Our clinical programs put patients’ needs first
At MQ Health, our clinical program structure means delivering our services according to what our patients need rather than what our clinicians do.
Focused on disease processes rather than traditional clinical specialties, our clinical programs promote an integrated, team-based approach to care.
We bring these structures to life in care delivery across the continuum of prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management and support, all backed by the latest evidence and research.
Our unique model aims to support patients, their families and carers at all stages of their healthcare journeys.
Areas of care
We provide clinical programs in the following areas:
Our Bone and Joint Clinical Program takes a holistic approach to repairing and caring for the breaks, tears and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Our internationally recognised experts are sub-specialists in the core areas of the body and work with our patients to give them the best chance of returning to their peak physical health.
