A new ebook aims to guide New Zealand physiotherapists through launching themselves or their business into the social media stratosphere.

Physiotherapy New Zealand has released the free guide for members, titled Social Media for Physios, which outlines how to get started in social media and provides content advice.

It also shows physiotherapists how to measure their social media efforts, covers ethics and how to remain professional online, and it provides case studies on New Zealand physiotherapists experiencing social media success.

The resource comes as statistics show there are two million Facebook users in New Zealand, with 36 per cent of those aged between 35 and 64.

“The explosive growth of social media offers many opportunities for everyone, including physios and practice owners,” the guide states.

“Of course, with any new communication medium there are also risks. This ebook aims to outline the practical steps in starting up a social presence, as well as ethical concerns and what to avoid.”

A team of Victorian pharmaceutical researchers are creating a device to prevent women in developing countries from dying as a result of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH).

Monash University researchers are developing a dry powder inhaler for Oxytocin that women can inhale immediately after giving birth.

With an estimated 100,000 women a year dying of PPH, the life-saving device could transform maternal and neonatal healthcare in developing countries.

PPH can be prevented or treated with an injection of oxytocin but in developing countries access to the drug is limited due to its requirements for refrigeration, storage and also doctors and nurses for its administration.

Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences’ pharmaceutical scientist Dr Michelle McIntosh is leading a team, including Dr Richard Prankerd and Associate Professor David Morton, to develop the novel aerosol delivery system as a disposable device in a bid to assist the large number of women giving birth outside medical facilities or in understaffed or ill-equipped clinics.

The project recently received a $500,000 gift from Australia’s Planet Wheeler Foundation but it requires another $1 million in funds to take it into the human clinical trials, to test product safety.

“We are thrilled to have Planet Wheeler – an Australian Foundation - join a growing number of funding bodies who recognise the need to deliver equitable access to a life-saving drug in developing countries,” Dr McIntosh said.

“We still have a funding hole of $1 million to fill for this stage but the Planet Wheeler grant has given us cause for hope that other Australian trusts with global health as a focus will be able to come on board.”

Dr McIntosh was awarded her Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) in 1996 and PhD in Pharmaceuticals in 2000 from Monash

University before undertaking a post-doctoral fellowship at The Centre for Drug Delivery Research at the University of Kansas.

Dr McIntosh was recruited back to the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences to lead a major research program in pulmonary drug delivery which has evolved to focus on the dry powder inhaler for oxytocin.

Australian pharmacists could be a step closer to providing immunisations, thanks to a new trial research project in Queensland.

The state’s pharmacists will be the nation’s first to provide vaccines as part of the Queensland Pharmacist Immunisation Pilot (QPIP), which is earmarked to begin in this year’s influenza season.

The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia’s Queensland branches and the Pharmacy Guild of Australia announced the launch of the project after the Department of Health gave the initiative the green light.

A number of community pharmacies across Queensland will participate in the project, which will provide immunisations for people not covered by the National Immunisation Program.

The project could pave the way for the introduction of pharmacists to administer vaccines in Australia.

Australian pharmacists are currently unable to provide vaccines but community pharmacy groups have been using nurse immunisers in a bid to introduce their own flu vaccination programs.

Under the Queensland immunisation trial, the PSA and the Guild will work with the Queensland University of Technology and James Cook University.

Pharmacy Guild Queensland branch president Tim Logan said the pilot could lay the groundwork for the delivery of more professional services through community pharmacy.

“Community pharmacies are the most accessible healthcare professionals and so we are a natural destination for the delivery of vital immunisation services,” he said in a statement.

“The Pharmacy Board of Australia and PDL will monitor the trial to ensure that regulatory

and risk management issues are managed with their cooperation.

“This is an academically-designed trial so participants will be targeted to fit certain criteria to ensure the scientific robustness of the analysis of results.

“In the early stages, pharmacists seeking involvement are advised to begin planning to engage once government has considered the trial and made any necessary regulatory amendments needed to introduce the full program.”

James Cook University Pharmacy chair Professor Beverley Glass said the pilot was an opportunity for the pharmacy profession to demonstrate its ability to offer an expanded service.

“Importantly, this will be the research informing practice to achieve positive consumer outcomes,” she said.

Physiotherapist Arthur Lee is venturing into a speciality where many privately practising physiotherapists fear to tread.

While many physiotherapists are heading into the more appealing areas of sports and spinal physiotherapy, this Melbourne born and bred physiotherapist is beginning 2014 pursuing practice in cardiorespiratory physiotherapy.

“Ten years ago, no-one wanted to do aged care and now it’s so big in physiotherapy; I feel it may be the same with cardiorespiratory physiotherapy,” Mr Lee said.

“No-one wants to do it because it’s disgusting - where someone is coughing up phlegm.

“Sooner or later, when the need is realised, when more people are suffering and there’s a large burden on the health system, more people will realise it’s an area to get into.”

A committee member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association’s Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy Australia group, Mr Lee is focusing on cardiorespiratory physiotherapy through his new venture, Chest Physiotherapy Victoria, working to assist people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, as well as bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis and asthma.

As a cardiorespiratory physiotherapist, Mr Lee works to decrease breathlessness, help clear mucus and build up exercise endurance.

Mr Lee also plans to develop an affordable and accessible community group service and eventually hopes to travel outside Melbourne to extend access to cardiorespiratory physiotherapy services to rural and regional areas.

“It’s a bit of a change. I guess when we talk about back pain and knee pain there’s enough people doing that. There’s a physiotherapist in almost every corner now,” he said.

“I am heading into an area where there is a huge need. It’s an area of physiotherapy that has been really limited more to the public sector, public hospitals and community health centres, but not many are doing it in the private sector.”

Since graduating from Melbourne University in 2000, Mr Lee has spent the past 13 years working in sports and spinal physiotherapy and in general physiotherapy.

It wasn’t until he ventured into taking on an existing practice that he realised helping people to breathe made an incredible difference in their lives.

“I have grown to enjoy the sound of phlegm coming out of people’s throats,” Mr Lee said.

“There’s that thing when you work so hard and suddenly a plug is removed and it’s a very satisfying feeling - they can suddenly breathe better.

“My message to physiotherapists is that the face of public health continues to change and that cardiorespiratory physiotherapy is something that should be investigated for a career into the future.”

Mr Lee also runs a training program for physiotherapists wanting to establish an effective private practice.

There are a world of career opportunities for nurses - ranging from direct patient care to management, education and training, research and policy development. Then there’s advocacy, and caring for those who care, writes Karen Keast.

When Lee Thomas began her nursing career as a personal care assistant in aged care, she never imagined she would one day sit at the helm of the national organisation that acts as the professional and industrial voice for nurses, midwives and assistants in nursing.

Since 2010, Ms Thomas has been the federal secretary of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF), which has become one of the largest and fastest growing union’s in Australia with around 240,000 members.

“To be federal secretary of this union at a time when we are continuing to grow and go from strength to strength I think is a very humbling experience and one I enjoy every day,” she says.

There are countless ways nurses can become involved in advocating for their colleagues and their profession, whether it’s as a union member, a union representative or delegate, or in a paid, career position.

For Ms Thomas, her rise through the union ranks first began with a transition from nursing to advocacy in the mid-1980s.

A hospital-trained nurse at Adelaide’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, it was while Ms Thomas was completing her midwifery training at the Queen Victoria Hospital that she became “incensed” at a move to reduce annual leave.

“I rang the union and said I’m very incensed about what the hospital is trying to do,” she recalls.

“We had a union meeting and from that I became much more involved in the union and much more active.”

assistant secretary and then the SA branch secretary in 2000.

She then went on to become the ANMF’s assistant federal secretary before taking on the organisation’s top job.

Ms Thomas says working in the union is a career that comes with its highlights - like the SA negotiations over public sector wages and conditions, that resulted in 39 days of industrial action before achieving a suitable outcome for members.

Then, she says, there are the lowlights, such as the 2013 axing of the Workforce Supplement which was set to deliver improved wages for aged care nurses and workers.

“We worked so hard through that Because We Care Campaign to ensure that older Australians receive quality care and to ensure that our members are paid appropriately so that was a very dark day.”

Coral Levett, a clinical liaison and workplace enhancement nurse manager at South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, has been a nurse for 33 years and an active member of the union for most of that time.

Ms Levett holds two honorary positions at the union - as the New South Wales Nurses and Midwives’ Association president and she is also the ANMF’s federal president.

Throughout the years, Ms Levett has been involved in a wide range of campaigns and activities, from successfully fighting to save a public hospital from privatisation to achieving nurse to patient ratios in NSW.

“What I love most is seeing change or protecting good things in the health system,” she says.

“If it wasn’t for the union movement and particularly our union as a collective we would have seen some changes that wouldn’t be good for health and for our community.”

Ms Levett says it’s possible for direct-patient care nurses and midwives to achieve success

Ms Thomas became a union delegate, completed union training and participated in enterprise bargaining.

When a nine-month contract position opened up as an organiser in the SA branch, she decided to grasp the opportunity with the potential for heading in a different career direction.

“I was in middle management at that stage,” she says.

“I thought nine months will give me a bit of a taste of something different and I applied for the job and I got it.

“I took leave without pay from my job and I went to work for the union.”

Towards the end of the contract, the position became permanent. Ms Thomas applied and secured the position.

“I thought - this is good work, I do enjoy this. It felt comfortable and it felt right.”

Ms Thomas worked as an organiser at the branch for a few years before becoming the

in their careers while also acting as a union delegate, representing their colleagues.

She says while advocating takes “a bit of courage” it’s also vital for nurses to maintain their professionalism regardless of the workplace issue.

“Chief executives and directors of nursing have always given me a good go and a fair hearing,” she says.

“A good working relationship between a union member and senior management can be a very good thing for everybody.

“If management need to implement a change, they are more likely to get agreement and cooperation from that.”

Whether it’s representing your colleagues on employment conditions, tackling social justice issues or working to improve the profession, the outcomes of advocacy can be extremely rewarding.

“I work across eight hospitals in Sydney with my student placements,” Ms Levett says.

“When you see the results of nurse to patient ratios - in one hospital alone it might mean the difference of 30 to 40 more nurses.

“There are more nurses in those wards and more nursing is being done and the nurses are enjoying going to work. It’s very rewarding when you hear stories like that.”

“

Better wages for aged care workers, full-employment of graduate nurses and improving safe patient care top the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation’s wish list for 2014.

The ANMF will this year also lobby to maintain the nation’s free health care system and focus on issues such as greening health services, improved health for Indigenous Australians and marriage equality.

Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation federal secretary Lee Thomas said the Coalition Government’s move to axe the Workforce Supplement in December, just months after its hard-fought introduction, was a dark day.

“The things that we were most interested in were in improving the numbers of care staff, the registered nurses, enrolled nurses, and assistants in nursing, in the workforce to care for older Australians,” she said.

“Our members are pretty disappointed by this outcome.”

Ms Thomas said the union will continue to fight to ensure the $1.2 billion in improved wages, training and working conditions, which formed a major plank of the union’s Aged Care Can’t Wait campaign, reaches the pockets of under-paid nurses and care workers.

She said the ANMF will participate in a Federal Government workshop, alongside other aged care stakeholders, to discuss the pay rises in February.

“We still believe the most transparent and accountable way for that money to go to wages for staff in the sector is through bargaining,” she said.

“We can’t think of another way that it can be done with any degree of certainty. We will continue to fight for that.”

Ms Thomas said the ANMF will also aim for 100 per cent employment of the nation’s graduate nurses.

“We know by 2025 we are going to be 109,000 nurses short in this country and graduates are, of course, the health care workforce for the future.

“We need to start employing them now and giving them the experience that they need so that in five years they are becoming the senior nurses of the future.”

Ms Thomas said the union will continue to address members’ concerns about safe patient care, to ensure adequate nursing numbers and skills mix.

“Members tell us it’s not having the adequate numbers of staff that really is the thing that makes them think twice about staying in the profession,” she said.

“When there’s not enough staff we can’t do our jobs adequately and are not fully satisfied and nurses start thinking about what they may do as an alternative - and that’s not good for anybody.”

The ANMF will also oppose a government proposal to introduce an upfront fee of $6 for people to visit a general practitioner, and tackle social justice issues including delivering health services with a reduced carbon footprint as well as continuing its fight for marriage equality.

Royal North Shore HospitalREGISTERED NURSES REQUIRED FOR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT



Overweight patients cost Western Australia’s public hospitals $241 million in 2011 - and that number is expected to soar to $488 million by 2021, according to a new report.

The WA Department of Health study, titled The Cost of Excess Body Mass to the Acute Hospital System in Western Australia 2011, found the top 10 most expensive conditions attributable to excess body mass included osteoarthritis, at the top of the list, costing $84,633,216, with ischaemic heart disease next on $50,510,400.

Diabetic renal dialysis cost $28,385,285, type 2 diabetes reached $16,190,398, gall bladder disease was $13,382,479, obesity - where the primary diagnosis was directly attributed to excess body mass - cost $10,749,139, congestive cardiac failure hit $8,967,621,

ischaemic stroke reached $8,708,470, colorectal cancer cost $7,501,672 and breast cancer cost $3,062,834.

The report predicts in 2021 the cost of diabetic renal dialysis will top the list with a 392.9 per cent increase to reach $139,903,140, while the cost of obesity will rise 219.6 per cent to $34,356,781 and type 2 diabetes will increase 121.8 per cent to reach $35,904,649.

The report investigated emergency and inpatient expenditure for 18 conditions, all associated with overweight patients.

Report author Dr Ben Scalley said the study’s cost estimations were conservative and it was likely the real cost of extra body mass-associated conditions was much higher.

More than 200 Australian dietitians have voted for the worst diets with the Lemon Detox diet, SkinnyMe tea and the Ashy Bines Bikini Body Challenge claiming the three top spots.

With weight loss one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions, dietitians have also included the Atkins diet, the Paleo diet, the Liver Cleansing diet and the Acid or Alkaline diet among their list of the diets best to avoid in 2014.

The Dietitians Association of Australia survey comes as Australian Bureau of Statistics figures reveal rates of overweight and obesity now reach as high as 79 per cent in some parts of Australia.

The DAA also plans to shine the spotlight on obesity and encouraging more Australians to cook and prepare healthy meals through hosting its annual Australia’s Healthy Weight Week, from February 17-23.

The campaign will this year focus on helping adults between 25-50 years to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, with dietitians across Australia holding events to mark the week.

Dietitians at New South Wales’ Albion Centre will showcase the importance of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight for people affected by HIV and will hold a cooking demonstration, information stall and nutrition health checks for clients and staff.

In Adelaide, the Sprout cooking school, run by 2010 MasterChef runner-up Callum Hann and APD Themis Chryssidis, will hold a 12-hour cooking demonstration on February 18.

In Victoria, a healthy family food ideas event will be held at Merricks Beach with displays of healthy food and recipes for families, alongside cooking demonstrations and food to sample, on February 20.

Accredited Practising Dietitian and DAA spokesperson Milena Katz will also host a stall throughout February at Sydney’s Randwick Specialist Centre.

Ms Katz, who runs Ahead in Nutrition, said the week was an opportunity to discuss people’s nutrition habits while promoting how APDs can assist with weight loss, weight maintenance and lifestyle management.

“It’s to get people to think about what they are doing and where they are going,” she said.

“Dietitians can often see the things that people can’t see,” she said.

“There might be just a couple of small changes that we need to make for them, or we can help them or guide them and they will have much better results.

“It’s about achieving long-term, sustainable results.”

Graduate physiotherapist Luke Licht is starting 2014 on a high, working in elite sport.

The Griffith University Master of Physiotherapy graduate begins work with the Brisbane Lions AFL club in February, hot on the tail of a month in New Zealand spent working with the Papua New Guinea cricket team in the ICC Cricket Cup World Qualifier.

Luke, 26, said it was a dream to move into high performance sport after originally failing to get the entrance marks required to study physiotherapy.

“I always wanted to get into physiotherapy but I never got the marks to get straight in,” he said.

“I was in my first year at UTAS in Launceston studying human movement to be a PE teacher.”

Determined to pursue a career in physiotherapy, Luke completed a three-year Bachelor of Exercise Science degree at Griffith University, then achieved his Honours in Exercise Science before completing his Master of Physiotherapy at the end of 2013.

During his degree, Luke completed professional placements with the Brisbane Lions and the Gold Coast Suns through links with Griffith academic staff, leading him to eventually land his dream job.

“I come from a big sporting background in under-age sport and one of my first injuries was as a 14-year-old,” he said.

“I went to a physio and that was really helpful and it got me back on track.

“That physio was then heading off to Dubai with a sporting team and that really appealed to me.”

Luke recently returned from his own trip to Dubai, where he worked with the PNG cricket team in the final rounds of the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.

“That was a fantastic experience,” he said.

“Cricket is really growing in PNG and some of their players are playing in the Australian big bash league this summer.”

On his return from New Zealand, Luke will begin work with the Queensland Sports Medicine Centre, the Lions’ affiliate physiotherapy team, while Luke will also be the physiotherapist for the Lions’ Reserves team.

“I really enjoy preparing athletes to go out there and perform,” he said.

“Seeing the athletes perform as an end result of the preparation you have helped them with, I think that’s the most rewarding thing for me.”

Luke, who also has an interest in athletics, hopes his physiotherapy career will one day take him to an Olympic Games.

“A goal for me is to go to the Olympics,” he said.

“To have an athlete in the 100m finals might be a bit of a stretch but I’d like to at least watch a 100m final as part of an athletic team.

“I think I’m headed in the right direction,” he said.

“I am ecstatic to get this opportunity with the Brisbane Lions. This has turned out better than what I ever expected.”
