About
Dr. Craig A. McBride is a leading figure in paediatric surgery and telehealth, whose work has fundamentally reshaped how surgical care is delivered to children in remote and underserved communities. His primary research focuses on the implementation and efficacy of telepaediatric services, particularly for pre- and post-operative surgical patients. Dr. McBride’s landmark contribution is his comprehensive review of the Queensland Telepaediatric Service (QTS), established in 2000. Through a meticulous 13-year analysis, he documented how the QTS facilitated nearly 19,000 video consultations from the Royal Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, demonstrating that complex surgical follow-ups can be safely and effectively managed remotely. This work, cited 27 times, has provided a robust evidence base for expanding telehealth in paediatric surgery, reducing the burden of travel for families and improving access to specialist care. Dr. McBride’s research not only highlights the logistical and clinical successes of the QTS but also sets a global standard for integrating telemedicine into surgical pathways, making him a pivotal advocate for technology-driven, equitable healthcare for children.
