Our Supporting Clinicians
“When I was asked to gather a group of diabetes and endocrinology consultants at OneWelbeck, I focused on choosing first-rate teaching-hospital clinicians. I also chose partners who I knew were accurate and efficient in communicating with both their patients and medical colleagues. This is the basis of our collaboration within OneWelbeck to provide matchless and easily-accessible specialist care.”
