SUMMARY:Occupational Therapy home safety interventions for falls prevention
DESCRIPTION:Over half of all falls-related hospitalisations in Western Australia occur within homes\, where older adults spend much of their time. Falls prevention in and around the home is crucial to prevent falls-related injury and many falls can be prevented by making small changes to an older adults’ home environment. An Occupational Therapist (OT) can assist older adults to stay safe and independent by: \n\nAssessing an older adult’s activities of daily living and ability to carry out everyday tasks around the home\nAssessing for fall hazards and applying hazard-reduction strategies and environmental safety adaptations\n\nThis workshop\, for early career OT or OTs that want to work in the aged care sector\, will explore comprehensive risk assessments for falls prevention interventions for older adult clients\, including falls hazard identification and reduction\, and how to use a home modification assessment. This training will also look at resources OTs can use\, as well as identifying when to refer and work collaboratively with other clinical health professionals when working with older adults in WA. \nWorkshop Facilitators: \n\nFaye Baker: Occupational Therapist\, Sir Charles Gairdner Osborne Park Health Care Group\nSharon Summers: Senior Occupational Therapist\, Sir Charles Gairdner Osborne Park Health Care Group\nKristie Harper: Research Coordinator | Occupational Therapy\, Sir Charles Gairdner Osborne Park Health Care Group\n\nWho should attend? \nThis workshop is targeted at early career Occupational Therapists currently working or wanting to work in the aged care sector. \nRegister your spot here! \nThis Stay On Your Feet® workshop is provided by Injury Matters and funded by the Western Australian Department of Health.

SUMMARY:Joining forces: Strengthening the collaborative approach to community-based falls prevention
DESCRIPTION:Injury Matters is proud to be hosting the pre-conference workshop Joining forces: Strengthening the collaborative approach to community-based falls prevention at the upcoming Australia and New Zealand Falls Prevention Society & World Falls Congress 2023 Joint Conference in Perth. \nEstablishing cohesive falls prevention pathways for older adults living in the community is integral to achieving positive patient outcomes for falls. The diverse risk factors for falls call for a multidisciplinary approach and the implementation of collaborative strategies within healthcare to ensure a coordinated and effective approach to falls prevention care in the community. This workshop will enable participants to connect with a range of international health professionals working in falls prevention\, learn from the perspectives of other health disciplines\, and identify strategies for strengthening the collaborative approach to falls prevention in the community setting. \nCommunity-based falls pathways \nWorkshop participants will be taken on the journey of community-based falls prevention pathways through older adult client case studies. Participants will explore the challenges and opportunities unique to differing health disciplines\, strategies for improving communication and collaboration\, and opportunities for integrated care in falls prevention pathways. Participants will also receive a unique opportunity to hear from an older adult community member\, who will share their perspective and experience of navigating the health system for falls prevention. \nPractical application of multidisciplinary case conferencing \nThis workshop will introduce the principles of multidisciplinary case conferencing as a collaborative approach to falls assessment and intervention in the community. Participants will work within interprofessional groups to apply multidisciplinary case conferencing strategies among older adult client case studies. \nConsolidated learning \nParticipants will leave the workshop with their own action plan for implementing collaborative falls prevention care in their respective healthcare settings. Consolidated workshop and group work notes will be disseminated to all participants following the conference to support the application of ideas and concepts learned. \nWho should attend? \nThis workshop is suitable for community-based health professionals\, including Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists\, Podiatrists\, Pharmacists\, Occupational Therapists\, Nutritionists and Dietitians\, Optometrists\, Nurses\, and GPs. \nRegister here \nThis Stay On Your Feet® workshop is provided by Injury Matters and funded by the Western Australian Department of Health. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Creating inclusive spaces for people with disability
DESCRIPTION:Individuals with disability have the right to access services and public spaces with ease and without discrimination. Inclusion is the best method to ensure people with disabilities are given the same opportunities to participate in society across social\, educational\, and employment settings. Social inclusion is particularly important for people with disability\, where lacking access to crucial health services and not being able to access social events can lead to adverse health effects and social exclusion\, which can lead to physical and mental injuries. \n\n23% of people with disability aged 15-64 have difficulty getting to places needed\n39% of people with disability are not satisfied with their local community\n1 in 6 (17%) people with disability aged 15-64 experience social isolation\n\nInclusive spaces for people with disability is important to consider\, especially in light of the upcoming International Day of People with Disability on 3rd December 2023. Injury Matters\, in partnership with Paraplegic Benefit Fund\, are hosting an informative webinar for health professionals\, organisations\, design planners and Local Government bodies who are planning for their upcoming International Day of People with Disability events. This webinar will explore ways to create inclusive spaces and events for people with disability. Inclusive spaces not only benefit organisations\, but also improve health outcomes for people with disability and prevent injury outcomes in WA. \nRegister here
