It consists of two rheumatology specialists with specific training in paediatric rheumatology disorders, Dr Estefanía Moreno Ruzafa and Dr Mireia López Corbeto, a specialist in Paediatrics with specific training in paediatric rheumatology, Dr Laia Martínez Mitjana, and a nurse specialising in rheumatic disorders in children, Julia Vivancos Pons.
The Paediatric Rheumatology Unit has always been a centre of reference within our Rheumatology Department. We have a close relationship with other paediatric units with the aim of setting up common strategies for diagnosing, treating and monitoring our patients.
