Mr Chinoy is a very open and honest consultant. He carefully explains what he is doing and what he’s looking for during the stages of diagnosis. His adopts a most collaborative approach which has certainly allayed any anxiety I have experienced . This has put me in the position whereby I feel confident that he will establish the root cause of my health problems and work out the best plan of action. I don’t normally submit reviews, however I am so pleased with my choice of Specialist that I felt it necessary in order that others may benefit from an evaluation from the Professor. THANK YOU

Professor Hector Chinoy, I feel compelled to leave this review for, as he was simply outstanding in his care for me. His professionalism along with his calm demeanor, made me at ease throughout our consultations. He’s impeccably polite and speaks clearly, I left my consultations with him, with a clear understanding of my situation, he’s very approachable and all his findings from my various tests were explained in easy to understand detail. Along with his excellent secretary Gail, i highly recommend him, I haven’t a single negative comment to make.

Professor Hector Chinoy was on time, and very pleasant. He carefully listened to what I had to say, he was very thorough in the questions he asked. He explained everything to me in a way it was understood. From the bloods he had taken it shown up something completely different from what I had originally gone for and he kindly signposted me to have that area checked out by some other consultant expert in their field. I was very satisfied with the service and the outcome. Thank you

Professional profile
Professor Hector Chinoy is a Senior Clinical Lecturer and Consultant Rheumatologist. At Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, he looks after about 1,000 patients per year with a variety of musculoskeletal complaints as part of general rheumatology, specialist neuromuscular, combined psoriatic arthritis-psoriasis clinic, and in-patient work. He is also principal investigator on a number of clinical trials. Outside of the NHS, he has private consulting rooms at BMI Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle, and Spire OrthTeam Manchester Hospital, Didsbury, for both general and specialist conditions, on a Wednesday and Friday evening.

He is also employed by The University of Manchester, where he is actively involved with research and the education of medical students and doctors, and is Programme Director for the Clinical Rheumatology MSc Programme. Professor Chinoy has authored over 130 research articles in international peer-reviewed journals, has presented multiple research abstracts in national and international conferences, and is considered to be a global expert in inflammatory myopathy. He has edited an Oxford Rheumatology Library textbook on Myositis.
Professor Chinoy firmly believes in the importance of clear, open communication with patients and sufferers of musculoskeletal conditions. He sees a wide range of rheumatic diseases at Salford Royal and closely works alongside a multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses and podiatrists. Many rheumatic diseases cannot be cured, but accurate diagnosis and focused management/treatment can help significantly to improve pain, disability and quality of life.
On completing his medical degree at the University of Nottingham in 1996, Professor Chinoy carried out medical training in Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester. He trained in Rheumatology in the North West from 2001-2009. He completed an Arthritis Research UK Fellowship at The University of Manchester, and was awarded a PhD in 2007. In 2009 he became a Consultant Rheumatologist and in 2010 was awarded a Senior Clinical Lectureship in Rheumatology. He was awarded a Chair at The University of Manchester in 2019.
Research interests include immunogenetic risk factors and how these correlate with novel serological biomarkers and clinical outcomes. He is co-chair of UKMYONET, a national consortium which fosters collaborative research in inflammatory myopathy. Dr Chinoy is also chair of the Euromyositis Registry, a web-based consortium which collects standardised clinical data in over 20 countries. He is a reviewer for a number of peer-reviewed journals and an Associate Editor of BMC Rheumatology.
