We at Northern Cardiology believe that good medical practice is patient-centred.
We understand that each patient is unique, and we work in partnership with our patients, adapting what we
do to address the needs and expectations of each patient.
We believe that a good doctor–patient partnership requires
high standards of professional conduct. This involves:
- Being courteous, respectful, compassionate and honest
- Treating each patient as an individual
- Protecting patients’ privacy and right to confidentiality
- Encouraging and supporting patients to be well informed about their health and to use this information
wisely when they are making decisions
