NZACA Workshops 2022

Workshop for Registered Nurses and Clinical Managers

The workshops for Registered Nurses are planned for June and July 2022. We are pleased to have secured amongst other presenters Dr Michal Boyd and Julie Daltrey for this round of workshops.

Hear Dr Michal Boyd and Julie Daltrey speak on detecting early warning signs of deterioration of residents in New Zealand Aged care. Poor detection of less obvious symptoms/decline in aged residential care residents can result in serious and mismanaged outcomes.

 

The programme will include sessions on:

  • Enabling best-practice care management and auditing practices
  • Wound care/management and pressure area management
  • Roles and responsibilities of Registered Nurses in aged care, facilitated by NZACA Clinical Advisor Rhonda Sherriff.
