Welcome

I am a Consultant Rheumatologist & Physician at Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust having completed my Rheumatology & Internal Medicine speciality training in the East of England in 2013.

I undertook my junior doctor training in Swansea. Having obtained membership of Royal College of Physicians London (MRCP) in March 2007, I commenced higher specialist training in Rheumatology & General Medicine before joining Addenbrooke’s Hospital Cambridge to pursue clinical research in 2010. Same year, I achieved MRCP in Rheumatology too. I finished research in 2012 and joined Luton & Dunstable University Hospital as a final year registrar until was appointed in the current role. I was awarded Fellowship of Royal College of Physicians London in 2018 and appointed as Director of Research & Development in 2019. I was also elected to the prestigious Registers committee of national British Society of Rheumatology in 2019.

I am the lead clinician for award winning early arthritis service, research on biologic therapies and inflammatory arthritis associated lung diseases MDT service. I have been involved in more than 80 clinical trials utilising biological therapies for autoimmune conditions. My other main interests include early inflammatory arthritis including ultrasound use and metabolic bone health.

During my appointment Doctor Nisar was very professional and competent. He asked me about my symptoms and listened carefully, asking further questions where necessary. Dr Nisar clearly explained to me the potential causes for my issue and the action plan to identify the actual cause and resolve/manage it.

Dr Nisar was absolutely outstanding and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and was initially petrified but he was so reassuring and pin pointed the diagnosis very sufficiently!

Dr Muhammad Nisae listened to my concerns politely and answers each every one of them. Considering how terrible doctors treat you when gp through NHS I had a nice time at Manor Hospital and being seen by Dr Nisar.

It was really good to speak to a doctor who listened to me, as well as giving me advice and a diagnosis, and prescriptions which are really helping. I had a blood test 2 weeks ago, and I shall be seeing Dr Nisar tomorrow for the results.
