Andras Horvath

Andras joined DMC in January 2024 to assume the role of Service Manager for Dermatology.

Andras’ professional journey has been deeply rooted in the healthcare sector, with a specific focus on cardiology. Before joining DMC, Andras has had the privilege of working at prestigious institutions such as Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, holding the position of Deputy Service Manager. The experience and insights gained from these positions have been instrumental in preparing Andras for his current role at DMC, where his contribution to healthcare delivery is continued.

Andras chose to work at DMC through a desire for a challenge in a new setting outside of cardiology. Dermatology with DMC presents Andras with a fascinating and dynamic field with a great opportunity to broaden horizons, and Andras believes that DMC, with its reputation for excellence and innovation, would be the perfect place to further his already prestigious healthcare career.

Outside of work, Andras has a keen interest in IT – particularly in building computers – and enjoys socialising with friends and colleagues.

“My goal is to contribute to comprehensive healthcare delivery.”

– What matters to Andras

Clinical Effectiveness

Clinical effectiveness means ensuring that all aspects of service delivery are designed to provide the best outcomes for patients. This is achieved by ensuring that the right care is delivered to the right person at the right time they are in need and in the correct setting.

Information

A patient’s information should always be up to date and correct on any systems used. It should also be confidential through correct storage and management of data.

Risk Management

Risk Management involves having robust systems in place to understand, monitor and minimise the risks to patients and staff and to learn from mistakes. When things go wrong in the delivery of care, our staff teams should feel safe admitting it and be able to learn and share what they have learnt, which embeds change in practice.

Patient & Public Involvement

Communication with patients and the public is essential to gain insight on the quality of care we deliver, and any possible problems that can result. Public involvement is equally as important to ensure that patient and public feedback is used to improve services into day-to-day practice for better patient outcomes.

Education & Training

This encompasses the provision of appropriate support to enable staff to be competent in doing their jobs and to develop their skills so that they are up to date. Professional development needs to continue through lifelong learning.

Staff Management

This ensures the organisation recruits highly skilled staff and aligns them with the correct job roles. Staff are supported in professional development and to gain and improve their skills.

Audit

The aim of the audit process is to ensure that clinical practice is continuously monitored and that deficiencies in relation to set standards of care are remedied. Research goes alongside audits to pioneer best practice improvements.
