PROJECT TYPE Continuing Professional Development, Inter-professional Learning

PROJECT DURATION Training dates 1.6.15 to 30.9.15

TARGET AUDIENCE General Practitioners, nurses, midwives, overseas trained doctors, Aboriginal health practitioners/workers and allied health professionals (including Ambulance Officers/Paramedic, Health Promotion Practitioners, Social Work) DESCRIPTION Funding for:

clinical advisor activities;

coordination & liaison with stakeholders to deliver 5x6 hours face to face Blood Borne Virus & Sexually Transmitted Infections training courses in outer regional & remote areas, to be accredited by the RACGP QI&CPD program & by ACCRM Professional Development Program.

The education proposed will address the priority areas of the National Strategies on Hepatitis B, C,

HIV and STIs by increasing the skills of the healthcare workforce, to increase testing and improve

clinical management across BBVs and sexual health. ASHM will work in partnership with the relevant

Medicare Locals/Primary Health Networks and the stakeholders in each location to determine

priorities for information delivery and case study discussion. Local presenters will be engaged

whenever possible and provided support by ASHM clinical advisors.

The aim of this project is to:

This project seeks to reduce the burden of Blood-Borne Virus (BBV) and Sexually Transmitted

Infections (STIs) in rural and remote areas of Australia by providing training to multi-disciplinary

primary care teams in RA 3 (Outer regional) and RA 4 (Remote) areas of Australia. ASHM training

courses and associated resources have been proven in their effectiveness to enact clinical change,

reinforce clinical best practice, increase the knowledge levels of participants and their confidence to

prevent, identify and treat these conditions. Each of the courses is designed to be tailored to the

specific context of each new delivery location in partnership with local medical professionals and in

response to the area's BBV and STI priorities and epidemiology.

The project has three main foci: 1. increasing the rates of testing for those at risk, appropriate management, including treatment and referral as necessary; 2. reducing rates of BBV/STI through prevention; and 3. building the capacity of primary care providers in outer regional and remote areas to continue the on-going delivery of this training in their area, as needed.

The project activities include: .

A total of 4 courses of six hours learning duration will be delivered in outer regional and remote areas that have high rates of particular STIs and /or BBVs but are not currently well-served with educational opportunities.

o These localities will be identified initially using epidemiological data sources, then confirmed by approaching the local/regional Medicare Locals/Primary Health Networks and STI/BBV related tertiary sevices to assess local interest and need.

o Course content will be modified to address local issues identified through stakeholder


consultation. o Course delivery format will be based on local context, it may involve a one day course

or three two hour updates over time. o The face-to-face courses will be provided at local venues found to be acceptable to

the local primary care providers because of location, travel options and

accommodation.

Education activities will be complemented by easy to use resource/reference materials and online learning to reinforce education and ensure activities are sustainable.

The establishment of an ongoing relationship with specialists in the closest centres for referral to each location where training is held will improve access to specialist services through better interprofessional communications. Facilitation of these relationships through initial face-to-face training will support ongoing collaboration.

ASHM is a registered training organisation with expertise in the development and delivery of programs focusing on HIV, viral hepatitis and sexual health. ASHM is an accredited RACGP CPD provider with a proven record of providing effective training in rural and remote Australia. The content of the courses is developed under the guidance of expert reference groups with multi-disciplinary clinical representation, in addition to input from the affected community. These courses are accredited by relevant professional bodies, and participants are eligible for CPD points (GPs, nurses and AHWs).

LIMITED X-RAY LICENCE REFRESHER ONLINE COURSE AND EXTENDED RADIOGRAPHY EXAMINATIONS FOR NON-RADIOLOGISTS ID 130-6 ORGANISATION Department of Rural Health, The University of Newcastle PROJECT TYPE CPD, Multidisciplinary Team, Knowledge Transfer, Inter-professional Learning PROJECT DURATION Training Dates: 1.9.15 to 30.10.15 TARGET AUDIENCE Nurses, GPs, Allied Health Professionals (Radiographers) DESCRIPTION

Funding to develop educational resources (that is: writing Module 7 – Extended Radiography

Examinations, online publishing & launch, video production and captioning of Module 7) for web

based delivery to build on materials & successful Limited Licence Xray Operators project developed

with 2014 RHCE2 grant.

The proposed new materials will address the continuing education needs of licensees and target

examination types that are covered under clause 4 of the NSW licence conditions as well as extended

licences that are issued in other States, such as in Queensland and South Australia.


the resources created for on-line delivery will be enduring well beyond the duration of the project. They will be made available via the on-line continuing education platform [Medical Radiation Online (MRLO)] of the professional body that is responsible for the supporting medical radiation practitioners, the Australian Institute of Radiography.


In relation to the structure and method of delivery of the continuing education, the plan is to be able to offer both the initial training to obtain a limited x-ray licence as well as the follow-up, refresher training via the same site, thus creating continuity.

http://www.ahitlearning.edu.au/

http://www.newcastle.edu.au/



Direct participation in the project will involve 40 to 50 radiographers and limited licence x-ray operators who will be invited to participate in accessing and evaluating the web-based materials on MRLO. Recruitment will be via the AIR's Rural and Remote Practitioners' Advisory Panel (RRPAP) and existing State-based networks. It is intended that the use of these networks will lead to the dissemination of the materials across the limited x-ray operators workforce.

Participants will be able to visit the site repeatedly over extended periods if they wish to refresh their knowledge and skills and will be able to access both the NSW Limited Licence Radiography Course material and Limited X-ray Licence Refresher material.

While the licensing course material is particularly relevant to those GPs and RNs seeking to get a limited x-ray licence in NSW, it also has relevance to those who already have a licence in NSW or in any other Australian State . It is hoped that this initiative will further encourage interstate communication and collaboration in this field. It is intended that the material will be available nationally to those with a limited x-ray licence

o diabetes and high risk foot epidemiology, o high risk for management, o Hansens disease, o foot ulcer pressure offloading, o multidisciplinary foot care teams,

o health promotion.


1) Learning through knowledge transfer in the lecture setting - via "live" lecturing and Video Conferencing with International presenters. 2) Practical demonstrations of various wound management techniques as well as pressure offloading strategies will be demonstrated by trained and experienced demonstrators. Delegates will then be guided through the techniques under supervision of the demonstrators.

http://www.flyingdoctor.org.au/About-Us/Our-Bases/OB-QS/Brisbane-Base/



3) Facilitated problem solving where facilitators will outline various hypothetical (based on real life)

scenarios. Within groups, delegates will use knowledge gleaned from a) prior presentations, and b)

their own common sense to identify practical and efficient solutions to the presented scenario.

Referral and access to tertiary diabetic foot clinics is difficult in many cases due to remoteness. Having

skilled workers on the ground in remote areas is vital for best outcomes in our remote communities.

develop new course content in consultation with multiple stakeholders.

conversion of oral health training material to online delivery system including development of lecture material, webinars, online learning assessment system, tele-mentoring & evaluation systems.

delivery and assessment of Oral Health blended-learning program for remote primary health personnel.


This training program builds on the RHCE2 Stream 5 project (ID 40-5) which developed, implemented

and evaluated multi-day face-to-face oral health training workshops for very remote Aboriginal Health

Workers, nursing personnel and their colleagues in Cape York

This project’s web-based training is using Queensland Health's 'Pathways to Rural and Remote

Orientation and Training' (PaRROT) Program and is supported by 1 day workshops conducted in remote

clinics and regional centers.


The major learning outcomes for the participating organisations will be:

the joint development of an integrated, sustainable and effective web based training program in oral health for remote area Indigenous Health Workers and nursing personnel;

the development of an associated web-based learning assessment system; the development of an associated web-based training review and evaluation system;

the development of web-based mentoring system to support remote health personnel taking up an oral health role; and

greater understanding of the factors influencing the sustainability and scalability of training programs for remote health personnel.

While this training will be available to remote health personnel in general, this training project takes a

team approach to training supporting inter-professional learning. The training program has a focus on

continuing professional development for whole clinics (e.g. the Kowanyama and Pormpuraaw clinics)

and whole teams (e.g. the Apunipima Cape York Health Council Maternal and Child Health Team and

the Queensland Health's Cape York and Torres Strait Maternal and Child Health Teams) to support

sustainable change in health personnel and health service practice.
