Highly experienced nursing staff, clinical nurse specialists, pain management specialists, dieticians and physiotherapists all contribute to our multidisciplinary approach. This translates into exceptional care and safety for our patients.

A comprehensive approach to care

The liver is one of the largest organs in the body and the only organ that can completely regenerate itself. 7 in 10 people with liver or pancreatic disease do not know they have a condition because for many, the first indication of a problem is when the disease is quite advanced as the early signs are often not obvious.

 

Watch our short video to learn more about the main symptoms that may indicate early onset of disease and how we can help.

 

Providing a second opinion

There are many reasons why you could be considering a second opinion, including you are not confident that the correct diagnosis has been made, you still have unanswered questions or your condition has returned following treatment. It's best to get a second opinion soon after a condition or problem is diagnosed but, even if you've already started treatment, it's not too late to get another opinion.
