SUMMARY:Patient preferences matter: how practice nurses can support advance care planning
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNWMPHN and Northern Health have partnered to offer practice nurses the opportunity to learn more about the importance of advance care planning and how to incorporate these principles into clinical practice. \n\n\n\nAdvance care planning (ACP) allows people to prepare for a future situation in which they may no longer be able to make their own medical or health care decisions. Practice nurses have the opportunity to begin discussions about this difficult topic and align the goals and preferences of the people they know best. Proactive communication and normalising these conversations are essential. Although some people will not engage\, others will want to know more and even write information down in an advance care directive. This workshop aims to build confidence\, capacity and capability\, and aligns with the message of National Advance Care Planning Week: “Make your choices matter”. There will be opportunities for questions and case discussion about your experiences within the session. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nElla Critchley is the program manager of Northern Health ACP. She has over 20 years of experience in the health care industry. Ella is an experienced nurse leader with a strong sense of integrity who effectively and enthusiastically supports clinicians in understanding ACP. Ella She a Master of Healthy Ageing and builds strong\, positive and meaningful relationships.  \n\n\n\nDr Hao Zhuo is a geriatrician and palliative medicine physician working across Melbourne through Northern Health and Melbourne City Mission Palliative Care. Hao has joined the Northern Health ACP program to encourage discussion and understanding to promote person-centred care through shared decision-making. \n\n\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe the principles of shared decision-making and informed consent\, and how this applies when treating patients\n\n\n\nDescribe the purpose and process of Advance Care Planning to one of your practice patients\n\n\n\nIdentify the correct Medical Treatment Decision Maker for each of your patients

SUMMARY:Workshop 2: St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne (SVHM) CareSynergy - Barriers to Discharge from Specialist Clinics
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSt Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne (SVHM) invites GPs to attend 2 workshops (25th March and 27th May 2025) to explore barriers to discharge from specialist clinics and associated interventions to overcome these barriers. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, they developed resources to facilitate ‘Supported Discharge’ from specialist clinics for patients with chronic Hep B (not on treatment) and those who had undergone bariatric surgery. These resources drew on established guidelines and input from our gastroenterology and bariatric surgery teams to develop handover tools. \n\n\n\nThis work highlighted the broad range of barriers to discharge\, and served as a prompt for St Vincent’s current project ‘Supported Discharge from Specialist Clinics’: A Study of Feasibility and Anticipated Value\, which is funded by Eastern Melbourne PHN’s CareSynergy Program. CareSynergy is aimed at improving integration between hospitals and primary care across the North East Metro. \n\n\n\nThe SVHM CareSynergy project is undertaking stakeholder consultation (including GP workshops) and other research to identify \n\n\n\n– barriers to discharge from clinics\, and \n\n\n\n– resources/interventions/relationships which overcome these barriers \n\n\n\nWe will then develop a model(s) of care which incorporates these adaptations. \n\n\n\nThe project seeks to promote a sense of collaboration between hospitals and primary care\, contribute to the efficient utilisation of specialist clinics and optimise access for additional patients requiring non-GP specialist assessment/care. \n\n\n\nWorkshop Details: \n\n\n\n\nWorkshop 1 – identifying barriers and proposing solutions\n\n8:30 am – 11 am\, Tuesday 25th of March 2025\n\n\n\nSt Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne\, Fitzroy Campus\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop 2 – review of proposed care model(s)\n\n8:30 am – 10:30\, Tuesday 27th of May 2025\n\n\n\nSt Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne\, Fitzroy Campus OR via Microsoft Teams meeting (to be decided)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will be remunerated for your time at a rate of $150/hour (+GST) including 0.5 hours of pre-reading. \n\n\n\nIf you are interested and available to attend\, please reply via rachael.sutherland@svha.org.au or to joint project leads Cath White catherine.white@svha.org.au and Meg Marmo meg.marmo@svha.org.au. for this event.
