Weight Management ECHO

Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes

 

Enrol to the Weight Management ECHO

ECHO aims to create a community of practice that fosters shared learning and professional support.

Through regular online sessions, participants gain insights into best-practice weight management from a panel of experts and engage in collaborative case discussions.

Individuals and teams are encouraged to submit de-identified cases for clinical debriefing. This promotes reflection, shared learning, and the identification of opportunities to enhance care pathways, improve patient experiences, and reduce the risk of future adverse outcomes.

All healthcare professionals from across South Australia are welcome to join this FREE program.

Submit your case

Case submissions are welcome from all participants - whether they involve routine weight management scenarios or complex and challenging presentations.

We encourage individuals and teams to share de-identified cases to support collaborative learning, reflection, and continuous improvement in patient care and outcomes.

Please note: ECHO sessions are educational in nature and are not intended to replace specialist referral or formal secondary consultation where required.
