Speakers & Topics
These workshops consist of two engaging courses, provided by RespectEd and Health NZ | Te Whatu Ora, and an update from the ACA:
- Restorative principles and practices
Presenter: Jo Wailling and Stephanie Turner
A restorative approach is a set of relational principles that finds expression in common practices that promote human agency, dignity, respect, voluntariness, responsibility, equity and safety e.g. psychological, emotional and cultural safety (kawa whakaruruhau).
Learning objectives:- Critically evaluate the impacts of current approaches to conflict, complaints and adverse events in the aged care sector and the human impacts and needs that arise from them.
- Explore how a restorative response can mitigate the risk of compounded harm and the factors critical for safety and partnership with Māori and other vulnerable communities.

Learning objectives: In relation to medicines use in aged residential care, participants will be able to:- Describe the problems of polypharmacy among older residents
- Discuss examples of problematic polypharmacy they see in practice
