Dietitians are embracing Facebook and Twitter to communicate with patients.

Australia’s Accredited Practising Dietitians are sharing healthy eating tips, motivating patients and answering questions while dispelling inaccurate information online.

Sydney APD and nutritionist Julie Markoska has a Twitter account and two Facebook sites where she connects with patients, complete strangers and other allied health professionals.

“There is no doubt about the popularity of social media with the public,” she said.

“Because social media is so widely used and easily accessible, I think it’s a great tool for allied health professionals to disseminate evidence-based health information as well as raise the pro�le of allied health professions in general.

“There is so much health and nutrition misinformation on the internet so this is a useful channel for busting those myths and providing accurate, reliable health information.”

Ms Markoska said using social media, including her sites www.facebook.com/JulieMarkoska.DietitianandNutritionist and @juliemarkoska, had helped to boost her pro�le while keeping her up to date with the public’s nutritional concerns.

She said questions from her patients and the public often covered a range of issues about food, supplements and diets.

“It is quite varied and usually involves lots of myth busting,” she said.

“Are bananas okay for weight loss, is it okay to eat fruit when trying to lose weight, what do I think of L-Carnitine as a supplement,

low carbohydrate high protein diets, (and) do oranges really help with iron absorption?”

Melbourne APD Melanie McGrice said she offered a weekly health kick chat on Facebook, with a dietitian online every Thursday between 1 and 2pm at www.facebook.com/HealthKickNutrition, enabling people to write in and ask questions on nutrition.

Ms McGrice said the new initiative was launched at the start of the year and already has about 400 followers.

“There’s a lot of misinformation in the press,” she said.

“People are confused. People know that they can trust dietitians and so they appreciate getting accurate, evidence-based answers to their questions.”

In an Australian �rst, an Associate Degree in Dementia Care will be launched later this year online and across UTAS campuses at Sydney and throughout Tasmania.

An initiative of the University of Tasmania’s Faculty of Health Science and the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre, the Associate Degree will be limited to just 120 student places.

There are no student fees for those currently working in community or aged care services, who are members of Aged and Community Services Australia in Tasmania, New South Wales or the ACT and who enrol with the support of their workplace.

Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre executive of�cer Diana Carter said the Associate Degree was an important initiative for the entire health care workforce, from personal care assistants to enrolled nurses, registered nurses, directors of nursing and CEOs through to GPs.

“In an ageing population, we need to build capacity in our aged care workforce, and ensure high quality evidence-based care research is translated in to improved care for people with dementia,” she said.

“As the aged care workforce is set to expand to meet the needs of our communities, it will provide an opportunity for Aged and Community Services Australia members in NSW, ACT and Tasmania in the �rst year, to provide the very best approach to care.”

The Associate Degree will cover the concepts of normal ageing, diseases causing dementia, associated behaviours along with techniques and strategies for caring for people with dementia in a bid to improve care for many

older people and those in the �nal stages of life.

The part-time Associate Degree includes 16 units and will take 2.5 years to complete.

The pioneering Associate Degree comes as the Federal Government has invested more than $600,000 to fund a nurse practitioner with a specialist dementia focus to provide health care to older Tasmanians.

Ms Carter said the project aligned with the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre’s research in the �eld of building dementia health service delivery to the highest standard through evidence-based practice.

“A nurse practitioner can enable diagnosis of people with dementia through two comprehensive consultations giving access to services and enabling advance care planning opportunities with their GP and other health professionals,” she said.

Ms Carter said the centre was also conducting a world-�rst study that tests whether tertiary education later in life has a protective effect on the brain, possibly delaying or preventing the onset of dementia.

People who are aged 50-79 studying at UTAS can volunteer to be a part of the Tasmanian Healthy Brain Project.

New South Wales’ nurses are being warned they face losing essential workers compensation rights and cuts to bene�ts, under planned State Government changes to the Workers Compensation Scheme.

The New South Wales’ Nurses’ Association is urging nurses to join a rally of union workers on June 13 at Parliament House to protest the attack on nurses’ rights.

NSWNA general secretary Brett Holmes has delivered a video message on the union’s website, calling for nurses to take action.

“The O’Farrell Government plans to severely cut workers’ compensation payments to injured workers,” he said.

“If these changes go ahead they will affect everyone in New South Wales.

“Nursing, as you well know, is a profession with many inherent hazards that can often lead to debilitating and permanent workplace injuries.

“The changes are cruel and mean spirited.”

Mr Holmes said the changes include removing coverage for trips to and from work, a reduction in weekly payments for injured workers, a cap on weekly payments and medical payments and preventing partners of those killed at work being compensated for nervous shock.

He said the changes would also halt lump sum payments for pain and suffering and make it harder to prove employer negligence in lump sum claims.

One of the faces of the campaign is nurse Emily Orchard who popped two discs in her back while another compressed a nerve, as she performed CPR on a patient.

Ms Orchard has undergone four operations over �ve years and is now battling to return to work.

The NSWNA has thrown its support behind Unions NSW, under the campaign title NSW for All, which has launched an advertising blitz in opposition to the changes.

Mr Holmes urged nurses to take part in the June 13 rally.

“The time has come to act again to show the O’Farrell Government that we are not taking their attacks on the rights of workers of New South Wales without a �ght,” he said.

“This day is signi�cant. This is the day the inquiry by the government will be released…that may also mean these changes are pushed through parliament.”

New statistics have revealed how long patients are waiting for cancer surgery at Australia’s public hospitals.

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare data, recently published on the MyHospitals website for the �rst time, shows waiting times for people who received elective surgery for a range of cancers, including bladder, bowel, breast, gynaecological, kidney, lung, melanoma and prostate cancer between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011.

Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek said the information enabled patients to �nd out more about their local services while also helping to drive improvements in hospital performance.

Ms Plibersek said the development of national benchmarks, which were recently agreed to by health ministers, would enable each hospital’s performance to be compared.

“The length of time patients wait for surgery to treat cancer can make a critical difference to their wellbeing,” she said.

“Waiting times for various types of cancer surgery can differ according to the urgency placed on treating the disease.

“For example, lung and breast cancer generally have shorter waiting times for surgery than prostate cancer.”

At Victoria’s Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute, the median waiting time for bladder cancer surgery was 64 days, there was a 24 day wait for bowel, seven days for breast, 17 days for kidney, 14 days for melanoma and 33 days for prostate.

Geelong Hospital had a 25 day median wait for bladder cancer surgery, 11 days for bowel, seven days for breast, 67 days for gynaecological, 29 days for kidney, 11 days

for lungs, nine days for melanoma and 57 days for prostate.

In Tasmania, the Royal Hobart Hospital had a 25 day median wait for bladder cancer, 24 days for bowel, eight days for breast, 16 days for gynaecological, 11 days for lung, 13 days for melanoma and 28 days for prostate.

South Australia’s Flinders Medical Centre recorded a median wait for bowel cancer of 13 days, 18 days for breast, 29 days for gynaecological and 18 days for melanoma cancer.

In Western Australia, Fremantle Hospital recorded a 21 day median wait for bladder cancer, 24 days for bowel, 27 days for kidney, eight days for lung, 24 days for melanoma cancer and 29 days for prostate.

The Royal Darwin Hospital in the Northern Territory had a 34 day median wait for bladder cancer surgery, 14 days for bowel, 16 days for breast, 22 days for gynaecological and 16 days for melanoma cancer.

Queensland’s Rockhampton Base Hospital had an 18 day wait for bladder cancer, 21 days for bowel, 16 days for breast, 20 days for gynaecological and 20 days for melanoma.

New South Wales’ Princes of Wales Hospital recorded a 21 day wait for bladder, 13 days for bowel, 13 days for breast, 23 days for kidney, 14 days for melanoma and 30 days for prostate.

Cancer surgery stats revealedby Karen Keast

An extra 100 child health nurses will be employed in Western Australia over the next four years in a bid to bolster the number of children receiving health checks and immunisations.

The State Government has revealed it will provide $58.5 million to non-government organisations to employ the additional community health nurses.

Health Minister Kim Hames said the extra nurses would ensure more newborns had an initial assessment within 10 days of birth and an extra �ve assessment contacts with child health services before beginning primary school.

“Our goal is to boost the number of child health checks undertaken to help prevent chronic disease,” he said.

The injection of child health nurses comes after statistics revealed there was just one child health nurse for every 1000 children under the age of six in WA.

Figures show there are just 198 full-time equivalent child health nurse positions and another 105 child health nurses are needed over the next �ve years to avoid a major shortfall.

WA’s child health services has undergone three parliamentary inquiries since 2009 and a damning Auditor-General’s report found just 30 per cent of 18-month-olds and nine per cent of three-year-olds were receiving their recommended checks.

A Human Rights Commission report has revealed discrimination is rife against New Zealand’s 48,000 aged care workers.

Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Dr Judy McGregor, who went undercover for a week to work in an aged care facility, has released a report titled Caring Counts, Tautiaki tika, which recommends a raft of solutions to �x the crisis in the nation’s aged care sector.

Dr McGregor said the inquiry found a serious inequity in pay rates with care workers in the community, funded by District Health Boards through providers, often paid $3 to $5 an hour less than caring staff directly employed by the DHB.

“Affordability cannot be used (as) an excuse to delay sorting pay inequalities for aged care workers who are being discriminated against,” Dr McGregor said.

“There are legal obligations relating to pay equality and for far too long we have exploited the emotional goodwill of thousands of workers, predominantly women.

“Inaction means we’re condoning a fundamental breach of human rights.

“New Zealand cannot afford to ignore this clear injustice for a large group of low paid but much needed workers, given the demographic tide of older people and the shortfall of people required to look after them.”

Dr McGregor said the nation’s mostly female aged care workforce undertakes “indispensable but largely invisible employment every day”.

The Commission gathered evidence from 886 participants over a year-long period, with all but two, who were managers for a residential

aged care provider, calling for higher pay and more status for those who work as carers.

The report recommended a series of solutions including pay parity, a fair travel policy, the voluntary safety standard to become compulsory and a stakeholder summit.

The New Zealand Nurses Organisation has applauded the report and called for an overhaul of the sector.

Industrial adviser Rob Haultain said the report con�rmed what the organisation had long been �ghting for.

“Unions have been campaigning for minimum safe staf�ng levels so that every resident gets the care they need, when they need it, for fair pay and conditions for aged care workers so their work is valued at the same level as health workers in public hospitals,” he said.

Nurses have once again trumped the annual poll as the most ethical and honest profession in Australia.

For the 18th year in a row, the Roy Morgan Image of Professions survey of 30 professions found 90 per cent of people, unchanged from the 2011 survey, aged 14 and over rate nurses as the most highly regarded profession, with pharmacists coming a close second at 88 per cent, doctors at 83 per cent and school teachers at 76 per cent.

Both federal and state politicians have taken a dive in the poll but the two biggest drops were lawyers, at 30 per cent, and ministers of religion, at 43 per cent; both were down 8 per cent on last year.

At the bottom end of the poll were insurance brokers and federal and state MPs, all at 10 per cent, agents at 9 per cent, advertising people at 8 per cent and car salesmen recording the lowest rating at 2 per cent.

The research poll surveyed 651 men and women via phone on the nights of May 9 and 10.

Gary Morgan, of Roy Morgan Research, said while 18 professions recorded falls in their ratings and ethics for the past year, health-related professions once again topped the poll.

“Nurses still lead the way as Australia’s most respected profession for very high or high ethics and honesty,” he said.

“Other professions in the medical �eld once again scored well with high ratings for ethics and honesty including pharmacists (88 per cent, up 1 per cent), doctors (83 per cent, down 4 per cent) and dentists (75 per cent, down 1 per cent).

80 people from across Australia gathered in Mackay on Friday May 18th to celebrate 10 years of success for Mackay nursing recruitment agency CQ Nurse. The celebration, held at CQ Nurse Headquarters on Nebo Rd, was an opportunity for the impressive organisation to reflect on their achievements and say thanks to those who have contributed to a decade in business. Party go-ers included past and present staff members, agency nurses, CQ Nurse suppliers, family members and many friends. From humble beginnings in 2002, CQ Nurse has become the name synonymous with rural, remote and regional nursing Australia wide, born from the vision of Kim Estell who remains the director today.A nurse herself, Ms Estell decided to go out on her own to create an Australian renowned organisation that recognised and rewarded its’ employees and treated members of the nursing profession with the upmost respect. “I wanted to create an agency that covered all of Australia that had great integrity and genuinely cared about its’ workers and the people they cared for. That vision has never changed,” Ms Estell said.

10 years on, CQ Nurse has 500 active nurses on their books and employs nearly 30 in house staff. The company has also grown to include three new divisions; CQ Health Assess and Workplace Immunisation, which is a mobile workplace health screening practice, CQ Continuing Professional Development, providing education Webinars and Seminars for health professionals and CQ Community In Home Care which offers individual and specialised care for those in need. With only four per cent of small business enterprises that started in 2002 surviving until today (Australian Bureau of Statistics) CQ Nurse has certainly proved its’ staying power. According to Ms Estell the secret to success is the people.“It’s not me, every person who walks through the door has contributed in some way.”While the crew at CQ Nurse have hung up their party shoes for now, planning is already underway to mark 20 years - and you know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun!

CQ Birthday Bash

Darwin nurse Wendy Rogers began forging her career as a theatre nurse in 1995 after working as a general and surgical nurse for a decade. She speaks to Nina Hendy about the challenges of her work.

Wendy Rogers always knew a career as a nurse would give her the challenges she craved from her professional life. She launched into enrolled nurse training in 1984 before tackling her Bachelor of Nursing in the 1990s and then her post graduate nurse training.

Throughout her training, Wendy was exposed to a variety of exciting nursing roles, including theatre and emerging nursing. She knew that she wanted to �nd a nursing niche that would enable her to travel with her work, saying she and her partner had a vision that they wanted to start moving around the country to �nd a place they could call home. Not long after that they moved from South Australia to the Northern Territory, securing work in East Arnhem Land as a theatre nurse at a small country hospital.

“This was back in the days when it was hard to get a job as a nurse. I was doing a lot of training along the way, as well as learning skills on the job over the years and loving the work,” Wendy says.

She decided theatre nursing was for her, accepting a role at the Royal Darwin Hospital eight years ago, which is the major hospital for most of the Northern Territory. This is where she remains today.

The hospital boasts seven operating theatres and another two theatres are currently under construction.

These days, Wendy splits her full time role at the hospital between theatre nursing and her clinical nurse educator role, which sees her fronting a classroom full of new nursing faces needing guidance about the role of a modern day nurse. She has also started relieving the unit manager as required in another step up in her career.

Not afraid of hard work, Wendy also heads up the recently created Australian medical

Theatre nurse sheds light on the jobby Nina Hendy

assistance team, based at the Royal Darwin Hospital. This team was formed about 18 months ago and is ready to respond to either natural or manmade disasters within the region as required.

She selected �ve nurses to accompany her in the program, three of which have less than three years’ operating experience but have proven their passion in this �eld and hence have obtained the skills they need in a quick period, she says.

“The program has worked well as a reward program for some of our brightest talent and will give us all exposure to a work experience unlike any other if and when we are needed.”

While her roles are divided up depending on where she’s needed each week, Wendy says she works with a really great team, making her job extremely rewarding.

“When you’re a theatre nurse, you change in to your theatre clothes at the start of your shift and you often stay inside for the entire day, just working with the others in your team until the end of the shift.”

Theatre nursing has ful�lled her unlike anything else, she says.

“Apart from the satisfaction of improving the quality of life of many individuals and saving lives on a day to day basis, I also enjoy teaching our new graduate nurses and seeing them succeed.

“It can be hard to explain what it’s like to be able to improve the quality of life for people

as a theatre nurse, whereas when you’re a nurse on a ward you may not always be able to solve an issue or �x an illness. That’s where theatre nursing is so different.”

But Wendy is well aware of the issues facing the country’s theatre nurse fraternity. Extensive waiting lists around the country continue to place huge pressure on the system and patients, which remains an issue year after year, she says.

There are also big issues recruiting nursing staff in to a theatre nursing role, she says.

A dif�cult part of the job as a theatre nurse can be trying to save a young person who has sustained life-threatening injuries in an accident and not being able to save them, she says.

“An experience like that can leave a real emptiness, however there is a lot of support available for those to have been through challenging experiences.”

One of the main issues discussed at a nursing conference she recently attended was the pitfalls in the current nurse training programs, which robs many new graduates of vital on the job experience ahead of landing a role. “A lot of nurses opt for administration roles from around 50 years of age, which also means we’re losing all that experience as an industry.”

But for Wendy, nursing gives her incredible variety and is extremely ful�lling. “There’s nothing else I’d rather be doing,” she says.
