On this week's episode I am excited to be sharing Dr Andrew Leech (FRACGP, MBBS, BSC, DCH)  the founder and director of @The Garden Family Medical Centre here in Perth both Murdoch and Piara Waters.

We had some great conversations around what he is seeing in his clinic with our kiddos.   The increase of children presenting with neurodiverse symptoms such as ADHD & Autism etc.  And how challenging it is to be able to get the support our families need around their children's health. 

The 'Garden' is a unique clinic that aims to revolutionise primary healthcare utilising new and innovative approaches for children and their parents.  This focuses on using longer consultations. This has successfully been implemented as the pelvic pain clinic, which is one of 22 clinics around Australia selected by the federal government to increase accessibility for patients with chronic pelvic pain.  This has been expanded to the extended care consultations for kids and teens which deals with complex paediatric presentations.  

Andrew was awarded the RACGP WA GP of the year in 2023 on the back of significant advocacy work in child and adolescent mental health in WA through campaigning new models of care through media and the state health department.  He has represented General Practice at state and federal government parliamentary enquiries to discuss the importance of improving access to mental health care for children and their families. 

Much Love

Donna
