Former nurse applauds clinical trials of medical cannabisBy Karen Keast

It’s the announcement retired nurse Lucy Ha-

slam and her family has been waiting to hear.

The New South Wales government has an-

nounced plans to establish a clinical trial of medi-

cal cannabis for patients suffering from a range of

debilitating or terminal illnesses.

Premier Mike Baird announced the clinical

trial in parliament and said police will be able to

continue to use their discretion to

not charge terminally ill adults

using cannabis - which

will be formalised in

new guidelines.

Lucy, who has

waged a pub-

lic campaign to

legalise medi-

cal cannabis,

labelled the

announcement

“exciting”.

“It’s a very

good outcome to

have the govern-

ment come on board

and finally they are going

to start treating this a bit seri-

ously, getting behind it - it’s just been

such a long time coming,” she said.

“Mike Baird is such an amazingly unaffected

politician, he’s a really decent human-being and

now that he wants to drive it, I think it’s in good

hands.

“I think they are going to take their time and

get it right but not too much time, they’ve given

themselves until the end of the year as the dead-

line to have things sorted out, so that’s pretty

good.

“We have had lots of obstacles thrown up in

our way and finally I feel like they’ve all settled

down and I think Mike Baird is truly going to make

this happen.”

Lucy and her husband, a former drug squad

police officer, have been fighting to decriminalise

the medical use of cannabis after their son Daniel,

24, began using cannabis to overcome nausea,

vomiting and poor appetite as a result of the chem-

otherapy used to treat his terminal bowel cancer.

The Tamworth family launched an online

campaign to decriminalise medical cannabis,

which has received more than 196,000 signatures

of support.

The Victorian government is also removing

legislative barriers to clinical trials of medial can-

nabis, while Western Australia has called for a

national approach to trials.

Lucy said it’s vital to have a national ap-

proach to legalising medical cannabis.

“We have got to drive this nationally now,

it’s silly to have people being disadvantaged by

where they live,” she said.

“I just want to make sure that they get this

right - they’re still talking about quantities that

aren’t really going to cater for people who are

treating cancer with cannabis.

“They have got to get that right and then ulti-

mately to drive it around the country.”

The NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association

(NSWNMA) Council has supported the Haslam

family’s fight.

Medical cannabis is legal and regulated in

the United States, Canada and several Europe-

an countries where it’s used to alleviate symp-

toms for Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis,

Crohn’s Disease, and other chronic pain and post

traumatic stress disorders.

There’s growing calls for Australia to send a

contingent of nurses, doctors and other health

workers as part of a coordinated international

response to the Ebola epidemic sweeping East

Africa.

As the World Health Organisation (WHO)

estimates at least 2630 people have died in the

outbreak, which has spread throughout Sierra

Leone, Guinea and Liberia and also reached Ni-

geria and Senegal, the Australian Nursing and

Midwifery Federation (ANMF) has called on the

government to provide more support to the inter-

national fight against the Ebola crisis.

ANMF federal secretary Lee Thomas labelled

the epidemic “a humanitarian crisis of epic pro-

portions”.

“As the disease continues to spread across

countries throughout West Africa, we are greatly

concerned that the lack of protective equipment

means that nurses, doctors and other health care

workers who are fighting on the frontline, are be-

ing exposed to this deadly disease,” she said in

a statement.

“In addition to financial assistance, we are

calling on the government to take direct action

by committing trained personnel to a coordinated

international, emergency response.

“This is what’s desperately needed to treat

the victims of the disease, ensure the protection

of health care workers on the ground and to stop

the disease from spreading even further across

West Africa.”

The Australian Medical Association (AMA)

has called on the government to urgently coordi-

nate the recruitment and deployment of volunteer

doctors and other health professionals to West

Africa, and to provide ongoing support, including

protective and medical equipment and supplies.

Nurses and health professionals from Aus-

tralia and New Zealand have been assisting on the

Ebola frontline as part of the international Red

Cross response.

There are now four Australian Red Cross aid

workers, including nurses and other health pro-

fessionals, working in West Africa while several

more Australian health professionals are expect-

ed to join the Ebola response in the coming days.

Red Cross aid workers on the ground in West

Africa wear full personal protection equipment

(PPE) from overalls and goggles to two pairs of

gloves and apron gumboots, and receive special-

ised training on arrival.

The Federal Government has announced it

will provide an extra $7 million to support the in-

ternational response to the Ebola outbreak but at

this stage has no plans to send Australian health

workers to the region.

Ms Thomas said large numbers of health

care professionals with appropriate clinical skills

are desperately needed to combat the disease.

“The Australian government must ensure that

our nurses and doctors on the ground in West

Africa are provided with protective clothing and

equipment to ensure their health and safety, and

they must guarantee the safe evacuation of nurs-

es and doctors from the region if needed,” she

said.

With health care workers reported to com-

prise about 10 per cent of the Ebola deaths, Ms

Thomas urged Australian nurses wanting to pro-

vide assistance to be cautious.

“It is admirable that Australian nurses are

joining in the international fight against the Eb-

ola crisis and we are urging them to ensure they

make arrangements through reputable aid agen-

cies,” she said.

WHO figures show the deadly viral disease

has infected at least 5357 people.

Woman fined for pretending to be a registered nurse

A Queensland woman has been fined $7000

for pretending to be a registered nurse and nurse

practitioner for three years.

Sherri Cather, 64, of Alexandra Hills pleaded

guilty in the Brisbane Magistrates’ Court on Sep-

tember 18 to using titles such as nurse, registered

nurse and nurse practitioner - all titles protected

under the National Law.

Cather’s false claim was uncovered when

her employer searched for her registration on the

public national register of health practitioners, in

a bid to check the details of a certificate she had

supplied.

Pretending to be a registered health practi-

tioner is an offence under the Health Practitioner

Regulation National Law.

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation

Agency (AHPRA) prosecuted Cather after its own

investigation revealed she supplied forged cer-

tificates to her current and previous employers,

stating that she was a registered nurse.

In a statement, AHPRA said Cather had also

presented herself as being a nurse during her

employment.

But the organisation found Cather had never

been registered with the Nursing and Midwifery

Board of Australia, which was established under

National Law.

“Nor did she ever hold registration as a

nurse in a state or territory of Australia under

the nursing registration schemes that existed in

each state and territory prior to the implementa-

tion of the National Registration and Accredita-

tion Scheme (the National Scheme) from 1 July

2010,” it states.

“She (Cather) conceded in court that while she

had completed some nursing training in New South

Wales and Victoria, she has no formal qualifications.

“The offences were brought under the Na-

tional Law, which started on 1 July 2010.

“But Ms Cather admitted that her conduct

extended back to 1991 when she first pretended

to be a registered nurse.”

Cather was fined $7000 plus ordered to pay

costs of more than $700.

Dr Lynette Cusack, chair of the Nursing

and Midwifery Board of Australia, said the case

served as a warning to employers to check the

registration of all nurses and midwives they em-

ploy on the public register.

“Under the National Law, public safety is

paramount and the Board won’t tolerate anyone

pretending to be registered when they are not,”

Dr Cusack stated.

The public register, featured on the AHPRA

website, lists the 619,000 health practitioners

across Australia who are registered to practise

within the scope of their registration.419-029 1/4PG PDF

Dietitian awarded for childhood obesity research

A New South Wales dietitian has been recog-

nised for her research into child obesity, dietary

assessment and food addiction.

Dr Tracy Burrows, an Advanced Accredited

Practising Dietitian and University of Newcastle

(UoN) researcher, recently received the top ac-

colade in the Medicine and Medical Sciences

category of the Scopus Young Researcher of the

Year Awards.

The fifth awards, part of an Else-

vier global initiative to recognise

outstanding young scientists

and researchers in the

Australasian region, this

year applauded the

achievements of 17

young scientists, at

the Australasian Re-

search Management

Society’s (ARMS)

14th annual confer-

ence.

“People don’t often

associate dietetics with

science,” Dr Burrows recently

told UoN.

“But nutrition is science, and I’m re-

ally happy it’s starting to get noticed as such.”

The award is the latest achievement for the

Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) re-

searcher from the University of Newcastle’s Pri-

ority Research Centre for Physical Activity and

Nutrition.

Earlier this year, Dr Burrows was shortlisted

for the L’Oreal Women in Science Fellowship.

Dr Burrows was a contributor of a team rec-

ognised with a 2014 award from the World Health

Organisation (WHO) for excellence in obesity

prevention and she was also acknowledged for

her work in the Healthy Dads Healthy Kids com-

munity-based campaign, rolled out at a number

of schools in the state, which was credited with

improving physical and mental health outcomes.

Dr Burrows’ research has mainly focused

on childhood obesity and her recent research,

as part of an international collaboration of aca-

demics in psychology, biochemistry and medical

radiation imaging fields, investigated food addic-

tion and whether addiction to foods high in salt,

fat and sugar could be contributing to

the obesity epidemic.

“If we can prove that food

addiction is real, then we

can also show cause for

the behavioural com-

ponents of obesity,”

she stated.

“It could be that

treatments need to be

reworked so they hit

these targets as well

as the more obvious

diet and physical activity

ones.”

Dr Burrows has also stud-

ied the feasibility of targeting Hunt-

Pharmacy trial moves into second phase

More than 200 pharmacies are now deliv-

ering whooping cough and measles vaccines

across Queensland.

The Queensland Pharmacist Immunisation

Project (QPIP) moved into phase two on Sep-

tember 1 after the first phase, where pharmacists

at 80 community pharmacies administered more

than 10,000 influenza vaccinations, was labelled

a success.

Results from phase one, which began on

April 1, show 96 per cent of people vaccinated

were ‘completely satisfied’ with the pharmacist-

delivered vaccination service and 97 per cent

would return to a pharmacy for future vaccina-

tions.

Meanwhile, 14 per cent had never previously

received a vaccination while 38 per cent had

been vaccinated but not every year.

The project is an initiative of the Pharmaceu-

tical Society of Australia (PSA) and the Pharmacy

Guild.

The expansion of the vaccine trial, run in con-

junction with Queensland University of Technol-

ogy (QUT) and James Cook University, will form

just one part of the government’s new strategy to

boost immunisation rates across the state.

The strategy aims to protect most Queens-

landers while also working to protect those peo-

ple unable to be vaccinated.

The government recently began publishing

data on current rates of immunisation for the

state’s regions on its health performance website

in a bid to showcase immunisation rates along-

side emergency department and elective surgery

The Quiet Leader and the Graduate- Working Together Towards the “Ah-ha!” MomentBy Jessica Brown

There are many people involved with the

transition from university student to health pro-

fessional, and it is at this time of the year that

preceptors, mentors, educators and managers

reflect on the achievements and areas for im-

provement for their graduate programs. This arti-

cle will focus on the new area of neuroleadership

and how it can complement, or perhaps change,

our current strategies for working with new grad-

uates in the health professions.

We have been aware of Malcolm Knowles’

model of adult learning, defined as andragogy,

since the 1970s. This involves respecting the

past experience of the learner and focusing on

practical, problem-based learning. In my experi-

ence however, it has been a challenge to harness

the internal motivation and self-direction of adult

learners. I have hypothesised that this may be

related to learning burnout after a long period of

study at university or perhaps to the overwhelm-

ing nature of starting full-time work (shift work

for some) combined with all of the responsibil-

ity and accountability associated with being a

health professional. However I have come to be-

lieve that we, as experienced professionals, can

sometimes create barriers to the flow of learning

and development.

The role of the preceptor/ mentor/ buddy

and the graduate has changed over time. The

apprenticeship model required a doctor or nurse

to follow, watch and learn from their teacher. The

learner provided cheap labour for the privilege of

having a teacher to observe. With changes to

patient acuity and technology came changes to

the way we educate. In many areas, certainly in

nursing, we have dedicated educators that focus

on facilitating educational experiences, assess-

ing competence and making sure that new grad-

uates know what we perceive they need to know.

It is a teacher-led system and the result of this is

the diminishing ability for adult learners to assert

their internal motivations and self-direction.

So how do we strike a balance between en-

suring competency and allowing for the natural

drive for knowledge of intelligent graduate health

professionals?

Developments in neuroscience allow us to

understand the complexity of how the brain re-

sponds to new information. Each and every ex-

perience results in a ‘mental map’. You have a

map to remember how to drive to work, another

to remind you how to put on your socks. There

are maps upon maps upon maps. When the

brain encounters a new experience it will attempt

to match that experience to a pre-existing map.

If a match cannot be made, a new map will be

required, which is time, energy and concentration

intensive.

“The brain is constantly trying to automate

processes, thereby dispelling them from con-

sciousness; in this way, its work will be complet-

ed faster, more effectively and at a lower meta-

bolic level. Consciousness, on the other hand, is

slow, subject to error and “expensive”.”- Gerhard

Roth (2004) from Quiet Leadership by David Rock

(2006)

To add to this complexity, each brain is wired

in a unique way. Preceptors often have trouble

relating to the requirements of conscious map

making. I like to use the analogy of a ballerina

and a toddler to demonstrate this theory.

The experienced ballerina looks effortless For the full article visit NCAH.com.au

and graceful while performing her skills. The

mental maps have become hardwired by chemi-

cal and physical links between neurons. The

brain of the ballet dancer has become efficient

and can focus on higher level thinking about the

finer details such as hand placement and facial

expression. The toddler, on the other hand, is a

novice. The number of mental maps required to

perfect the skills of standing, walking or coordi-

nating muscles to do the hokey-pokey is enor-

mous. It is taxing and it is all the toddler can

focus on.

It is not surprising that the experienced

health professional can unintentionally disregard

the effort required by the novice to learn what ap-

pears to be the most basic of tasks, especially

those practical skills that they have had minimal

time to practice given the relative lack of clinical

exposure in the current university model.

Health professionals are taught to think criti-

cally and to be accountable for their actions. The

role of those involved with facilitating new grad-

uate learning is to do so in a way that enables

graduates to make their own connections and

mental maps. We know that the didactic ap-

proach does not work for adults thanks to the

theory of andragogy, but now we understand

why. The experience that fits with an existing

mental map of one person may not fit the exist-

ing mental map of another. In the same way as

we cannot teach a child to walk – we can only

provide encouragement and support to increase

their confidence – we need to assist graduates to

process ideas effectively, clarify those ideas, to

establish relationships between concepts and to

prioritise their thoughts.

While this sounds abstract it can be as

simple as adapting the way we question them.

Changing the old, ingrained mental maps is near

impossible. A focus on creating new maps by

being solution-focused can enhance learning:

Teacher: “Why didn’t you manage

to complete your workload this morning? What

went wrong?”

Grad: “I was too busy to make a plan or look

through my charts so I was behind from the be-

ginning of my shift…”

In most cases the graduate in this situation

will already feel dejected about the shift. The

questioning focus is on the negative which fur-

ther decreases the ability of the graduate to feel

energised about trying again. An alternative,

solution-focused approach could be:

Teacher: “What do you need to do

next time to make sure you are able to meet the

requirements of your workload?

Grad: “I really do need to take the time to

make a plan and look through my charts so I

know when to ask for assistance.”

The graduate, being an adult, has already as-

sessed what went wrong. The focus of this style

of questioning is on planning for future attempts.

In his article titled SCARF: A brain based

model for collaborating with and influencing oth-

ers (2008), David Rock asserts that the following

five domains of human social experience elicit

an approach/avoid response dependent upon

whether it is perceived to be a reward or a threat:

•Status

•Certainty

•Autonomy

•Relatedness

•Fairness

He states that a person feeling threatened

in any of the five domains will have a reduced

capacity for complex problem solving. This

can negatively impact the ability to utilise the

brainpower required to create mental maps. In

contrast, providing fairness and certainty, appre-

ciating the past experience of the graduate and

allowing them the time required to make their

own cognitive connections leads to improved

learning cultures and fosters motivation and self-

direction.

Psychologists are concerned at increasing

levels of income inequality contributing to poorer

mental health and well-being among disadvan-

taged Australians.

The Australian Psychological Society (APS),

the peak professional organisation for psycholo-

gists with more than 21,000 members, fears

many measures outlined in this year’s federal

budget risk widening rather than reducing in-

come and other inequalities.

In its recent submission to the Federal Gov-

ernment’s inquiry into income inequality in Aus-

tralia, the APS states the growing gap will impact

on vulnerable groups, ranging from young people

to older Australians, women, the unemployed,

single parents, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Is-

lander communities, migrants and refugees.

The organisation has expressed concerns at

budget measures comprising cuts to education

funding, proposed welfare changes, moves to

link the age pension to CPI rather than changes

in wages, the introduction of the GP co-payment,

and the $165 million cut to the Indigenous health

budget.

In its submission, co-author Heather Grid-

ley states inequality exacerbates disadvantage

which impacts on people’s mental health, physi-

cal health and well-being.

“These groups are already vulnerable to living

in poverty, and to psychological distress associ-

ated with these material living conditions,” the

submission states.

Courageous young nurse honoured

Katrina Coleman is triaging more than the

nursing needs of some of New Zealand’s most

disadvantaged families.

From preventing power disconnection to

linking isolated families and advocating to move

families into better housing, the 27-year-old

nurse often goes above and beyond her role as

a Plunket nurse, assessing children’s growth and

development, to improve health outcomes.

“There’s a huge aspect of social work in-

volved in it - possibly some of the nurses before

me would have said ‘this isn’t my job’,” she said.

“I truly believe I have a working relationship

with the migrant families. I decided I was going to

be ‘that’ person.”

Katrina has been awarded the New Zealand

Nurses Organisation’s (NZNO) inaugural Young

Nurse of the Year Award for demonstrating a

commitment and passion to nursing beyond the

daily expectations of a nurse.

Katrina works with families from Somalia,

Ethiopia, India, China, the Middle East, and some

Maori and Pacific Islanders in Newtown, one of

Wellington’s migrant centres.

Many families don’t speak English while

some are illiterate, have no local connections and

live in appalling conditions.

Katrina works to connect families with ser-

vices, resources and with one another.

“I always knew when I started the role that

it wasn’t just about building the relationship with

families but with the broader community,” she

said.

“In some cases, I’m the only NZ-European

person they know, or the only person that can

link them into the system.”

Earlier this year, Katrina worked with Plunket

volunteers to launch a database to link women

of the same culture, and after identifying a gap

in the referral processes between services and

Housing NZ, Katrina has worked with the or-

ganisation to prioritise housing for clients due to

health and cultural reasons.

Amid concerns vulnerable clients were hav-

ing their power disconnected, Katrina also devel-

oped criteria for at-risk families to prevent their

power being cut, which is now being used to pre-

vent disconnection.

The young nurse, who is also completing her

Masters in Nursing, volunteers her time to assist

Plunket volunteers in putting together free pack-

ages of essentials, such as woollen blankets,

baby clothes and nutritional food, for high needs

families.

NZNO nursing policy adviser and researcher

Dr Jill Clendon said Katrina was awarded the ac-

colade, out of a field of 17 nominations, for her

outstanding commitment to her community.

“It was the project work she was doing on

behalf of her community that went beyond her

everyday work as a Plunket nurse that really

stood out,” she said.

“We were very excited by the calibre of nomi-

nations. It is clear there are some extremely able

young nurses out there doing exemplary work

every day.”

Dr Clendon said the Young Nurse of the Year

Award was the brain child of a group of nurses,

aged under 30, who have been working with the

organisation since 2012, following research into

the needs of young nurses.

“The group were tasked with identifying pro-

jects that they believed would meet the needs of

their peers and enhance recruitment and reten-

tion within the sector,” she said.

“I think that the fact this award has come

about due to the work of a group of young nurses

advocating for it to happen for their peers is also

a very exciting aspect of the award.”




Tribute to Kim HuntBy Ken Hampson, Acting Director Operations, Murrumbidgee Local Health District

The tragic events in Lockhart in early Sep-

tember will remain with many of us for a very

long time. A family tragedy shocked families, a

local community and indeed our community of

Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD).

Two years ago while working

as a Registered Nurse in the

Intensive Care/Coronary

Care Unit and Emer-

gency Departmentat

Wagga Wagga Health

Service, Kim had a

serious car accident

and was flown to

Canberra. Her condi-

tion was critical and

many thought she had

small chance of survival.

She suffered serious life-

threatening injuries, includ-

ing a significant head injury.

Kim fought on with tenacity, the

love of her family, friends and colleagues, and ob-

viously high quality medical care, and was back

at work this year. She had recently been appoint-

ed Clinical Nurse Educator at LockhartMulti-Pur-

pose Service (MPS).

The morning after we heard about the trag-

edy, I travelled to Lockhart with the MLHD Execu-

tive Director of Nursing & Midwifery, Karen Cair-

ney, to be with the staff and see if any resources

were needed to support the grief-stricken team.

The NSW Chief Nurse and Midwifery Officer,

Susan Pearce, made contact with the District

and also contacted the Lockhart Health Service

Manager,Karen McPherson,personally by phone

to express her condolences.

The tragedy unfolded during the week of the

2014 NSW Rural Health and Research Congress

in Dubbo where Kim’s contribution to rural health

was recognised. Kim was described as an inspi-

rational clinical leader who left many valuable

footprints throughout MLHD: ‘Kim was a bright

light to rural nursing, a dynamo full of posi-

tive enthusiasm who was a pas-

sionate dedicated nurse and

mother’.

The staff at Lockhart

MPS continued to pro-

vide health care servic-

es, which is testament

to their dedication.

The staff placed black

silk ribbons on the

balustrades and doc-

umented on a white

board that Kim was a

fantastic daughter, sister,

mother, wife and nurse. I

asked them to write down some

thoughts which I share with you:

• Kim would arm herself with lollies and red

As a Local Health District, we have respond-

Lockhart as the pain and grief will be palpable for

some time to come.

A memory of Kim vivid in my mind was at a

recent workshop for clinicians in Wagga Wagga

about patient-based care. Kim stood up as we

were discussing how to do this better and from

her experience reminded us to talk to patients,

touch patients and be kind to patients. Those

words stuck with me and many people on the

day. The legacy of Kim’s words should be easy

for us to translate into practice no matter who

you are working with in health.

Elizabeth Eastwell was working as a dental

assistant but dreaming of a career in nursing.

Now, the 44-year-old Bachelor of Nursing

student will realise her dream of providing nurs-

ing care to children in a developing country when

she volunteers in Laos early next year.

The mother-of-three is one of 54 nursing

and midwifery students from Griffith University

preparing to venture to the south-east

Asian landlocked country with in-

ternational volunteer program

Antipodeans Abroad in

January.

“The experience

will be invaluable,”

she said.

“I think it will im-

prove your skills as

a nurse because you

have to improvise in

so many different ways

to still bring treatment

and options to clients,

without all of the things that

we have on hand in a normal clini-

cal situation here in Australia.”

The three-week placement will include a visit

to a hospital at Luang Prabang before venturing

north of the city, where the nursing and midwifery

students will provide health care and health pro-

motion to remote communities.

“Every day we will go to a different village

and set up make-shift clinics and assess people

that come there, and we will also do some educa-

tion sessions,” Elizabeth said.

“We have been told that respiratory problems,

tuberculosis and possibly burns will be high on the

agenda of medical issues within the places we will

visit.”

Elizabeth said she’s excited at the opportunity

to be able to provide nursing assistance in a de-

veloping country.

“A couple of other mature age students that

I’m friends with, we are all going together,” she

said.

“We are all on the same wavelength as to

why we want to go and the extra experience that

we’ll gain, and a deeper understanding of the

provision of basic nursing care in difficult

circumstances.”

Elizabeth, a second year

student at Griffith’s Logan

campus, said she always

wanted to be a nurse

but “fell into” dental

assisting.

As her children

moved into their teen-

age years, Elizabeth

decided to pursue her

passion for nursing.

“One day I realised

dental assisting wasn’t my

dream job and I knew I would

regret not doing my nursing if any-

thing happened or if I got too old to do

it, so I just took the leap,” she said.

Elizabeth urged others considering a change

in career to “just do it”.

“Yes, it’s scary, and yes, it’s frightening to just

even apply but the benefits just far outweigh the

fear,” she said.

“You do cope and you are actually smarter

than you believe that you are, and you will just

blossom beyond belief.

“I absolutely love it and it’s the best thing I’ve

ever done.”

After graduating, Elizabeth hopes to eventu-

ally work in an area where she can provide care

to mothers, babies and children.
