The Diagnosis and Treatment Centre (DTC) seeks to provide the highest possible standard of both nursing and medical care.
Our mission and focus is to provide exceptional health care services. We will adopt a ‘holistic’ approach to care that acknowledges and respects an individual’s dignity, cultural and spiritual beliefs. Our dedicated trained professionals will deliver care that is tailored to each patient’s unique needs and preferences.
Whilst respecting confidentiality and autonomy, we will strive to ensure that all relevant information is afforded to both patients and their carers. This should encompass a ‘multi-disciplinary’ approach, in an environment that encourages appropriate, open discussion and clear explanation.
In order to maintain the highest possible standards of care, the management of the DTC recognise that it is necessary to maintain an environment conducive to learning across the multi-disciplinary team. All staff will adopt a professional approach to the delivery of care demanded by their respective professional bodies.
