About Patient Advocates
Patient Advocates ARE the Difference.
Patient Advocates Description
Every person in Australia is entitled to excellent health care but not every person gets that level of care or knows how to go about getting it. Sometimes the system struggles to get it right and sometimes the patient struggles to know what is going on and how to get what they need. Recruit an expert to be on your side, and at your side, and your chance of accessing the excellent care that is possible is enhanced.
If you are seeking independent, expert assistance and support to ensure your health care needs are met, a private patient advocate can help. Even when you are fit and well your age, gender, language, ethnicity, culture, sexuality, religion or personality can make you vulnerable within the healthcare industry: when you are also unwell, in pain, in hospital, alone, stressed or seemingly on a round-about things can quickly get out of control.
A private patient advocate provides a bespoke service which is designed and revised to meet each client's wishes and requirements. A private patient advocate works directly for the client /patient and does not have a conflict of interest with a health-provider employer or with any bureaucracy.
