Why Online Rheumatology Is Needed in Ireland Right Now
Rheumatology remains one of the most pressured specialties on Ireland's public waiting lists. As of August 2026, over 1,400 patients are awaiting rheumatology treatment in Cork hospitals alone, with nearly 90% of them not yet even given an appointment date. The government's 2026 Waiting Time Action Plan aims to bring access in line with Sláintecare's 10-week targets, but performance has been hampered by seasonal surges in demand — and the HSE has itself begun procuring outpatient teleconsultation services in rheumatology specifically to help address these waiting lists.
Rheumatic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, and osteoarthritis typically require ongoing follow-up — medication adjustment, monitoring response to treatment — which adapts well to remote consultation, even where initial diagnosis or more complex assessment may still require an in-person visit.
Online rheumatology is one real way to help close this gap — and you can be part of it.
