Amara today

Nearly a decade of solving complex cases has shaped how we practise: do what is right for the patient. Decisions follow evidence and clear judgement, not fashions or trends. We work independently and hold ourselves to outcomes.

Recommendations, referrals and recruitment takes place against defined markers of quality, safety and results.

Amara works without borders, engaging the best specialists and clinics worldwide.

Referral, redefined

When additional expertise is needed, we look beyond our own doors. The same standards that guide our care—rigour, integrity, precision—govern every referral.

We search across geographies and systems to identify the most capable specialist, centre, scanner or treatment pathway. Referrals are consultant-led and evidence-based, drawing on recent outcomes, published quality markers and informed peer input.You receive a clear shortlist with our rationale, expected timelines and coordinated next steps.

In short: the strongest available option, on merit alone.

Recruiting the best

Because people are our greatest asset, Amara only hires the most exceptional.

Every candidate undergoes a rigorous assessment of clinical acumen, integrity, emotional acuity and personality characterisation.

Just as importantly, they need to share our values: we demand compassion, precision and total discretion.

Once selected, they’re mentored and monitored for months before seeing our patients. Only candidates that meet and exceed our standards remain in our team.
