A PATIENT-CENTRED APPROACH TO REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Claudia’s approach is built on a fundamental principle: successful patient care begins with appropriate assessment, not simply the administration of a treatment.
Her work on patient optimisation, including the McGloin Patient Optimisation Framework, reflects her interest in the factors that can influence treatment suitability, biological response and clinical outcomes.
She advocates for evidence-based practice, realistic expectations, individualised treatment planning and careful consideration of risks and benefits.
Drawing on her orthopaedic background and extensive experience in regenerative medicine, Claudia recognises that patients require more than a standardised treatment protocol.
Medical history, underlying health conditions, medication, nutritional status, lifestyle factors and the nature of the presenting complaint may all influence clinical decision-making.
Her philosophy is reflected in the guiding principle of her practice:
“The Difference Isn’t the Treatment. It’s the Assessment.”
