MDA Neuromuscular Clinic @ RCH

MDA and Royal Children's Hospital, Neuroscience Centre Announce Significant Sponsorship of Patient Clinic.

The MDA and the Royal Children’s Hospital, Neuroscience Centre recently announced MDA’s significant sponsorship of clinical support services at the RCH.

This includes the sponsorship of a Neuromuscular Clinical Nurse Coordinator who will coordinate the fortnightly MDA Neuromuscular Clinic.

The MDA Neuromuscular Clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic which brings together relevant medical specialties, allied health therapists and other health professionals including direct support by Staff from MDA.

Previously, families could have made several trips to the hospital during the course of a week to see all relevant medical staff. Not anymore - as all necessary appointments are now coordinated to occur on the one day providing members of the MD community a “one – stop – shop” clinical experience.

MDA have also installed an X-Box in the patient waiting area to provide some fun in between appointments.
