Meet the specialists

Many of the consultants  at The London Lupus Centre have global reputations for their pioneering research into rheumatic diseases, lupus and lupus-related conditions. Founded by Professor Graham Hughes, who discovered some lupus patients’ increased tendency to blood clotting (now known as Hughes’ Syndrome).

​

The London Lupus Centre is supported by a wider multidisciplinary team of dermatologists, cardiologists, obstetricians, kidney specialists, orthopaedic consultants, radiologists and clinical nurse specialists.
