Specialist expertise brought closer to patients.

The Visiting Consultant Programme allows approved Nigerian and diaspora specialists to support LifeCome Hospitals through scheduled clinics, procedures, training, case reviews and service development.

Programme purpose

To expand specialist access, strengthen local teams, support clinical training and bring advanced expertise to patients without depending entirely on permanent specialist staffing from day one.

Possible specialties

Cardiology, orthopaedics, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, internal medicine, surgery, radiology, nephrology, anaesthesia, emergency medicine and other priority areas.

Governance

Consultants must be credentialed, scheduled, scope-defined and integrated into hospital clinical governance, medical records, consent and follow-up processes.

Patient booking

Patients should book only through approved schedules. Visiting clinics may have limited slots, required referrals or pre-consultation investigations.

Training role

Visiting consultants can support grand rounds, mentorship, clinical audit, protocol development and capacity building for local staff.
