HEALT H & BEAUTY Education A Journey of Discovery for Patient, Practice & Surgeon The Layt Clinic Education is a key part of any medical practice. This is enshrined in the Hippocratic Oath - “I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow”. Dr Layt explains, “We are obliged to keep ourselves educated to ensure that we are at the peak of our professional skills and that obligation extends to educating our colleagues.” But it is more than that. Education extends throughout the whole of the practice. It is important to ensure that the practice staff, both clinical and non-clinical, are continually educated to improve the service delivered by the practice and to continue the professional development of the staff, which also is important in maintaining quality outcomes and staff engagement in the activities of the practice. Obviously in all medical practices education of patients is paramount. A well-informed patient will engage in the treatment process with an enthusiasm and becomes a partner in the outcome of the treatment. At the Layt Clinic, Plastic Surgeon, Dr Craig Layt, the Medical Practitioners and staff are passionate about education on all of these levels. 54 Pindara Magazine 2015
