Team and Philosophy
Dr. Chatamra's first aim was to build a team of specialists who were highly motivated and shared the same philosophy. Consequently, a group of surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, radiotherapists and nurse counselors with a high level of experience and current in their expertise, now work very closely as a multidisciplinary team .This emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach to patient management ensures the best possible results in care. |
|
The patient is not passed between lists of specialists working as individuals, so often the case, instead the team plans together each patient's treatment plan. Breast preservation, whenever possible, is also a core philosophy of the centre allowing a woman to have the best cosmetic results after surgery in addition to being less emotionally traumatic.
Nurse counselors trained specifically in the U.K. and the U.S., follow the patients from diagnosis through every stage of the treatment plan to offer emotional support and to re-explain any aspects of treatment. The patients will also have access to the volunteers of the Bangkok Breast Cancer Support Group for emotional support and a parallel Thai speaking group, both working at the Queen Sirikit Centre, but covering the whole of Bangkok.
