The company, Pharaon Healthcare Nigeria Limited, and the LUTH Radiotherapy Department both subscribed to theories and models that guide healthcare professionals in structuring consultations to enhance communication, improve patient outcomes, and foster a collaborative and supportive healthcare environment.
Such as patient-centred care theory, Conceptually, the approach emphasizes respecting and responding to individual patient preferences, needs, and values. It ensures that patient values guide all clinical decisions, and in application, healthcare providers listen to patients, involve them in decision-making, and provide holistic care that considers emotional, social, and practical support. Also, Shared Decision-Making (SDM) Theory, with the concept that involves collaboration between patients and healthcare providers to make health decisions, considering the best clinical evidence available and the patient’s values and preferences, has the application of enhancing patient engagement and satisfaction by ensuring they are active participants in their healthcare decisions. According to Denis Waitley’s philosophy, “time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.” and Maxime Lagace said that the more you understand yourself, the more silence there is and the healthier you are.
On a final note, when seeking health consultations, it’s essential to approach the right organization with a track record of achievement and rousing mental wealth staff, such as Pharaon Healthcare Nigeria Limited, just to get the desired result.
