From the Paper:

"The diversification of the health workforce as a result of rapidly expanding knowledge and contemporary trends must be looked upon as positive. Traditional roles must be able to adapt to the ever-changing field of 21st century medicine. As these technological and perioperative management advances streamline time and resource usage, the patient should still be priority. Although the latter may not always be tangible to patients, it is up to healthcare workers and policy makers to further improve on treating the most patients while at the same time ensuring patient feedback and satisfaction are at the centre of these efforts regardless."
