Our Team
To provide optimal healthcare, Dr Gault works together with a team of dedicated medical professionals. Every cancer patient that comes to see Dr. Gault will have their case discussed by all of these professionals in order to decide on a personalised treatment plan – these are called Multidisciplinary Team meetings, because they include medical professionals from various disciplines.
Usually, these are the people present in a Multidisciplinary Team meeting:
- Dr Gault
- A Medical Oncologist
- A Radiation Oncologist
- Radiologist
- Pathologist
- Genetic Counselor
This multidisciplinary approach to cancer care is evidence based and has been shown to improve both survival rates and quality of life.
Dr Gault also works with other healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists, psychologists, and dedicated anaesthetists. Dr Gault will also work closely with each patient’s General Practitioner during treatment.
The team that is engaged for each patient is flexible and may expand or reduce according to the patient’s individual treatment plan. Dr Gault may also refer to other specialists according to patient needs and requests. If you have a particular specialist in mind, you can discuss that with Dr Gault in your consultation.
