HELLO AND WELCOME TO SPATTRO
"Medical knowledge has been expanding exponentially, doubling time was 50 years in 1950, accelerated to 3.5 years in 2010, and only 73 days in 2020"
SPECIALITY v SUBSPECIALITY v NICHE ?
It is now impossible for a clinician to master all aspects of his speciality
Medical specialists have therefore taken subspecialisation as a way of narrowing the area they need to master allowing them to deliver better care for their patients.
With better diagnostic modalities, better understanding of basic science, genetics and biomechanics, and improvement in biomaterials and manufacturing techniques, there are new treatment modalities, new surgical techniques, and new rehabilitation protocols, introduced
every day.
The only clinicians able to stay up-to-date with the latest development and to pick from these new modalities what best suits their patients, are those who have focused on a small niche within their subspeciality and kept developing themselves in it.
THE RIGHT CARE MATTERS
How much does it cost NOT to see the right specialist ?
These are some of the problems that you can face if you see the wrong specialist:
Less understanding of the nature of your problem
Less options of treatment, particularly newer modalities
Increased cost on unnecessary investigations
Slower recovery
Extended time off work or before you can go back to normal life
Higher rate of complications
Less overall satisfaction
" Highly specialised consultants work with highly trained teams of Allied Healthcare Professionals to help them with the pre and post operative care of their patients "
THE PROBLEM
In a survey that we conducted, here is how patients find a consultant to treat them:
Recommendations from family doctor or GP
With the vast expansion in medical fields it is very difficult for GPs to know who is an expert in what. Most GPs send unnamed referrals to the nearest hospital.
Booking through your nearest hospital
Not all consultants practice at all hospitals and many subspeciality niches are completely missing in some hospitals.
Recommendations from insurance company
Insurance companies are greatly biased with which consultants are fee assured and which are not, and they direct referrals based on that.
Friends and family
Well, it is unlikely that any of your friends and family have the knowledge of who is expert in what, even if they have been treated successfully.
Researching the internet
That is a minefield. You might come across some consultants who have developed websites, or others who have published videos or blogs. This is a complete hit and miss.
Online medical directories
The majority of these sites are subscription based and will only show you consultants who have subscribed to their services or who are paying a higher tier to be shown to patients.
