Combining Knowledge
Specialist centres often combine well developed medical skills. In our case, a team of eight who could be said to be at the top of their profession. An incredible resource to have but needing to be used in the right way.
There should be no room for hierarchies as such, only for mutual achievement. Everyone has their job to do and specific knowledge to bring, which should be used to the advantage of our patients. They are the reason why teamwork counts.
Sharing knowledge is more helpful than feeling you should keep information to yourself. Even world leading professionals have knowledge gaps, we all do.
For All Patients
Unexpected circumstances, such as the coronavirus pandemic, demonstrate how much more effective a response can be through coming together.
The same applies for patients of all ages, whether into retirement, a young adult, or child. Children have a capacity to sense stability and support from a team who are working together.
Unseen issues shouldn’t be unseen and can often be revealed through dedicated knowledge, along with willingness to learn and to share.
Consulting with colleagues who will have come across unique medical situations, or had training in them makes sense. Whether through active involvement, or discussion, pooling knowledge creates a fine resource.
Our Clinic’s Approach
Many of our consultants have spent twenty years or more learning their profession and this doesn’t stop. Medicine develops, so the skills of those involved must keep pace with a changing world.
All our staff are encouraged to continue training and to discuss what they learn, to share fresh insight. During treatment, or treatment planning, the opinions of all are welcomed and respected.
This can help to bring ethical care. Above all, expanded knowledge helps to ensure the finest treatment for our patients and sound results.
An environment where all staff are valued means everyone is focused and relaxed, working in a place where they feel they belong. A good route to retain the finest staff and help patients respond to their treatment.
