Synopsis

This Grand Round will present the evolution of Paediatrics in Geelong and the Barwon Region, as well as discussing the evolution of General Paediatrics as a specialty. We will discuss the importance of the relationship between The Royal Children’s Hospital and Barwon Health and its role in helping to deliver high quality medical and health care to children of our region. We will also discuss ways in which the relationship will continue to be important as Paediatrics in Geelong develops further in the years ahead. This relationship is a good case study of the role that RCH can take throughout Victoria.
