About this talk

I spoke at the Klinik Segara GP Talk 2026 on how rheumatoid arthritis presents in general practice, why early recognition changes the long-term outcome, and how to refer without losing time. I also went through current treatment strategies and the practical side of managing pain while a diagnosis is being confirmed.

My session covered
  • Recognising the early joint patterns that point to rheumatoid arthritis
  • When and how to refer, so treatment is not delayed
  • Up-to-date treatment strategies, including when biologics come in
  • Practical approaches to pain management in primary care
