The establishment of centres of excellence to provide specialist patient services and treatment in a range of medical conditions has long been a key objective at Epworth HealthCare.
The centres include clinical forums for senior medical and nursing practitioners who are committed to providing the very latest in treatment modalities in specialist areas such as cardiac, vascular, neurosurgery and orthopaedics.
Regular clinical meetings involve key support diagnosticians to discuss current cases and techniques used to correct complex medical problems.
As well, medical specialists involved in the centres of excellence contribute significantly to the education of nurses, undergraduate medical students, young doctors who have recently graduated, and to the continuing education programs of General Practitioners.
Research and practical patient information, both before admission and post-operatively, are also important responsibilities of those involved in Epworth HealthCare’s centres of excellence.
