Recognising the influence of internet when patients are seeking medical guidance, Harley Street Spine has launched a brand new website featuring updates on its services and expertise.
Mr Bob Chatterjee, director and lead surgeon of the practice, has upgraded the online portal offering patients and medical referrers a chance to further understand a range of potential conditions – and the treatment pathways associated with them.
Reseachers found that an increasing number of people, as many as 1 in 4, are looking online to assess their health as they find it becoming harder to get a doctor’s appointment. Providing accurate and updated medical information online is now fu
ndamental for guiding patients at least to an experienced and qualified specialist.
Mr Chatterjee says, “With the Internet era, there is an awful lot of information out there regarding spinal conditions and their treatment. However, I would caution, that a lot of it can be either generalising or misleading and that it should be your surgeon’s job to put the information in context to you on an individual basis.
“Nevertheless, it is useful to have some information to help understand conditions and the following below include both my patient information leaflets and trusted sources of information”.
The new website offers all the locations for consultation and places of surgery such as Highgate Private Hospital with dedicated online appointment forms for the patient, GP and Allied Professional referral and international referral forms.
Harley Street Spine is led by Mr Bob Chatterjee alongside a medical team specialising in all forms of spinal surgery from skull to pelvis and minimally invasive keyhole surgery and spinal treatment in the elderly. Mr Bob Chatterjee has undertaken a Royal College of Surgeons accredited spinal training programme in both Orthopaedics and Neurosurgery. Mr Chatterjee is also a Senior Spinal Consultant at The Royal Free Hospitals NHS Trust and also the new Chief of Spinal Surgery at the hospital of St. John’s and St. Elizabeth’s in North London.
