Ageing of the skin can present as a mottled colour change or an actual fine wrinkles. Removing the outer Epidermis and Dermis of the skin causes a new layer to form from sun protected cells from the deeper layers of the skin and this produces a tighter smoother appearance.

QUALITY AT DR LANZERS

Dr Lanzers Dermatology and Cosmetic Day Surgery Services is fully accredited with both the ISO 9001:2008 and the National Safety and Quality in Health Service Standards (NSQHS).  The NSQHS require Dr Lanzers clinic to have 100% compliance to all 10 standards before accreditation will be granted.

The fifth area from this list of 10 standards is “Patient Identification and Procedure Matching”.  This standard is set up to ensure that we at Dr Lanzers have and maintain: identification of individual patients processes to transfer care and processes to match patients and their care.

We follow the current requirements for patient identification in regards to patient identification wrist bands and we use the “Surgical Safety Checklist” during theatre.  This Surgical Safety Checklist is designed to correctly identify the patient before induction of anaesthesia, before skin incision and before patient leaves the operating room.  This is just another procedure in place to ensure that we are performing the right procedure, in the right area and on the right patient.  There are internal audits in place to ensure that these procedures are being followed according to the policy and that the paperwork is being completed correctly.  If there are any discrepancies, these are brought to management’s attention through a Quality and Safety Information Report sheet which can be filled in by any member of staff.

This year we proudly received 100% compliance with all aspects of standard 5 Patient Identification and Procedure Matching and therefore were given certification from the National Safety and Quality in Health Services.  We will be monitored annually to ensure we are adhering to the standard and that our practice is up to date.

At the Dr Lanzer Clinic, our aim is the safety and comfort of our patients. This also means it is important for us to provide the appropriate information about available procedures to patients; this is done through our website, but also through consultations at our clinic. Before you have any cosmetic surgery at our clinic, the procedure will be explained in full. You will also be required to sign a consent form, which states you have received the appropriate information and fully understand the risks accompanying your procedure. If you still have questions when you are about to sign the form, we urge you to contact the Dr Lanzer Clinic to obtain more information.
