Australia’s first private medical legal partnership
In 2017, ROCHE Legal entered into a Medical Legal Partnership with the Dennis Road Medical Centre in Springwood to provide cost and obligation free legal advice to their patients.
Studies in the USA have shown that such partnerships are beneficial to the health of patients who get treated by a doctor for symptoms that are often related to legal issues worrying the patient. By addressing the legal issue concerning the patient the physical, psychological and emotional health of the patient improves.
