Meet the
Clinical
Care team

At your clinic appointment you will meet one of our medical doctors or consultants. Our consultants, Prof Chiara Marini-Bettolo, Prof Michela Guglieri, Prof Volker Straub, Prof Jordi Diaz Manera, Professor Giogio Tasca, Dr Maha El Seed and Dr Lizzie Harris, are specialised in inherited neuromuscular diseases but each with specific areas of expertise and interest. 

We have a number of Trust doctors and doctors in training or clinical fellows in the team who you may meet at your appointment. Many of these doctors are on their way to becoming neuromuscular specialists in their own right, and will become the experts of the future, but we appreciate that seeing different members of the clinical team may not be the preferred approach for some patients.

All doctors have access to a senior member of staff to discuss any concerns, next steps and management, and although you may find yourself meeting different team members at different appointments be assured that there is regular discussion of diagnostic investigations and management concerns amongst the whole team.
