I was first referred to Prof Chinoy over 2 years ago and over many appointments have found him a helpful and caring consultant, not afraid to take difficult decisions and respond quickly to problems. Perhaps initially he may have given a rather detached impression, but over time this has been amply dispelled. I am glad to have been under Prof Chinoy's care and can thoroughly recommend him.

I have a long history of Ankylosing Spondylitis further complicated by Psoriatic Arthritis the care received from Dr Chinoy and his team is outstanding
His close work with Physiotherapy allows me to make appointments through the Consultant Physiotherapist
I feel that if I need help the response is first class
I am fortunate to be a participating member of the Ank Spondylitis physio group meeting every 2 weeks this support group is a tremendous help we are able to share experiences good and bad with brilliant support from Will Gregory
you might want to look at the support structure for new patients and their knowledge of how to contact support services such as the Rhuematolgy Specialist Nurse

I have had Dr Chinoy as my rheumatoid doctor for many years.
I have every faith in him and trust him implicitly because he explains everything in plain language and is always ready to listen to my concerns about medications.
And will answer any questions in a full and comprehensive manner
I could not suggest he makes any changes to improve the way he treats people

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.
