OUR PEOPLE | “I come originally from Condobolin in Central New South Wales. At university, I did a science degree and I loved anatomy and physiology. I came to Orthoptics after finishing my science degree.
At the moment I am the TeleVision project manager, as Sydney/Sydney Eye Hospital (SSEH) are developing a new virtual model of care to support emergency ophthalmology cases in rural and regional emergency departments (ED’s). We provide eye cameras for their ED’s and then those photos are accessible here at SSEH for our TeleVision project ophthalmologists, who can then have a video consult. Some local health districts don't have ophthalmology services, even on call, so they're left in the dark. If they can't manage patients locally, then we know exactly what we're dealing with and we're getting them straight here, straight to surgery, whatever we need to do.
The Sydney Eye Hospital Foundation (SEHF) has generously provided a grant for the pilot project. We have Wollongong Hospital as our first pilot site, but we've had a lot of interest across the State. We're doing a phased approach to see how our pilot goes and then hopefully expand from there.
Most people don’t know that I used to do salsa and bachata dancing, and I even performed. I don't do it at the moment. I dropped off during COVID and then I didn't really get back to it, but I was obsessed. I was doing like 10 hours of dance a week,” Danielle Morgan, TeleVision project Manager, Sydney/Sydney Eye Hospital.
