Supporting your practice
Once you have been approved by the Medical Advisory Committee, we’ll invite you back to the hospital to meet with the General Manager/Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing and to discuss any requirements to configure the equipment or operating theatres to suit your procedures.
Our goal is to ensure every aspect of your practice management and patient care is seamless.
