GPs at the forefront of better healthcare | Growlife Medical

Growlife Medical GPs and Project ECHO

Growlife Medical GPs are at the forefront of changing ways of delivering healthcare. Dr Jane MacLeod and Dr Aaron Chambers are participating in project ECHO - a new way of providing specialist treatment to Queensland's Children. Watch the video to find out more!

What is Project Echo?

Growlife's Doctors are excited to be among the first in Australia to be using this new technology, which has been pioneered in Australia by the Lady Client Children's Hospital. Initially, the focus is helping children with ADHD. Specialist paediatricians, psychologist, dietitian and school guidance counsellor provide advice and feedback to the GP via videoconference. This enables education, information sharing, and ultimately improved care for children at their family's regular general practice.

Multidisciplinary teams like this are recognised as the optimal way to deal with complex conditions. However, up until now it has been difficult to make general practice part of this team. Project ECHO overcomes some of these barriers and allows clinicians to work more collaboratively.

We have plenty more plans for technology to provide better care to you and your family, and some other big announcements coming soon. Stay tuned!
