It is important to keep growing your knowledge, to help yourself and the team around you. This can apply to most industries, especially healthcare. That is why we held an education evening recently for our healthcare staff (doctors, nurses, allied health, specialists, etc). During the evening, we nominated a few of our staff along with guest presenters to share their knowledge within their field with everybody. The human body is composed of so many different parts but all works as a whole, similar to our hardworking team. That’s why it’s important that everyone continues to build up their general knowledge of all the working parts while continuing to build their knowledge in their specialised field.
We had our new cardiologist, Dr Cheng Yee Goh, conduct a presentation on identifying heart conditions through ECG readings. You can read his article about cardiac stress tests here.
Our new consultant colorectal surgeon, Dr Thomas Suhardja, presented on bowel cancer awareness, treatment and building awareness for younger people. Thomas has written an article for us on Haemorrhoids here.
Our podiatrist, David Lee, displayed various methods of foot treatment and the anatomy of the feet.
We thank our special guest, Dr Marcus Robertson (Gastroenterologist) from Rosebud Endoscopy for joining us and presenting on ferritin and iron studies.
As we work more closely with each other, we all stand to increase communication and learn together, leading to improved patient outcomes. It’s so powerful to get together.
