About Stephanie Barrett

Dr Stephanie Barrett is a leading consultant in rheumatology, with extensive experience in treating a wide range of rheumatological conditions. As Medical Director of The London Rheumatology Centre and consultant at The London Clinic, she provides highly personalised care to patients. Dr Barrett is at the forefront of innovative treatment approaches, particularly in the use of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (PMS) to effectively manage chronic pain syndromes, including conditions like fibromyalgia.

Dr Barrett’s research, including her MD thesis, focused on systemic sclerosis and its impact on the small intestine, providing critical insights into early vasculopathy.

Dr Barrett has played a significant role in education, including organising global webinars on autoimmune and inflammatory diseases during the Covid-19 pandemic. Her work extends internationally, collaborating with fellow consultants and educational bodies like the Royal College of Physicians.
