SUMMARY:Perth City - Preventing harm from alcohol and other drugs among older adults workshop
DESCRIPTION:Preventing harm from alcohol and other drugs among older adults\nAre you an allied health professional working with older adults? \nAs trusted healthcare providers\, allied health professionals play a crucial role in supporting older adults and are well-positioned to identify and support those at risk of alcohol-related harm. \nAlcohol is one of Australia’s most widely used drugs\, with Australian adults aged over 50 consuming alcohol more regularly than any other age group. In addition to drinking more frequently\, older adults are at greater risk of harm from alcohol due to physiological differences in how older adults metabolise alcohol and the presence of other co-morbidities. \nInjury Matters\, in collaboration with Professor Robert Ali and Professor Steve Allsop\, are delivering these FREE workshops to equip allied health professionals in the Perth Metropolitan area with the knowledge and skills to effectively identify and address alcohol and other drug (AoD) risks in their older adult clients/patients. These in-person workshops will focus on the application of the ASSIST-Lite (Alcohol\, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test) and how to effectively utilise the tool with older adults. The ASSIST-Lite is a world-renowned evidence-based tool that supports a comprehensive approach to identifying and supporting individuals at risk of harm from alcohol and other drugs. \nIt is vital that older adults at heightened risk of alcohol and other drug use are supported to access specialised support and therefore this workshop will provide information and resources to support allied health professionals to ensure that older adults are empowered to access the support that they need. \nPerth Metro workshops:\n• Tuesday 11th February 2025\, 12:30pm – 4:00pm\, and\n• Tuesday 18th February 2025\, 12:30pm – 4:00pm. \nPlease note that you are required to attend both half-day sessions to complete the training. \nFollowing the two half day workshops participants will:\n• Recognise their role in identifying older adults at risk of alcohol and other drug harm and the importance of referring them to appropriate services.\n• Have an increased knowledge about the significance of conducting AoD screenings using the ASSIST-Lite tool.\n• Be skilled in applying the ASSIST-Lite screening tool effectively with older adults.\n• Have an increased confidence to conduct AoD screenings.\n• Be confident to make referrals to local support services when necessary. \n  \nPresenter profiles:\nProfessor Robert Ali\nAssociate Professor Robert Ali AO MBBS FAFPHM FAChAM is one of Australia’s leading alcohol and other drug clinician-researchers. Dr. Ali has extensive knowledge of the ASSIST-lite tool and is very experienced in training health professionals on how to use it. \nProfessor Steve Allsop\nProfessor Allsop has a strong background in workforce development having been director of Clinical Education in two state government AoD services and as Director of a National workforce development centre of excellence. He has also worked on projects focusing on alcohol and the ageing population\, notably supervising an influential PhD in this domain. \nRegister Here  \nComplimentary refreshments and afternoon tea are provided for both workshops. \nBy attending these workshops you can play a vital role in reducing the risk of harm to older adults. \nIf this location and/or dates do not meet your availability\, additional metropolitan workshops are also available. For more information click here. \nThese workshops are delivered by Injury Matters\, thanks to funding provided by Healthway.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT- Acting on the Commercial Determinants of Health for Injury Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Commercial determinants of health are the private sector activities that affect people’s health\, directly or indirectly\, positively\, or negatively; for example\, supply chains\, labour conditions\, product design and packaging\, research funding\, lobbying\, that impact a wide range of risk factors. Related to injury\, these include alcohol use\, physical activity\, injuries on roads and from weapons\, violence\, and mental health conditions. \nAs the Lancet Series on the Commercial Determinants of Health underlines\, many of the most significant risk factors for disease and injury – tobacco\, alcohol\, and unhealthy diet – are major industries and profit-drivers for some of the world’s biggest companies. It is time for a paradigm shift. Public health cannot and will not improve without action on the commercial determinants of health\, from the local to global level. New forms of public health governance are needed. \nBack by popular demand\, this workshop\, designed by Curtin University and in partnership with Injury Matters\, facilitated by Dr. Jonathan Hallett\, explores the impact of commercial determinants of health on injury outcomes in the WA population. The interactive workshop will also explore how to respond as a public health professional\, with advocacy strategies and case study activities. \nCourse Highlights \nCommercial Drivers: Explore the various commercial determinants of health within the injury prevention system in WA.\nEffective Advocacy: Learn strategies to effectively communicate and develop skills to represent public health interests persuasively and responsibly.\nFace-to-Face Workshop: Benefit from a hands-on three-hour workshop in Perth\, where expert facilitators will guide participants through interactive activities and real-world scenarios\, reinforcing key concepts and practices.\nExtended Online Support: Enjoy three months of access to valuable online resources\, including video tutorials\, reading materials\, discussion forums\, and interactive quizzes\, allowing you to continue learning at your own pace. \nWho should attend? \nThis course is ideal for early to mid-career injury prevention/health promotion/public health professionals\, environmental health officers\, community development officers\, and health promotion officers at Local Government bodies\, community health workers\, policy advocates\, and anyone involved in the injury prevention field in Western Australia. \nRegister here
