Nursing Care

St. Clair Medical Centre is committed to providing every patient with superior nursing care.   Nursing and post-operative care are a vital part of the recovery process after surgery. The Nursing Department at St. Clair Medical Centre takes pride in its on-going commitment to provide the highest international standards of care for each patient. Our philosophy is patient-centered care; compassionate and comprehensive care, both medical and non-medical, to each and every patient.

There are over two hundred staff members comprising nurses, care assistants, mid-wives, laboratory technicians and technicians in Imaging and Radiotherapy. In addition, there are our support workers who escort patients to and from various medical departments for their treatments.

Patient-Centered Care

With patient’s being better informed these days, they require more information pertaining to their condition and a higher level of quality service. To this end, the Customer Service Department works closely with the nursing staff to provide that service with warmth and understanding, to ensure that the general ambience of the patient’s environment is conducive to speedy recovery.

The Department's team of nurses are fully accredited and have been trained in modern patient care techniques by our more experienced Head Nurses. On a regular basis, departmental staff attend Internal Training Programmes convened by Head Nurses and, occasionally, by doctors and specialists who convey new knowledge and techniques for administering better care for patients in specific situations.

Our nurses will provide for all patients’ needs whilst hospitalized. They will assist with hygiene, provide physical and emotional support, administer medication, explain any procedures a patient is having and advise a patient on how to care for themselves upon returning home after an operation.

These professional teams work in shifts to ensure continuous, around-the-clock assistance to both patients and doctors.  As a further reassurance, Head Nurses and Team Leaders are on call after hours and on weekends, to guarantee that continuous, quality care is provided.
