Collaborative Art Piece

By Julie Nichols, Art Therapist, John Hunter Children’s Hospital

In 2017 Julie Nichols, Art Therapist at John Hunter Children’s Hospital, collaborated with teachers and students at the John Hunter Hospital School to create a mosaic masterpiece. As an acknowledgement to the diversity of the students and local community they decided to create a rainbow serpent. The rainbow serpent is a traditional Aboriginal legend known to many children. The schoolroom created the design and Julie brought it to life. Students mapped out the space, drew the snake to fit and cut the image into pieces. Julie transferred the sections onto timber and the students in the classroom and on the hospital wards were given a piece of the rainbow serpent to mosaic with small tiles.

The collaborative process involved mapping out the colour scheme and central line linking all the sections of the snake. Under the guidance of Julie and staff at the school, students created an amazing piece of art that permanently adorns the hospital school room. This was not only an art project but a well-being project. Everybody involved gained a sense of satisfaction on completion and they are thrilled with the finished product.

New Child Protection Training for All Staff

A new Child Wellbeing and Protection online training module is now available on My Health Learning. The module is compulsory for all staff.

The training was launched by the Hon. Brad Hazzard MP, Minister for Health and Minister for Medical Research (pictured) at Westmead Hospital on the 12th March, who stressed the importance of the resource developed by the Ministry, Health Education and Training Institute (HETI) and the Education Centre Against Violence.

Adult survivor, Craig Hughes-Cashmore also shared his experiences and inspiring story of how health workers can change a life when they hear, validate and assist survivors of abuse.

The three-part resource is designed to assist all Health staff in their roles, including doctors, clinical and non-clinical staff, Ministry and Pillars to respond to vulnerable children, young people and their families.

The training also covers significant new content on how to assist adult survivors of childhood abuse and contributes to NSW Health’s commitment in responding to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

The module is now in My Health Learning and should be completed by all staff as soon as possible.

New Australian Occupational Therapy Competency Standards

The Occupational Therapy Board of Australia (the Board) published the new Australian occupational therapy competency standards (the competency standards) in February 2018.

The competency standards are being released now to allow the profession to become familiar with the new requirements before they take effect on 1 January 2019.

The new competency standards outline professional behaviours all occupational therapists should demonstrate to practise safely and ethically. They will affect occupational therapists working across all practice settings, including research, education, management and other roles not involving direct contact with clients - so it’s important you know what they are.

They will replace the Australian competency standards for new graduate occupational therapists previously developed by Occupational Therapy Australia and have been developed to acknowledge changes in the profession since it first became nationally regulated on 1 July 2012.

The new competency standards also specifically acknowledge the need for occupational therapists to enhance their cultural responsiveness and capabilities for practice with respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

The competency standards focus on four conceptual areas of occupational therapy practice: professionalism, knowledge and learning, occupational therapy process and practice, and communication. Each of these is supported by a number of practice behaviours which address specific core competencies.

How can I apply the competency standards?

What is safe and competent occupational therapy practice can be demonstrated through the use, reflection and application of the competency standards in all fields of occupational therapy practice.

They can be used by:

employers to determine what should be expected of a competent occupational therapy workforce

education providers to inform the design of programs of study to produce safe and competent new graduates, and

the public and consumers to identify the expected behaviours that an occupational therapist should demonstrate.

Resources for occupational therapists

The following resources are designed to help occupational therapists understand and apply the competency standards to their occupational therapy practice easily.

Read the competency standards online

Standard - Australian occupational therapy competency standards

Poster - Get to know the new competency standards for occupational therapists

Video - How the new Australian occupational therapy competency standards apply to you and your practice.

Physiotherapy Advanced Practice within the Emergency Department

By Annette Pickup (Physiotherapy Practitioner, The Wollongong Hospital Emergency Department) with contributions from Leigh Marchetto and Andrew Wong.

Physiotherapy advanced practice within the Emergency Department (ED) has been a gradual evolution of skills and professional cultural boundaries over the last 10-15 years. From the beginning of the inclusion of the physiotherapy profession into the ED environment, there has been a recognition that we offer a specialist skill set in the diagnosis and management of disorders of the musculoskeletal system. In an environment that has traditionally been dominated by medical physicians, the physiotherapy skill set has helped to enhance the experience of patients presenting to the ED with musculoskeletal disorders and injuries as well as improve the speed of access to care within the department (Bird et al 2016; Harding et al 2015). Traditionally these patients would wait the longest to access professional care within the ED environment due to the relatively low acuity of presentation.

The initial model of care in which the physiotherapy practitioner (PP) worked was one of collaboration with the ED Staff Specialists where all cases with the Emergency physicians prior to discharge of these patients. However, with the cultural boundaries changing, as well as the recognition of the specialist skills the physiotherapy profession possess, the role of the physiotherapy practitioner within the ED environment has become much more independent.

In 2013 the NSW ED physiotherapy network, in partnership with the Emergency Care Institute, decided to undertake a project in order to investigate the impact of the Emergency Physiotherapy Practitioner (EPP) on wait times and length of stay for patients who present with a musculoskeletal injury. The primary aim of the study was to determine if there is any value add from this service compared to the usual care provided. Further, this study, also set out to assess both patient and staff satisfaction of the ED Physiotherapy service across multiple hospital sites.

Preliminary results from the study showed that on average, the PP reduced waiting times by 10 minutes and length of stay by 2 hours for musculoskeletal patients (triage categories 3, 4 and 5) who present to the ED. 100% of ED staff felt ED physiotherapists have the skills and knowledge to provide appropriate assessment, treatment and education to specific patient groups and 95% of ED staff felt the PP made the ED team more effective.

Wollongong Hospital is an example of how the physiotherapist role has progressed in the ED. Within the ED, there is a sub-department called the Minor Injuries and Illness unit that is staffed solely by a Nurse Practitioner and Physiotherapy Practitioner. This unit now operates independently of the direct input of the Emergency Department staff specialists on patient care. A study on this model of care found that the Minor Injuries and Illness Unit had 5.1% of available ED treatment spaces but was able to manage 8.8% of total ED presentations for the time period of data collection. The average length of stay for top 10 presentations in the Minor Injuries and Illness Unit was 2 hours and 6 minutes, where the average length of stay for the rest of the department for the same problems was 3 hours and 21 minutes. Musculoskeletal injuries and disorders managed by the PP within this unit include back and neck pain, simple fractures as well as those requiring reduction, joints requiring reduction, soft tissue injuries, wounds and crush injuries. Independent management of these patients requires advanced practice skills involving x-ray and CT interpretation, joint and fracture reduction techniques and complex clinical reasoning.

Developing a state-wide or national training and credentialing pathway for physiotherapists wishing to pursue this career path is important to ensure that our profession continues to grow into the future. Unlike Victoria and the ACT, NSW does not have a formalised professional development pathway for ED physiotherapists, therefore there is no clear career pathway for the existing ED physiotherapists or recognition of the advanced nature of their practice. The conversation around the issues surrounding advanced practice by governing bodies within NSW Health as well as those external to the state health system continues.
