SUMMARY:Feet and Falls – exploring the link between foot health and falls risk in older adults
DESCRIPTION:Older adults are at a higher risk of foot related health problems that increase their risk of falling. Foot health can affect an older adults’ posture\, stability\, balance\, and walking pattern\, influencing the risk of falls. A diagnosis of diabetes is a big risk factor to foot health\, with recent studies also linking peripheral neuropathy and falls. Join Injury Matters\, in partnership with Podiatry WA\, in an online webinar training as we explore key risk factors to foot health and falls; we will hear from Christine Morton from Diabetes WA on the risk of diabetes and falls in older adults\, and Deb Schoen on peripheral neuropathy and falls in older adults. \nThis training aims to: \n\nIncrease knowledge of the link between foot health and falls prevention\nIncrease awareness of diabetes as a risk factor for foot health and symptoms to look out for in older adults\nIncrease skills in identifying peripheral neuropathy as a risk factor for falls in older adults and strategies to overcome them\nIncrease awareness of appropriate resources to support foot health in older adults\n\nThis webinar is suitable for early/mid career podiatrists\, general practitioners\, allied health nurses and aged care nurses/workers. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Elder abuse recognition and response in older adult clients online workshop
DESCRIPTION:Elder abuse is a serious public health issue\, estimated to affect 1 in 20 older adults in Western Australia. It can take many forms\, including financial\, social\, physical\, sexual\, psychological\, and emotional abuse\, and can occur in a range of different settings. Elder abuse can have ongoing health impacts on an individual\, such as physical injury\, poor mental health\, and increased risk of placement in residential aged care. \nAs with many forms of abuse\, it can be difficult for an individual experiencing elder abuse to speak out. It is vital that health and community professionals working with older adults in WA carry the skills to recognise and respond to elder abuse to ensure the safety of their clients. \nJoin Injury Matters\, with guest facilitator Shawnee Van Poeteren from Advocare for the ‘Elder abuse recognition and response in older adult clients’ online workshop\, where we will explore: \n\nElder abuse and its impact on older adults\nHow to recognise and respond to elder abuse\nOptions for clients experiencing elder abuse\nThe Elder Abuse Protocol and 5-step approach for action against elder abuse\nElder abuse policy and procedure for organisations\nAdvocare and how they can assist you\n\nWho should attend? \nThis training is for anyone working with older adults\, including home care service providers\, carers and support workers\, community workers\, and health and allied health professionals. \nOnline workshop access requirements \nThis interactive workshop will be run on the Zoom Meeting Platform and will involve being placed in a breakout room to participate in group case study reviews and discussions.
