Located in the northern end of the Central Coast, Tuggerah Lakes Private Hospital, is the regions newest private health facility, delivering high quality surgical and medical services. Opening in 2019, the hospital has since expanded its options for Breast Cancer patients, in 2022, by introducing the leading Savi SCOUT\u00ae technology to its suite of services, improving the experience for patients who require surgery for removal of a breast tumour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Savi SCOUT\u00ae provides wire\u2013free radar localisation, with a tiny reflector device placed into the breast any time prior to the patient\u2019s scheduled surgery. The surgeon then locates the device in the Operating Theatre by directing radiation\u2013free signals at the reflector. Once located, the Surgeon can determine the best pathway to the tumour during surgery, so it can be removed while conserving the remaining breast tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTuggerah Lakes Private Hospital is committed to supporting the community through their cancer journey. To ensure we provide a holistic approach we are increasing the services available at the hospital from diagnosis through to treatment and surgery if required,\u201d said Tuggerah Lakes Private Hospital CEO, Jennifer McNamara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHaving started in October, some of the Central Coast\u2019s best Breast Surgeons are now consulting and operating out of the hospital including Dr Paul Chen, Dr Mary Ling and Dr Rita Poon. Medical Oncologist, Dr Mamta Bagia, and Radiation Oncologist, Professor John Boyages are also joining our team,\u201d said Ms McNamara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Paul Chen, an expert Oncoplastic Surgeon who will be at the new clinic every second Thursday added \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see the multidisciplinary team providing an on\u2013site service at the Tuggerah Lakes Private Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The addition of these clinicians means the hospital will now offer a comprehensive breast cancer service, with no need for patients to travel away from the northern Central Coast for their care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are committed to ensuring accessible high quality healthcare to the community by investing in the latest, most innovative tools and technologies to optimise clinical outcomes for patients. Having these services now on the northern end of the Central Coast means local patients won\u2019t need travel too far from home. This is the beginning of what we hope to be a comprehensive cancer service in years to come,\u201d said Ms McNamara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
