How we strive to be the best
- Continuing education is a vital element of providing the best diagnostic and treatment options for our patients. In addition to attending conferences, seminars and courses, we also carry out weekly journal clubs and inservices.
- Case conferencing is an invaluable tool in our striving to do the best for our patients. Knowledge is shared, experience drawn from and new ideas generated as we discuss the interesting, difficult or challenging cases that we see.
- Referral networks are an important part of providing a comprehensive service for our patients. We have a comprehensive network of specialists that we refer patients to as necessary, ensuring that the patient receives the best focussed advice available.
