Number of Participants: Minimum 20 people, maximum 55 people Program Times: 9am – 4pm
Target Audience:
This workshop is suitable for nurses who are providing wound care for older persons living in residential aged care or community care environments.
Synopsis:
This workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to develop a greater understanding of the principles of the Encouraging Best Practice in Aged Care Project.
This workshop combines theoretical and practical elements to enhance the learning process.
Key Content & Learning Objectives Session 1: Welcome & Background
At the end of this session participants will be able to:
Develop a greater understanding of the EBPAC Creating Champions for Skin Integrity Project Learn more about strategies that were successful in Round 1 & strategies that were
unsuccessful
Session 2: CSI Resource Kit
At the end of this session participants will be able to:
Identify different components of the CSI Resource kit and how to use each component effectively
Session 3: Becoming a Champion for Skin Integrity
In order to become a Champion for Skin Integrity (CSI) it is important that participants are familiar with the most commonly encountered wounds in older persons because a CSI often assumes the role of a resource person. In this session, participants will refresh their knowledge on evidence based assessment, management and prevention strategies for common wound types.
Session 4: Change Management & Leadership
One of the barriers to the implementation of best evidence is changing attitudes and behaviours. This workshop will provide participants with strategies to assist in implementing change in their workplace. At the end of this session participants will be able to:
Demonstrate a greater understanding of the barriers and facilitators to change and be able to identify management strategies to address barriers to change
Role play change management strategies
Session 5: Implementing the Champion for Skin Integrity Program
Working in groups, participants will be provided with case studies where they will be required to identify the wound type presented and to select the appropriate assessment, management and prevention strategies using the Toolkit. Participants will then be required to demonstrate how to use the toolkit to change practice in their clinical areas using the case study scenarios as an example.
Session 6: Goal Setting – What next?
By end of this session, participants will have developed a list of priorities to implement upon return to their clinical setting and will be able to identify strategies to communicate the importance of these priorities, suggest potential methods of implementation, methods of evaluating the success of their implementation and how to report the outcomes.
