Happy Heart Clinic: Improving children's experiences of regular LA Bicillin injections in RHD

The Happy Heart Clinic is designed children who require monthly painful injections for at least 10 years from diagnosis to prevent Rheumatic Heart Disease, an entirely preventable disease that primarily effects children who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.

Through engaging with the paediatric patients and involving them in their care processes, the clinic is drastically improving medication delivery. By treating the kids with kindness and giving them agency, they're more involved in their health and are supported to become active consumers.
