Professor Bruce Kidd

Professor Kidd is a consultant rheumatologist and also professor of clinical rheumatology at Barts & The London School of Medicine & Dentistry. He has a special interest in chronic musculoskeletal pain and assists patients with symptoms arising from spinal disorders, inflammatory arthritis and soft tissue disorders.

His research into pain mechanisms in the rheumatological diseases, as well as the early diagnosis and management of inflammatory spinal disorders are internationally recognized. He has a lifelong interest in medical education for doctors, allied health professionals as well as members of the public.
