"KEMH Breastfeeding Clinic Telehealth Service"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Breastfeeding Centre of WA

(as the patient),

I had several months of breastfeeding problems and it was suggested by my GP that I try and get an appointment with the breastfeeding clinic at King Edwards. I live rurally but was willing to drive to Perth to try and get on top of the feeding issues and continue breastfeeding (at that stage I was very ready to give in).

Fortunately, the clinic had started telehealth sessions and offered me an appointment to avoid the 10-hour round trip to Perth. I had two appointments with Shaughn, my lactation consultant at the clinic. She was amazing- professional, extremely knowledgable and just a lovely person. I felt very well looked after.

I was so appreciative of the telehealth service. It ran so smoothly and I was able to stay in the comfort of my own home and use my computer. Awesome service. Thank you and great job to everyone who helped me at the breastfeeding clinic at KEMH.

Dear emeg87,

Congratulations on the birth of your child. Thank you for your comments on the Care Opinion site.

The telehealth service has made a difference in the care we are able to provide to rural communities and it is lovely to hear that you were able to get the advice and support you needed, without the inconvenience of a long journey to Perth.

Thank you for sharing your story and we will be sure to send your appreciative comments to all the staff involved, with special thanks to Shaughn.

I wish you and your family all the best for the future.

Regards

Jodi Graham
