RSM Medical Innovations Programme

Last week, I spoke at the Royal Society of Medicine Medical Innovations meeting about the separation of the Sudanese conjoined twins Rital and Ritag. It was an opportunity to share the thinking and organisation behind the separation.

Preparing for the lecture gave me some time to reflect and organise my thoughts about the whole process. Although the surgery was quite complex, I think main reason for such a successful separation lay in the meticulous pre operative planning and the wide range of expertise that the team at Great Ormond Street Hospital was able to offer.

The Medical Innovations Programme was a very informative and enjoyable day. Subjects ranged from latest updates in biotechnology to innovations in deep brain stimulation to treat movement disorders to the architecture of Maggie’s cancer centres.

It was a thoroughly inspiring day and a great venue to exchange ideas with medical innovators from a wide range of disciplines.

I am looking forward to next year’s event.

Acting with the utmost integrity

From the moment I discussed my procedure with Professor Dunaway I felt very comfortable with what I had decided to have done. My family and I have used his services before and I knew I was in safe hands. Professor Dunaway acted very professionally when he told me that due to swollen sinuses, he couldn't undertake the procedure in December. He did however book me in for another time and this reassured me that he was acting with the utmost integrity. My procedure went well and I was reassured at all times. My swelling lasted longer than I expected, however I just had to be patient and wait for that to subside. I am really delighted with my results and 3 months later feel much better about myself and how I look. I have Professor Dunaway to thank for that.

I would highly recommend Professor Dunaway to my friends

I would highly recommend Professor Dunaway to my friends. He has a genuine & great customer manner, he explains the procedure in clear simple English and makes you feel comfortable to ask questions. I highly recommend him and if I needed another procedure in the future, it would definitely be with Professor Dunaway.

I have every faith and confidence in Professor Dunaway

I booked an appointment with Professor Dunaway quite some years ago as my daughter had a scald accident when she was almost 2 years old. Professor Dunaway took the time to talk through the best options available and advised at that time that I should wait until she was a little older. After a consultation appointment earlier this year, Professor Dunaway explained the operation would be performed in 3 stages, 3 months apart. I found Professor Dunaway very easy to talk to and felt comfortable asking him questions.

Supported me throughout the entire process

Given my past experience with another surgeon, I was a very nervous and anxious patient. Professor Dunaway and his team were very patient with me and supported me throughout the entire process. He was always willing to take my calls even at weekends and often replied directly to my late night emails. I have met with many doctors in the last 20 years and he is the most caring, understanding and kindest doctor I have met, not to mention extremely competent and talented at what he does.
