Education is Power. Associate Professor Thakkar will clearly explain your condition and develop a personalised treatment plan. At a time when getting the correct information is so important, he recommends the websites of Arthritis Australia and The Australian Rheumatology Association that contains patient education leaflets about various conditions and medications. This can also consolidate your understanding and encourage any questions that you or your family might have. It’s definitely worth checking out!
