Scientific Activity

Villa Montallegro has been working for a decade in scientific and training activities. Since 1996 it has sponsored the Società Ligure di Chirurgia. At the end of the 90s, a series of important scientific events on innovating topics were organised, attended by international guests, among which “Angioplasty versus coronary surgery”, “Supra-aortic trunk disease”, “Selective embolisation of uterine fibromas”.

In June 2001, the Scientific technical committee was set up, controlling the scientific and training activities organised by the Casa di Cura, as the meeting “What’s new in ...”, held in 2002 on the occasion of 50 years facility anniversary and the day surgery meeting in 2003, organised in co-operation with Società Italiana di Chirurgia Ambulatoriale e Day Surgery.

Since 2004 a scientific event calendar has been launched at Montallegro, with a series of topic meetings - the radiological "aperitifs”, PiùKinesi, PiùDonna, ‘52 – which have been extremely successful: they were held in the evening, during the week, they were short but mainly adressed to professionals normally working at Casa di Cura, dealing with interdisciplinary common interest subjects, supporting scientific activity and competence enhancement of any professionals and comply with any training requirement in compliance with Ecm (educazione continua in medicina – CPD continuing professional development ), envisaged by the Healthcare Ministry. Perfectly matching scientific and PiùDonna activity, the centre dedicated to health and prevention operating for a few years by Villa Montallegro, will organise throughout 2008 a series of meetings on feminine subjects.
Among the selected topics, some of them are addressed to operators but to women as well, such as “Donne e salute”, directly addressed to women.
PiùDonna furthermore organised a couple of cinema festivals, dedicated to women’s beauty in the 50s and 60s and the 50 year celebration event “cinquantacinqueannidiattività”, attended by many professionals, customers and friends of the Casa di Cura. It was the occasion to generally present the facility daily activity from a medical, service, scientific and entrepreneurial view point.

Similar attention is paid to the healthcare staff training requirements: in 1994 the first updating course for professional nurses was organised and since then Casa di Cura has been deeply committed to organising periodical training and education activities for its staff.

The quality certification awarded spurred the company to plan training courses for its healthcare professionals as well as for front-office staff, the real protagonists of the constant quality system improvement.
