About Dr. Katherine Irving

Dr Katherine Irving is a Consultant Rheumatologist with extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of a wide range of rheumatological and musculoskeletal conditions. She graduated in medicine in 1996 and completed specialist training in both General (Internal) Medicine and Rheumatology in London. She has been practising as a Consultant Rheumatologist since 2008.

Dr Irving works at King’s College Hospital, London, and also sees patients privately at Nuffield Health  Highgate Hospital and at The Guthrie Clinic, King's College Hospital. Her clinical expertise spans the full spectrum of general rheumatology, including inflammatory arthritis, connective tissue diseases, and acute rheumatological presentations. She has a particular interest in early inflammatory arthritis, where prompt diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference to long-term outcomes.

She also has a specialist interest in fibromyalgia, complexity, and the psychological aspects of living with long-term rheumatological and pain conditions. Dr Irving was a lead consultant in the award-winning Guy’s multidisciplinary fibromyalgia service and continues to work closely within multidisciplinary teams to deliver highly individualised, patient-centred care for people with complex pain and rheumatological disorders.

Dr Irving is brilliant! She listens carefully, gives expert advice, ensures all the necessary tests and treatments are implemented, and treats you like an adult. I feel so grateful that she is my Consultant. Much to my surprise, at gone 5.30pm I was also able to get my bloods taken and have a chest xray, to avoid having to trek up to the hospital another time. Well done Kings. And the building is air conditioned! (I attended on one of the 32 degrees days.)

My medical experience with Dr Irving was an excellent type of consultation that a patient requires when faced urgently with an unknown ( for me ) symptoms of a diagnosis that was both unexpected & complicated to be explained. She was extremely supportive & helpful to clarify my symptoms & offer help for a better diagnosis & treatment of my illness. I am truly grateful & appreciative of her knowledge, expertise & time spent in my consultation with me. Many Thanks!

Dr. Katherine has been incredibly helpful and attentive to my fibromyalgia diagnosis. She takes a holistic approach to managing my chronic illness and truly takes the time to understand what I'm going through, rather than simply prescribing medication without listening, something I unfortunately experienced with other rheumatologists in the past. Best of all she is giving me the hope that I can get better, which I very much needed.
