Here are some themes that guide how we do things at Dural Osteopaths …
Love for humanity
- Respect – People are why we are here. Each person is a precious and unique individual with valid emotions, preferences, opinions and dreams. We value the very young right through to the aged; the very needy through to the self-sufficient; people from all walks of life and society; those from all racial, religious and lifestyle backgrounds. Every person has purpose and value.
- Character – We aspire to live by the ancient list of ultimate human qualities: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control. We aim to develop a culture in which people will find personal affirmation and healing through these qualities.
- Courtesy – We recognise and honour the valuable contribution of other qualified health disciplines and professionals.
Integrity and honesty
- People – Every person deserves to be treated with integrity and honesty, so these principles guide all our services and recommendations to clients. We refer people to other health professionals when that is most helpful for the client and we only recommend our services to the point that is in the client’s best interest.
- Regulations – We recognise the valuable role that laws and regulations play in our society and in the health profession and therefore aim to maintain integrity of practice in all details.
Pursuit of excellence
- Service – We are committed to providing health care that is increasingly effective and in line with current research. So we actively pursue professional development and expertise in our fields.
- Details – Because people are worthy of our respect we aim for perfection in every detail of what we do.
- Feedback – We welcome relevant feedback on our practice and service, and take peoples’ observations and feelings seriously.
