Patient Guide
Overview
The individualized approach and advanced diagnostics utilised allows IFN to create, modify and manage patient treatment plans in real-time thereby achieving better patient outcomes. In our experience, those successful outcomes whilst enhancing the life of the patient also have an enormous impact on those supporting the patient on their healing journey. Recognition of this impact on the support group often creates a wonderful synergy between understanding, hope and clinical neuroscience that is hard to describe but creates a powerful force in the healing process. In an attempt to encourage this synergy we offer free educations seminars or face-to-face consultations to assist patients and their families in deciding if our therapy is the most appropriate next step for them. We communicate our expectation of the patient’s commitment in terms of the level of determination and time required, as well as their financial investment. Their individualised service begins before we take the first clinical note and generally by the initial consultation we already understand their story and have built a rapport. We strive for excellence in our treatment team and focus our recruitment and induction processes to ensure that we have the right team in place to deliver excellent care.
Our commitment to excellence in treatment delivery, as well as our core values of empathy, honesty and compassion in interactions with our patients, ensures that the patient experience at IFN is second to none. Our partnerships with universities, medical equipment developers and participation in international research collaborations ensures that our staff will continue to develop professionally and clinically in their understanding and application of our individualised therapies.
