The nursing staff of The Cumberland Clinic™ consists of fully trained Registered
Nurses (R.N.’s) with extensive experience in providing the highest quality care for
each and every patient. Our nurses are leaders in their field. They are led by
Debra Kalman, R.N., Nurse Manager, who has over 20 years surgical experience
in a team environment, specializing in pre-operative, intraoperative and
post-operative care. The nursing staff have backgrounds in hospital care and
maintain their knowledge and skills at the forefront through continuing medical
education. All our nursing staff belongs to the College of Nurses of Ontario. Our
nurses create a safe, secure and comforting environment to enhance each
patient’s surgical experience and expedite recovery.
Our anaesthetic staff are all certified by the Royal College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Canada (i.e. are board certified) and are selected for their ability to
provide patients the safest and most comfortable anesthesia possible. Patients
have the opportunity to meet their anaesthesiologist pre-operatively and discuss
their anesthesia protocol. Our anaesthesiologists remain on-call for our patients
post-operatively to meet any needs.
Our staff accompanies each patient through their surgical experience, providing
verbal and written instructions and, most importantly, the physical and emotional
support needed to enhance recovery.
For patients who stay overnight for recovery, they are monitored in our fully
equipped Recovery Room by their own nurse – one nurse for 1 or 2 patients. This
is but one component of The Overnight Package™ and The
Visitor’s
Package™. Every patient is assessed by their surgeon and given
instructions
the next morning prior to discharge. For those who have same-day surgery,
medical and/or nursing staff contact them at home the evening of surgery to
ensure a safe and comfortable post-operative period and answer any questions.
One of our surgical staff is always on call for the clinic for any needs that may
arise.
The Cumberland Clinic™ is fully accredited by the Canadian Association for
Accreditation Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (www.CAAASF.org). As such, all
medical equipment is fully approved and regularly maintained by certified
specialists in biomedical engineering.
