New physiotherapy CPD app

by Karen Keast A new smartphone app enables New Zealand physiotherapists to track their professional development hours all at the touch of a button.

Physiotherapy New Zealand (PNZ) has launched the Physio Log app, created by physiotherapists Mark Shirley and Kurt Thomas, along with developer Neil McKenzie.

The app enables physiotherapists to establish a personal CPD account, record their professional development and to capture and store photos of certificates.

Physiotherapists will also be able to store their personal data safely and securely on the Log It Apps server, export all of the information to an excel template and will be able to email that record to their own computer, as a back-up, and to the Physiotherapy Board if audited.

Page 6 | www.ncah.com.au

Physiotherapists in New Zealand are required to complete 100 hours of professional development every three years in a bid to retain their annual practising certificate.

PNZ president Gill Stotter labelled the app “a fantastic concept”.

“We like that is has been developed by two of our members - physiotherapists working in New Zealand,” she said.

“We think there is a gap in the market for a useful tool that makes tracking CPD easy and that’s why we’ve purchased it and made it freely available to all of our members.

“We expect that the app will be very popular amongst our 3000 strong membership.”

Study points to factors behind aged care assaults A new study has identified demanding workloads and poor workplace autonomy as factors influencing nurses’ exposure to workplace violence in the aged care sector.

Conducted by Australian Catholic University, the study, whose results were published in The Journal of Nursing Administration, encompassed 269 aged care nurses. Many of them reported high rates of workplace violence including physical assault and emotional abuse from residents.

The study found that 36 per cent of respondents reported being physically assaulted by a resident or family member in the past five shifts; a similar number reported experiencing a threat of assault and 29 per cent reported being emotionally abused.

These forms of violence had occurred frequently, according to around 15 per cent of nurses.

Page 8 | www.ncah.com.au

As reported by australianageingagenda. com.au, the study’s authors, Professor John Rodwell and Defne Demir from the ACU’s Melbourne Faculty of Business, indicated the results echoed previous research that violence was at high levels for nurses, in particular for nurses who cared for the elderly.

It was also noted that reports of workplace violence occurred in facilities with a zero tolerance policy to violence.

It was suggested that over-worked nurses’ demands were such that patients or their family members might feel they had not received a sufficient level of service. Significantly, the study found that when nurses had more control over how they carried out their work, the incidence of reported violence was lower.

Medical teams set off to save lives on the Kokoda Track

by Karen Keast The first No Roads to Health expedition in Papua New Guinea will depart on 15 November following pilot expeditions in November 2012 and April 2013. This is the first in a series of expeditions over the next three years to take medical teams along the Kokoda Track to help improve the lives of local communities.

Health professionals such as nurses, doctors and midwives from Australia will set off on Friday for eight days to walk the Kokoda Track and administer the program along the way.

They will start in Port Moresby, delivering two clinics and meeting with officials and partner agencies. One partnership is with PNG Eye Care who will be sending a refractionist with the team to conduct eye tests and then use No Roads Expeditions logistical reach to deliver prescription reading glasses to remote villages.

The No Roads to Health initiative aims to send at least two medical teams per year into remote villages however due to an amazing response and demand by Australian clinical professionals to be part of these expeditions, already three expeditions have been scheduled for the first half of 2014 with an additional two in the planning phase. These teams will educate women in particular and administer general medical care to the locals.

The training will include maternal health, infant health and well-being, breast feeding, wound and infection management, and nutrition.

“The expedition is focussed on educating and mentoring the community health care workers along the track and setting up clinics in remote villages but the medical teams still get to enjoy themselves as they trek through an iconic region in Australia’s history with their mornings spent on the track and their evenings in the villages running clinics and seeing patients,” says Peter Miller, No Roads Expeditions Managing Director.

Page 16 | www.ncah.com.au

The No Roads to Health initiative has partnered with PNG Eye Care, AUSAID, The Kokoda Track Foundation and PNG health officials to deliver this life saving program.

“The strength of these partnerships is crucial for the future success of the No Roads to Health initiative. We’ve been working on getting this program up and running since 2008 and to have our first official expedition about to commence is a big moment for everyone involved. We’re excited to see the positive impact our medical teams will have on local communities along the track,” says Peter.

Red Cross calling The Australian branch of the British Red Cross Society was formed in 1914 amid the outbreak of the First World War. One hundred years later, nurses and allied health professionals are still answering the organisation’s call to help others, writes Karen Keast.

An avid traveller, Lindah Jury always dreamt of working overseas but she wanted to be much more than a tourist.

Lindah, a registered nurse, wanted to use her nursing and health skills to assist others while also experiencing a connection with communities abroad.

Today, Lindah is the Australian Red Cross’ international health coordinator, where she works with nurses and other health professionals volunteering overseas.

She ensures those health professionals have received their vaccinations, addresses any preexisting medical conditions and is also there to provide assistance in the event volunteers become ill while on assignment.

Lindah has also served as a Red Cross aid worker, where she worked at a weapon wounded hospital in Pakistan and, in another assignment, also visited detainees in northern Iraq, where she was involved in ensuring prisoners had equitable access to healthcare and also provided analysis on detainees to government.

More recently, Lindah spent two months in Micronesia to help launch a grassroots-based health program.

Lindah describes the experiences as incredibly challenging but also very rewarding.

“One of the really amazing things is coming back to my original motivation which was getting close to people from countries that I would never have imagined I would come so close to,” she says.

Page 18 | www.ncah.com.au

“I remember a guy who was a teacher in a Madrassa, a conservative Islamic school; he had never met a foreigner before.

“He was brought up to think we were all really terrible monsters.”

However, after meeting Lindah and her associates, Lindah says he “completely rethought his whole concept of the world”.

“Those break-through moments are just invaluable and completely amazing,” she says.

Originally from New Zealand, Lindah worked mostly in neurology and neurosurgery at the Auckland Hospital before moving to Australia in 2003.

She worked at the Emergency and Trauma Centre at Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital and also took on nursing coordinator roles with the Alfred at Home and the General Medical Unit programs.

In 2008, Lindah decided to pursue her dream of working for the Red Cross, and applied to become an aid worker.

Aid workers Australian Red Cross aid workers support communities to achieve healthier and safer

continued from previous page Advice The volunteer program can serve as an ideal pathway for nurses and allied health professionals wanting to move into a career in humanitarian work.

“That reality being usually a year overseas, which is a huge step and I think people need to think quite seriously about the difference between medical tourism and proper humanitarian work,” she says.

“Volunteering can demonstrate their competency and also give them experience,” Lindah says.

Most importantly, Lindah says, nurses and allied health professionals wanting to help others overseas have to be willing.

“It’s a really nice way to get known within the movement.”

“If you are willing, then you can find that resilience to cope with all of the challenges that come your way,” she says.

Lindah says health professionals can seek rural and remote work in Australia, or through the Australian Red Cross’ work in remote Aboriginal communities, to experience resource-poor locations and isolation typical of humanitarian work.

You can also match your education to the roles you are wanting to venture into. Lindah completed a Master of Public Health with an international stream through Monash University.

Lindah says people often tell her they would love to pursue humanitarian work overseas and then the reality sinks in.

Page 20 | www.ncah.com.au

Survey to help forge e-mental health resources

by Karen Keast Australian allied health professionals, mental health nurses and general practice nurses are being asked to share their views about online mental health services.

Australian National University’s Centre for Mental Health Research is conducting an online survey to gauge primary care nurses and allied health workers’ awareness and use of e-mental health.

The results of the 2014 e-Mental Health Support Service Survey will help forge the creation of new national training and promotional materials specifically designed for e-mental health resources.

The training will feature face-to-face workshops, online training modules and online discussion groups and webinars, which will also contribute to ongoing professional development points.

The survey is part of the Australian Government’s national e-Mental Health in Practice (eMHPrac) initiative, which aims to encourage the use of e-mental health resources in primary care.

Centre e-hub clinical services manager Julia Reynolds, a clinical psychologist, said the survey results will help deliver online resources for primary care health professionals and also people with mental health issues.

“The survey will help us understand what would most benefit clinicians,” she said.

occupational therapists, counsellors and community support workers as well as mental health nurses and practice nurses.

“General practice nurses are very often people’s first point of call,” she said.

“They might support people with their medication and have an ongoing relationship with the person, who might not see their GP as frequently.

“Allied health workers, such as physiotherapists and people who deal with pain conditions, might also see quite a few people who have depression and anxiety.”

Ms Reynolds, who is working on the project alongside eMHPrac clinical project officer Andrew Staniforth, said Australia is home to a range of online resources from peer support and information sites to online counselling programs.

“We are one of the very few countries in the world that has developed resources that far,” she said.

“This initiative is very important because it’s going to help workers who are already providing psychology services do more with the services they have, and provide free or low cost help for people who find it difficult to access traditional services, such as those in remote and rural areas.

“We are wanting to get a snapshot of health workers in primary care at the beginning of our program and get an understanding of what their awareness is of services, what is their use of services and what are the concerns and benefits, so that we can actually feed that back into the things that are going to be developed over the next three years.”

“It’s also going to help people have access to really good, safe information.”

Ms Reynolds said the survey hoped to tap into the views of psychologists, physiotherapists,

Nurse practitioners hit the 1000 mark

by Karen Keast Australia is now home to 1000 nurse practitioners (NPs).

NPs are highly educated, skilled and experienced registered nurses who can prescribe medications, order and interpret x-rays and blood tests, and refer to medical specialists.

The first NP was recognised in New South Wales in 2000 and, in 2010, NPs joined eligible midwives who were granted extended powers to offer rebates on services under the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) and to write prescriptions that qualify for Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) subsidies.

The Australian College of Nurse Practitioners (ACNP) recently endorsed the 1000th nurse practitioner.

ACNP president Helen Gosby said while the figure represents a significant milestone, the profession still has a long way to go.

“There are systemic legislative and local barriers in both the public and private health care sectors which have denied the profession from working to their full capacity,” she said.

“If nurse practitioners were able to practice to their full potential, innovative and effective models of care would be introduced thus meeting the changing needs of the population without additional resources.”

The ACNP has lobbied the Federal Government to introduce simple, cost-neutral solutions to remove the barriers.

It comes after the Centre for International Economics late last year prepared a report on the economic value and potential of NPs in Australia, titled Responsive Patient Centred Care, for the ACNP. The report showcases the positive impact of NPs in improving patient outcomes and highlights the need to foster strong interdisciplinary partnerships to enhance clinical services.

Page 28 | www.ncah.com.au

It also states NPs are “being held back” from performing their function to best effect due to the lack of MBS provider numbers.

“It is recommended that MBS provider numbers be granted to public sector NPs, initially on a trial basis if deemed appropriate, to help maximise Australia’s investment in its NP service,” the report states.

“The direct and indirect financial impacts of this could then be tracked over time to ensure cost effectiveness.

“Over time, international research suggests that the more effectively NPs are included in the model of patient care, the more patients will benefit, and that improved patient outcomes can be provided at an equivalent cost to government.

Mater nurses and midwives take action

by Karen Keast More than 2300 nurses and midwives at Brisbane’s Mater Hospital are wearing campaign tees and badges as protected industrial action begins.

The Queensland Nurses’ Union (QNU) states the Mater, which is jointly funded through Queensland Health grants and revenue generated by Mater private hospitals, owes its nurses and midwives more than $1 million in pay.

QNU secretary Beth Mohle said government funds paid to the Mater over the past two years to meet annual pay increases were not passed on to the hospital’s nurses and midwives.

Ms Mohle said while 32,000 public sector nurses and midwives received the increases, Mater nurses and midwives - some owed up to $6000 each - have missed out, while the hospital also wants to remove some long-held conditions.

At the time of publication, Ms Mohle said members had begun action and would consider moving to one-hour stop work meetings in coming days.

“We will be guided by our members of what our members want to do,” she said.

“We won’t be doing anything that will impact on patient care. We will be making sure that safety is maintained at all times.

“Our members just want a fair deal.”

Ms Mohle said the union had been working to reach an agreement for the past two years.

“The next pay increase is from the 1st of April. We will only have a year to go, in the agreement,” she said.

“This is just non-sensical. We will have to start negotiations for the next agreement and we haven’t even finished off this one.”

Physiotherapists lobby to refer their patients

by Karen Keast Physiotherapists being granted the power to refer their patients to relevant medical specialists could save the Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) an estimated $13.6 million every year.

A new report from the Deeble Institute and Griffith University’s Centre for Applied Health Economics reveals physiotherapist referrals will reduce red tape in the MBS, deliver significant cost savings and improve prospects for early intervention for physiotherapy patients.

The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) has recommended the move to the Federal Government in its pre-budget submission.

The recommendation, the sole cost-saving suggestion in the APA’s submission, states physiotherapists should be facilitated to refer within their sphere of expertise, similar to optometrists, dentists, midwives and nurse practitioners.

The report shows physiotherapist referrals will reduce GP visits by about 737,000 a year, increase specialist medical practitioner consultations by 55,521, and deliver more than $2.1 million in savings to patients while shaving $3.6 million from the federal health budget every year.

In the submission, APA president Marcus Dripps states the Australian primary health care system is facing exploding costs, workforce maldistribution, changing patient demographics and an ageing workforce.

Mr Dripps says funding streams add complexity and duplication onto the patient journey and the system needs to embrace innovation in a bid to serve Australians into the future.

“In order to cope with Australia’s future needs, the health workforce needs to learn to utilise its strengths to work in smarter, innovative ways,” he states.

“Funding models that support the skills of physiotherapists to make appropriate referrals Page 30 | www.ncah.com.au

to medical practitioners can reduce the burden on overstretched GPs and improve the patient journey.”

The submission states physiotherapists are experts in musculoskeletal health and know when their patients need to see a medical specialist or a GP. Physiotherapists have been referring to medical specialists in a variety of ways in the public sector for many years, including at Ballarat Health Service in Victoria where physiotherapists screen patients on the orthopaedic waiting list.

“In this model, a musculoskeletal physiotherapist screens patients referred

by GPs to an orthopaedic surgeon, filtering and treating patients who could benefit from conservative treatment and reducing the number of appointments on the orthopaedic wait list,” the submission explains.

Another Victorian initiative, the new TAC pain management program, enables physiotherapists to refer motor accident patients directly to pain medicine specialists.

“These types of roles demonstrate that physiotherapists are more than capable of dealing with patients in need of specialist care,” it states.
