Specialist Services Medical Group, Richmond, NSW

We have created a model of specialist healthcare that is a caring environment where excellence in patient care will always be the focus. The aim is to have facilities and groups of specialists that can work together to offer co-ordinated management of medical conditions.

An example of this integrated specialist care is our model for the treatment of breast cancer. A lady with a suspicious lump can be referred to a specialist at one of our centres and have the diagnostic testing necessary, consult with a surgeon, a radiation oncologist and a medical oncologist all at the one site and have her whole treatment planned and centrally co-ordinated. Gone are the days of having to see multiple specialists at multiple venues with no overall co-ordination of care delivery.

This is the model of care we are bringing to all diseases with the primary aim of easing the stress and inconvenience that accompanies "old style" specialist care.
