GLOBAL MEDICINE GROUP SIGNS UP EUROPEAN LEGEND COLIN MONTGOMERIE

London, England, 14th July 2011 –

One of the world’s all-time greatest golfers, Colin Montgomerie, has joined the Global Medicine Group, the World’s premier provider of world class medical consultancy as a Brand Ambassador.

Global Medicine Group, an organisation run by world renowned medical professionals, undertakes to ensure that each client with any medical issue, has the ability to obtain a consultation and be treated by the relevant specialist derived from its rigorously selected panel of 700 of the world’s best medical specialists. Being assessed and treated by the best qualified specialist in a timely manner is the most important factor in obtaining an optimal outcome for a medical problem.

The 8 time European Order of Merit winner and victorious 2010 European Ryder Cup Captain said

‘‘I know what it takes to be the best ranked golfer for seven successive years and it is important for me to know that the doctors who look after my family are also the very best available. When a medical problem arises, regardless of how wealthy or well-connected an individual is, it can prove extremely difficult to identify who the best physicians and surgeons are for specific medical issues. Whilst golf is still my number one passion, my family always come first and I am delighted to be a client and an ambassador for Global Medicine Group’’

CEO and founder of Global Medicine Group, Dr Mark Ali commented, “We are extremely proud to be working with Colin Montgomerie. He is one of the legends of the game and an incredible competitor and true leader, epitomised at Celtic Manor last year. In everyday life, we are used to being able to discern who the really good specialists are in a given field. For example, in golf, we have the world rankings which clearly reflect the scores that a professional hands in, week in, week out, however in medicine, there are no league tables. Colin can now expect to have 24/7 access to the world’s no 1 in medical solutions, because no other organisation has the same infrastructure, methodology, recruitment criteria, audit protocols, appraisal mechanisms and clinical experience as the Global Medicine Group to provide the best medical advice and service.

Looking after our client’s well-being is our primary focus, making sure that whatever their passion, they are fit and healthy to continue doing it for as long as possible. I am sure I am not the only one who looks forward to Monty continuing his illustrious career’’
