Dr Anshuman Malaviya

Dr Anshuman Malaviya is a Consultant Rheumatologist and is Clinical Lead of the rheumatology department at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge. He specialises in the diagnosis and management of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, cancer immunotherapy-associated arthritis and manages patients with osteoporosis, vasculitis, fibromyalgia, and lupus.

Dr Malaviya qualified in 1998. Having done an MD and trained in general medicine as a junior doctor, he went on to do specialist training in rheumatology in the East of England. During this time, he spent 2 years in Cambridge and gained considerable clinical trial experience. He completed his specialist training in rheumatology and general medicine in 2012. He subsequently became a substantive NHS consultant at Mid Essex Hospital Trust in Chelmsford in 2012. Since 2017 he has been a consultant rheumatologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where in addition to general clinics he also runs an Early Arthritis Clinic.

Dr Malaviya has gained considerable clinical experience during his time as a consultant, managing complex musculoskeletal disease and has developed an appreciation of the psychosocial impact chronic disease and pain has on the lives of both patients and their families. There is growing evidence that many autoimmune diseases present in clusters across various body systems such as the gut, the spine and the joints. Therefore, he takes a holistic approach - taking into account the body as a whole - when making his diagnoses and offering treatments. He strongly believes that appropriate early intervention can prevent long term chronic disease and disability.

Dr Malaviya is currently Clinical Lead of the Department of Rheumatology at Addenbrooke's Hospital. Over his career, he has won various awards including the Clinical Excellence Award Trust in 2014 and his rheumatology research team in Chelmsford won the CLRN Award for Best Research Team.  He also routinely publishes in peer-reviewed journals.
