The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Guidance \u2018Rheumatoid Arthritis in Adults: management\u2019, updated in 2018, sets out best practice on the diagnosis, treatment, care support of people living with the condition. The guidance emphasises the need for early diagnosis, with urgent referral to a specialist rheumatologist on suspicion of rheumatoid arthritis. This is because treatment at an early stage can halt progression of disease.<\/p>
