Dr Jadon leads psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and IBD-spondyloarthritis (SpA) services and co-leads the inflammatory back pain (ankylosing spondylitis) service.
Having grown up in Cardiff, he completed his medical degree at Cardiff University (2003). He undertook his specialist training in rheumatology and general medicine in Bath and Bristol (2008-2015). Follow this he completed a higher degree (PhD) at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath, writing his thesis on ‘biomarkers of psoriatic arthritis phenotypes' (2015).
Dr Jadon has particular expertise in the investigation and management of back/neck pain, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and arthritis related to the gut (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis). He also uses musculoskeletal ultrasound to improve diagnostics and disease assessment.
As Director of the Rheumatology Research Unit at Cambridge University Hospitals, he leads on clinical trials of novel medications for rheumatological disorders (>14 studies at present). He gives medical talks on these diseases at international and national conferences, publishes academic research papers, medical textbook chapters, and contributes to several international guidelines on the management of psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
The main principles of Dr Jadon's practice are to:
- spend time listening carefully to his patients so that he deeply understands their symptoms, needs and impact on their life.
- thoroughly examine his patients, thinking beyond just their arthritis.
- apply established and novel imaging and laboratory tests to better clarify his patients' disease.
- safely use established and cutting-edge treatments for his patients, using his knowledge from being Director of the Rheumatology Research Unit.
