For patients with difficult disease he has over 15 years' experience in the use of the 'biological' treatments for arthritis conditions. His clinics are held weekly in Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and Bedford.

The Dexa scanning service he leads reports over 2000 patient scans per year, almost all of these for the local NHS but private scans can be requested.

Dr O'Reilly was also an investigator in national and international studies in Rheumatoid, Psoriatic and Osteoarthritis.
