Dr Emma Davies

MBChB, MSc, MRCP (Rheumatology)

Training:

I qualified from The University of Sheffild in 2009 and remained in the South Yorkshire deanery to complete my foundation and core medical training. I took a year out to persue a full time MSc in Sports and Exercise medicine and gained experieince working with amature and elite athletes early on in my career.

My interest in musculosekeltal medicine led me to a career in rheumatology.  I moved to the South West to undertake my specialist training in rheumatology and general internal medicine within the Severn deanery, working in Bristol and at the the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath.

I finished my rheumatology and general medicine training in 2022 and took up my consultant post at Bristol  Royal Infirmary.

Areas of interest:

I am a general rheumatologist with a particular interest in connective tissue diseases and vasculitis.  I am independently proficient in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, which I use routinely as part of the Early Inflammatory Arthritis service at UHBW. I also run a combined clinic with orthoaedics for patients with complex foot and ankle problems.

I am interested in clinical governance and audit. I am a QSIR (Quality, Service Improvement and Re-Design) practitioner and I am the clinical governance and audit lead for the department.  I am involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and organise our local postgraduate (departmental) teaching.
