Mr. Owen is convinced that, as well as surgical expertise, good communication is vital in providing patients with the first-class service they deserve.
‘Patients should have confidence in the whole team and this requires a down-to-earth approach with a sensible and thorough explanation. Of course, communication is a two-way process and an excellent team is one that listens and responds to patients’ concerns.’
