Workshop 2: Mental health is everybody’s business

Physical and mental health are inextricably entwined. For example, rates of depression are higher for people with medical conditions such as asthma, heart disease, hypertension, cancer and diabetes. Anxiety and panic effects 15% of the Australian population!

ED work is intense and demanding involving a significant amount of emotional labour. This has implications for the mental health of the ED workforce.

This workshop details a range of therapeutic response strategies and techniques based on solution focused therapy than can be applied broadly to people in distress including patients and our colleagues. Current research on what are the main determinants of mental health and wellbeing will be presented.

Principles of solution focused therapy will be introduced with examples for how this can be used during brief interactions in clinical practice. Suggestions and scripts for responding to people in distress ‘on the run’ (regardless of the underlying cause) will be presented. A take home cheat sheet or two will be included. Self-care strategies and health information for addressing the mental health needs of our patients and ourselves will be discussed.

Participants will brainstorm responses to a range of clinical situations they may encounter at the bedside, in the waiting room, or on their tea break in the staff room.

Facilitator:

  • Tim Wand, Professor of Nursing (Mental Health) University of Wollongong and Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District

Workshop 3: Plugging Holes in Paediatrics

 

This workshop will improve emergency clinicians’ confidence and skills in inserting and managing tubes in paediatric patients, including tracheostomy tubes, nasogastric tubes, and PEGs. This will involve a brief overview of anatomy, equipment and tube management, followed by practical skills stations where participants will have opportunity for hands on training with experienced paediatric trained emergency nurses. Specialised task trainers created using advanced 3D printing technology will be used to enable clinicians to develop skills in a realistic simulated environment.
