the opportunity to run supervised Rheumatology outpatient clinics, as well as gain experience in inpatient clinical services.
The Division of Rheumatology ad Allergy is actively involved in both clinical and basic science research, particularly in inflammatory arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. We participate in multiple clinical drug trials and clinical databases such as the Asia Pacific Lupus Collaboration (APLC), Singapore National Biologics Registry (SNBR), and others. Ongoing initiatives focus on quality improvement and value-driven outcomes in inflammatory arthritis and gout. The division is also the clinical lead for the National University of Singapore-Cambridge Cell Phenotyping Centre.
