Workshop Descriptions
Understanding trauma and violence informed systems of care in aged care settings
Trauma‐and‐violence‐informed care expands on the concept of trauma‐informed care. It considers the intersecting impacts of systemic and interpersonal violence and structural inequities on a person’s life. This workshop will equip health professionals with the knowledge and skills to provide responsive, trauma and violence informed care in aged care settings.
The course will cover
- Understanding the principles of trauma and violence-informed care
- Recognising violence and the impacts of violence on victim survivors
- Implementing trauma and violence-informed practices in daily care
Relieving the pressure
This workshop is about getting back to basics of pressure injury prevention and management – how do they develop, how can we prevent them and if they do develop, how do we stop them deteriorating?
There will be practical workshops on staging and a brief overview on product selection, as well as some tips and tricks on repositioning.
These workshops are being supported by pressure injury experts from your communities, the people with the best understanding of the pressure injury landscape in your region.
