Since the commencement of this clinic, it has provided a service for 110 patients with an additional 137 patients who have been referred and triaged.

Baby Steps: Baby bottle recycling in NICU

Neonatal intensive care is, by its very nature, intensive in both care and energy consumption. However, NICUs can play an important role in reducing the carbon footprint of healthcare. Identifying leaner pathways, and determining sustainable alternatives must form part of the domains of quality care.

Cross Roads - Improving management of children & young people with moderate-severe brain injury and comorbid mental health needs
Allied Health
Acquired brain injuries are leading cause of disability in children and young people. Prior research highlights that poor mental health outcomes are a key predictable and preventable consequence of moderate-severe brain injury in children and young people. Unfortunately, most young people with a brain injury and mental health needs do not access the mental health care they require. When a child’s post-injury mental health needs remain unmet, they are at risk of poorer social, emotional, and vocational/ academic outcomes. This presentation will describe the process of developing and implementing a collaborative care approach to adding mental health care (specifically psychiatry consultation) to an existing brain injury rehabilitation team.

Rapid Echocardiography for Congenital And Rheumatic Heart Disease – Investigating a New Approach
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Paediatric Care
The RECARDINA pilot project evaluated two possible approaches to an innovative screening protocol for congenital and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in school-aged children and young people, using briefly-trained healthcare workers conducting handheld, single parasternal long axis (PLAX) view echocardiography. Both approaches could potentially be scaled up to allow for screening very large numbers of children in a short period of time.
