Medication pilot for pharmacists, RDNS nurses and GPs
Community pharmacists and GPs will work
with Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS)
nurses in a Victorian pilot project that aims to
improve medication self-management among
older patients.
The Quality Use of Medicines project will
target older people taking multiple medications
in a bid to reduce medication errors, hospital
admissions and re-admissions.
It comes as figures show more than 50 per
cent of medication errors take place during
care transitions and up to 15 per cent of hos-
pital admissions in older people are medication
related.
Pharmacy Guild Victorian branch president
Anthony Tassone said the project aims to im-
prove the medication reconciliation process.
“What they’ve found through research is
when a patient transitions care, so goes from
the hospital to the community when they’ve
been discharged, there is a risk of errors with
their medication or a discrepancy,” he says.
“They’ve found if a health professional,
let’s say a pharmacist, intervenes to provide a
medication reconciliation and reconciles what
they should be on based on the discharge and
the involvement of district nurses who do home
visits, they can reduce the rate of re-admis-
sions to hospital.”
The project will support GP referrals to
community pharmacists to access medication
reconciliation services, and encourage GPs to
work with patients and community pharmacists
to ensure GP records reconcile against pa-
tients’ records
It will also develop health literacy for older
patients on quality use of medicines and imple-
ment a re-call function six to 12 months after
the initial medication reconciliation to assess
any changes.
Mr Tassone said up to 100 patients in a
high-risk target group, who take more than seven
medications, will be the focus of the pilot but he
said details, including which pharmacies will be
involved, what geographic area the project will
cover, and when the pilot will begin, are still being
finalised.
He said the project is vital for older patients
and an important step forward for the pharmacy
profession.
“What it means is the opportunity to play a
specific role in using our skills as medicine ex-
perts to intervene for patient benefit, and hope-
fully be remunerated for our skills and expertise
in things that we do every day, but in a structured
and coordinated way that can be consistent and
ongoing,” he said.
“Also, it provides another opportunity to
work with other health professionals, doctors and
nurses, in a team environment to deliver great pa-
tient outcomes.”
The Health Innovation and Reform Council
(HIRC) recommended the project which has been
funded by the Victorian Department of Health
with in-kind contributions of staff through the
Pharmacy Guild of Australia Victorian branch and
the RDNS.
RDNS Victoria general manager Fiona Hearn
said new approaches are needed to support old-
er people living in the community, who are taking
more medications than ever before.
“RDNS’ home nursing and support services
are integral to the well-being of many thousands
of older people every day, especially in assisting
them to manage their medicines safely,” she said.
“The aims of this project are in line with our
commitment to investigate and implement new
practices which safely enhance the independ-
ence and capacity of older people.”

Ambulance tracking service launched
Queenslanders can now pinpoint almost ex-
actly where their paramedics and ambulances
are, all at the click of a button.
In an Australian first, the Queensland Ambu-
lance Service (QAS) has launched an online avail-
ability map in a bid to show the public real time
tracking of the state’s fleet of more than 1000
ambulances.
The tracking tool, running on the QAS web-
site via Facebook and Twitter, displays ambu-
lance locations in the far northern, northern,
central, north coast, Brisbane, south eastern and
south western regions of the state.
Directly linked to the Emergency Services
Computer Aided Dispatch system, it shows the
total number of vehicles available, and maps the
location of frontline operational response vehi-
cles and supervisor response vehicles.
It also details the number of busy vehicles as
well as how many are performing patient hando-
vers at hospitals but doesn’t display those vehi-
cles on the map due to patient confidentiality.
The tracking tool uses Integrated Real-Time
Operational Ambulance Management (iROAM)
software, developed by QAS and first launched
at the service three years ago.
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said
the QAS is embracing technology and social me-
dia for the benefit of the public and better work-
force management.
“Government should be open and account-
able, and now for the first time anyone can see
exactly how many ambulances are available at a
given time across the state,” he said in a state-
ment.
“Families want to know that if they have an
emergency, an ambulance will be available and
this is now possible.
“If there is pressure on the ambulance ser-
vice, that information will also be freely available,”
he added.
“We promised at the election to restore ac-
countability and we also promised to revitalise
frontline services.”
QAS commissioner Russell Bowles said the
tracking tool should also put an end to any confu-
sion around ambulance availability.
“One of the biggest misconceptions is that
when there are ambulances dropping patients at
a hospital, there are none available to respond to
other emergencies,” he said.
“Use of the QAS social media stream has
more than doubled in the past six months. We
can use this tool to dispel some of the myths.”

Medication pilot for pharmacists, RDNS nurses and GPs
Community pharmacists and GPs will work
with Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS)
nurses in a Victorian pilot project that aims to
improve medication self-management among
older patients.
The Quality Use of Medicines project will
target older people taking multiple medications
in a bid to reduce medication errors, hospital
admissions and re-admissions.
It comes as figures show more than 50 per
cent of medication errors take place during
care transitions and up to 15 per cent of hos-
pital admissions in older people are medication
related.
Pharmacy Guild Victorian branch president
Anthony Tassone said the project aims to im-
prove the medication reconciliation process.
“What they’ve found through research is
when a patient transitions care, so goes from
the hospital to the community when they’ve
been discharged, there is a risk of errors with
their medication or a discrepancy,” he says.
“They’ve found if a health professional,
let’s say a pharmacist, intervenes to provide a
medication reconciliation and reconciles what
they should be on based on the discharge and
the involvement of district nurses who do home
visits, they can reduce the rate of re-admis-
sions to hospital.”
The project will support GP referrals to
community pharmacists to access medication
reconciliation services, and encourage GPs to
work with patients and community pharmacists
to ensure GP records reconcile against pa-
tients’ records
It will also develop health literacy for older
patients on quality use of medicines and imple-
ment a re-call function six to 12 months after
the initial medication reconciliation to assess
any changes.
Mr Tassone said up to 100 patients in a
high-risk target group, who take more than seven
medications, will be the focus of the pilot but he
said details, including which pharmacies will be
involved, what geographic area the project will
cover, and when the pilot will begin, are still being
finalised.
He said the project is vital for older patients
and an important step forward for the pharmacy
profession.
“What it means is the opportunity to play a
specific role in using our skills as medicine ex-
perts to intervene for patient benefit, and hope-
fully be remunerated for our skills and expertise
in things that we do every day, but in a structured
and coordinated way that can be consistent and
ongoing,” he said.
“Also, it provides another opportunity to
work with other health professionals, doctors and
nurses, in a team environment to deliver great pa-
tient outcomes.”
The Health Innovation and Reform Council
(HIRC) recommended the project which has been
funded by the Victorian Department of Health
with in-kind contributions of staff through the
Pharmacy Guild of Australia Victorian branch and
the RDNS.
RDNS Victoria general manager Fiona Hearn
said new approaches are needed to support old-
er people living in the community, who are taking
more medications than ever before.
“RDNS’ home nursing and support services
are integral to the well-being of many thousands
of older people every day, especially in assisting
them to manage their medicines safely,” she said.
“The aims of this project are in line with our
commitment to investigate and implement new
practices which safely enhance the independ-
ence and capacity of older people.”

Australia’s first allied health prescribing training
Thirteen physiotherapists and 10 pharma-
cists are participating in the nation’s first allied
health education and training program for pre-
scribing.
The Queensland University of Tech-
nology (QUT) has created the
Allied Health Prescribing
Training program as
part of a Queensland
Health initiative
that aims to in-
troduce models
of care featur-
ing allied health
prescribing.
It comes
after the final
report from the
Ministerial Task-
force on Health
Practitioner Expand-
ed Scope of Practice
this year outlined a num-
ber of evidence-based mod-
els of care that expand the scope of
practice of allied health professionals, in a bid
to address the community’s health care needs.
The report states allied health profession-
als working in full scope and extended scope
roles will not only be cost-effective but will also
reduce waiting times in emergency depart-
ments and for specialist and surgical appoint-
ments, improve patient flow, and maintain and
even boost patient satisfaction while achieving
positive clinical outcomes.
With the move to podiatry prescribing and
QUT’s prescribing course for podiatrists being
delivered for the first time this year, QUT was
also selected to develop the allied health train-
ing program that’s aligned to the NPS Medi-
cinewise Prescribing Competencies Frame-
work as part of the initiative.
Queensland Health, through the Allied
Health Profession’s Office of Queensland
(AHPOQ) has offered scholarship funding to
Queensland Health employees, who also had
to demonstrate support from within their hos-
pital and health service for the implementation
of the prescribing model as part of a research
trial.
Professor Lisa Nissen, the head of QUT’s
School of Clinical Sciences, says the training
is similar to a corporate education program,
not an award course, that’s been specifically
designed for the Queensland Health initiative.
“I have set it up like a course but we can’t
at this point give them an award, in the future
we would like to be able to give people credit
for having undertaken it,” she says.
“Because we are running it for the pur-
pose of the pilot for Queensland Health it’s
like a high level corporate education program
that has been mapped to the NPS competen-
cies.”
Professor Nissen says the program, which
she assisted in developing as part of an in-
terdisciplinary team of health professionals,
consists of two units - clinical therapeutics
for prescribers, and prescribing and quality
use of medicines.
A pioneering training program designed to enable allied health prescribing has been launched in Queensland. The initiative aims to pave the way for a radical transformation of how health care is delivered to the community. By Karen Keast
The program, a mixture of online learning
and interactive seminar teleconferences, also
involves 120 hours of learning in practice.
A former hospital pharmacist and cur-
rent Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA)
Queensland branch president, Professor Nis-
sen says most participants are expected to
complete the program by March next year.
“We believe that we’ve created a very ro-
bust program that will create very well prepared
people and already it’s challenged the physi-
os,” she says.
“It’s challenged them because they have
had to look at drugs other than the handful that
they thought they’d have to.
“That’s what it’s supposed to do - it’s sup-
posed to challenge people to think about the
accountability and responsibility that comes
with being a prescriber and we don’t apologise
for that.”
A Department of Health spokesperson
says the program will enable the group of allied
health professionals to undertake prescribing
trials within a research framework, subject to
approval by a Human Research Ethics Com-
mittee.
“All allied health professionals undertaking
prescribing as part of a trial will have an iden-
tified medical officer who will provide support
and supervision,” the spokesperson says.
“When prescribing is currently not part of
the scope of practice of the allied health pro-
fession, credentialing will be required by the lo-
cal hospital and health service.
“Extending the scope of practice for allied
health professionals may be pursued where it
enhances the patient journey or improves pa-
tient experience and will relate to specific con-
texts.”
Professor Nissen says physiotherapists will
trial prescribing in emergency departments in
the area of musculoskeletal conditions, where
the evidence for practice is strong, while phar-
macists will trial prescribing across a range of areas.
“It’s very obvious sort of scope of practice
in emergency departments for physiotherapists
where you are looking at not your high trauma
categories but sort of those cases that take
quite a bit of time in emergency,” she says.
“They could be dealt with by people who
have skill sets specifically to manage that kind
of presentation, acknowledging that if they
could add prescribing for things, like analge-
sics, that that could free up spaces in emergen-
cy departments for some of those other cases
to come through.
“For pharmacy, it’s a different sort of mix
and we have previously piloted pharmacists
prescribing inside Queensland Health in pre-
admission clinic and also in a HIV outpatients
clinic on the Gold Coast.
“Pharmacists are more aligned to medi-
cines’ use as a profession, you can see areas
like emergency for chronic disease patients,
pre-admission clinic, chronic disease outpa-
tient clinics, some in oncology, geriatrics - so
it’s a broader mix of models of care that phar-
macy is interested in prescribing a pilot model
for.”
Professor Nissen hopes the training pro-
gram will form the basis for future courses in
allied health prescribing.
“We intend on integrating these courses
into our postgrad program so that people could
do them as actual enrolled units for award -
that is our plan,” she says.
“In a way, it provides the opportunity for
us to consolidate things that we’ve learnt and
developed in other areas and tailor them to the
allied health space.
“It could be speech pathologists, it could
be dietitians, psychologists, diabetes educa-

It comes
after the final
report from the
Ministerial Task-
force on Health
Practitioner Expand-
ed Scope of Practice
this year outlined a num-
ber of evidence-based mod-
els of care that expand the scope of
practice of allied health professionals, in a bid
to address the community’s health care needs.
The report states allied health profession-
als working in full scope and extended scope
roles will not only be cost-effective but will also
reduce waiting times in emergency depart-
ments and for specialist and surgical appoint-
ments, improve patient flow, and maintain and
even boost patient satisfaction while achieving
positive clinical outcomes.
With the move to podiatry prescribing and
QUT’s prescribing course for podiatrists being
delivered for the first time this year, QUT was
also selected to develop the allied health train-
ing program that’s aligned to the NPS Medi-
cinewise Prescribing Competencies Frame-
work as part of the initiative.
Queensland Health, through the Allied
Health Profession’s Office of Queensland
(AHPOQ) has offered scholarship funding to
Queensland Health employees, who also had
to demonstrate support from within their hos-
pital and health service for the implementation
of the prescribing model as part of a research
trial.
Professor Lisa Nissen, the head of QUT’s
School of Clinical Sciences, says the training
is similar to a corporate education program,
not an award course, that’s been specifically
designed for the Queensland Health initiative.
“I have set it up like a course but we can’t
at this point give them an award, in the future
we would like to be able to give people credit
for having undertaken it,” she says.
“Because we are running it for the pur-
pose of the pilot for Queensland Health it’s
like a high level corporate education program
that has been mapped to the NPS competen-
cies.”
Professor Nissen says the program, which
she assisted in developing as part of an in-
terdisciplinary team of health professionals,
consists of two units - clinical therapeutics
for prescribers, and prescribing and quality
use of medicines.
A pioneering training program designed to enable allied health prescribing has been launched in Queensland. The initiative aims to pave the way for a radical transformation of how health care is delivered to the community. By Karen Keast
The program, a mixture of online learning
and interactive seminar teleconferences, also
involves 120 hours of learning in practice.
A former hospital pharmacist and cur-
rent Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA)
Queensland branch president, Professor Nis-
sen says most participants are expected to
complete the program by March next year.
“We believe that we’ve created a very ro-
bust program that will create very well prepared
people and already it’s challenged the physi-
os,” she says.
“It’s challenged them because they have
had to look at drugs other than the handful that
they thought they’d have to.
“That’s what it’s supposed to do - it’s sup-
posed to challenge people to think about the
accountability and responsibility that comes
with being a prescriber and we don’t apologise
for that.”
A Department of Health spokesperson
says the program will enable the group of allied
health professionals to undertake prescribing
trials within a research framework, subject to
approval by a Human Research Ethics Com-
mittee.
“All allied health professionals undertaking
prescribing as part of a trial will have an iden-
tified medical officer who will provide support
and supervision,” the spokesperson says.
“When prescribing is currently not part of
the scope of practice of the allied health pro-
fession, credentialing will be required by the lo-
cal hospital and health service.
“Extending the scope of practice for allied
health professionals may be pursued where it
enhances the patient journey or improves pa-
tient experience and will relate to specific con-
texts.”
Professor Nissen says physiotherapists will
trial prescribing in emergency departments in
the area of musculoskeletal conditions, where
the evidence for practice is strong, while phar-
macists will trial prescribing across a range of areas.
“It’s very obvious sort of scope of practice
in emergency departments for physiotherapists
where you are looking at not your high trauma
categories but sort of those cases that take
quite a bit of time in emergency,” she says.
“They could be dealt with by people who
have skill sets specifically to manage that kind
of presentation, acknowledging that if they
could add prescribing for things, like analge-
sics, that that could free up spaces in emergen-
cy departments for some of those other cases
to come through.
“For pharmacy, it’s a different sort of mix
and we have previously piloted pharmacists
prescribing inside Queensland Health in pre-
admission clinic and also in a HIV outpatients
clinic on the Gold Coast.
“Pharmacists are more aligned to medi-
cines’ use as a profession, you can see areas
like emergency for chronic disease patients,
pre-admission clinic, chronic disease outpa-
tient clinics, some in oncology, geriatrics - so
it’s a broader mix of models of care that phar-
macy is interested in prescribing a pilot model
for.”
Professor Nissen hopes the training pro-
gram will form the basis for future courses in
allied health prescribing.
“We intend on integrating these courses
into our postgrad program so that people could
do them as actual enrolled units for award -
that is our plan,” she says.
“In a way, it provides the opportunity for
us to consolidate things that we’ve learnt and
developed in other areas and tailor them to the
allied health space.
“It could be speech pathologists, it could
be dietitians, psychologists, diabetes educa-
tors,” she says.
“There’s an eclectic mix that are on the
cusp of wanting to play in this space and we
need to have a robust course that can accom-
modate any of those.”

New online CPD for nurses and midwives
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Feder-
ation (ANMF) has launched a new range of online
CPD courses covering cardiology, endocrinology,
gastroenterology, immunology and neurology.
The Body Systems Training Room (BSTR)
features more than 30 courses on anatomy, phys-
iology, disease and disease management, along
with medical procedures.
ANMF federal education officer Jodie Davis
said the new training room is designed to pro-
vide an affordable and practical option for nurses
and midwives working to meet the minimum of
20 hours of continuing professional development
(CPD) required each year for national registration.
Ms Davis said with more than 230,000 mem-
bers spread across a range of roles and geo-
graphical settings, it was a major challenge to
provide high quality and affordable CPD services.
“Our online training rooms allow nurses and
midwives to undertake their CPD training without
the costs of time associated with attending face
to face training,” she said.
“Courses provide an easy understanding of
complex body systems, medical and health care
concepts and scenarios, and courses include
audio narrations and interactive quizzes shared
through a story-board format.”
The latest training room adds to the ANMF’s
three separate professional development training
rooms.
It also has an Aged Care Training Room
(ACTR) for nurses working in residential or com-
munity aged care with 60 learning activities,
ranging from medication management and nutri-
tion for older people to culturally and linguistically
diverse older people, post-traumatic stress disor-
der and Parkinson’s Disease.For the full article visit NCAH.com.au

Parkinson’s nurse covers medication managementBy Karen Keast
P roper medication management can make a
world of difference to someone with Parkin-
son’s disease, just ask Mary Jones.
The registered nurse of 53 years, who has
spent 16 years specialising in Parkinson’s and
movement disorders, knows how important it is
to get medication right but she says it’s an area
where confusion often reigns.
“This would be the most
complex medication regime,”
she says.
“For the patient who
only sees a GP or even
a neurologist, who is
not specialising, the
importance of the
medication is just
unbelievably critical
unlike any other condi-
tion I have worked with
in nursing in all of those
years.
“It’s when you take them
and how you take them and at
what times of the day.
“It’s a very unusual schedule that the pa-
tients are usually on - it’s complex but do it
right and their quality of life will improve dra-
matically.”
Ms Jones is just one of a handful of Par-
kinson’s nurses around Australia working in
private practice.
She will speak on medication management
at Parkinson’s Victoria’s first ‘Living well with
Parkinson’s’ seminar, as part of Parkinson’s
Awareness Month, featuring some of Austral-
ia’s leading experts in the disease, being held
from September 11-12 in Melbourne.
“The emphasis is that the patients’ knowl-
edge is empowerment - that they need to know
what their medications are, when they should
take them, why they are taking them.
“They need to be really informed.”
Originally from New Zealand, Ms Jones
works with Victorian neurologist Richard Pep-
pard, supporting patients from diag-
nosis to advanced management
and has a particular interest
in deep brain stimulation
surgery.
Ms Jones, who
started the first multi-
disciplinary clinic for
movement disorders
at Eastern Health in
1998 and was the first
Parkinson’s nurse in
the community in 2000,
says she loves the variety
of working as a Parkinson’s
nurse.
“I call it a designer disease
because every person is totally different
in how they react to the medications and what
medications they need,” she says.
“I also find that for people with a chronic con-
dition, they are an amazing group of people who
really, really appreciate the support of a Parkin-
son’s nurse because it’s so rare that they have
access to it.
“It’s also the excitement of seeing the ability to
change someone’s life because often that’s what it
does.”
The seminar will feature streams for health pro-
fessionals as well as people living with Parkinson’s.

Nurses and midwives oppose AMA co-payment push
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federa-
tion (ANMF) has rejected the Australian Medical As-
sociation’s (AMA) push for a $6.15 GP co-payment.
The peak body for nurses and midwives is
standing firm against the introduction of all co-pay-
ments despite the AMA pushing for a co-payment
where concession card holders and children under
16 are exempt.
The AMA’s model also calls for aged care and
home visits, along with treatment for mental health
and chronic disease, to be excluded from the co-
payment fee.
The proposal comes as Prime Minister Tony
Abbott told media the government will continue
to forge ahead with its $7 co-payment, which ex-
empts concession card holders and children after
their first 10 visits.
ANMF federal secretary Lee Thomas said the
introduction of any form of co-payment for ba-
sic health services will hurt communities nation-
wide.
“We support the AMA’s position that there
be no cuts to the Medicare patient rebate, but
the ANMF’s view on co-payments remains un-
changed – we strongly oppose any form of a
user pays scheme for basic health services,” Ms
Thomas said in a statement.
“The AMA, like the government, talks about
sending a ‘price signal’ but out-of-pocket costs
are already far too high and the introduction of
co-payments will only shift further cost burden on
to individual patients – and that’s not the answer.

gastroenterology, immunology and neurology.
The Body Systems Training Room (BSTR)
features more than 30 courses on anatomy, phys-
iology, disease and disease management, along
with medical procedures.
ANMF federal education officer Jodie Davis
said the new training room is designed to pro-
vide an affordable and practical option for nurses
and midwives working to meet the minimum of
20 hours of continuing professional development
(CPD) required each year for national registration.
Ms Davis said with more than 230,000 mem-
bers spread across a range of roles and geo-
graphical settings, it was a major challenge to
provide high quality and affordable CPD services.
“Our online training rooms allow nurses and
midwives to undertake their CPD training without
the costs of time associated with attending face
to face training,” she said.
“Courses provide an easy understanding of
complex body systems, medical and health care
concepts and scenarios, and courses include
audio narrations and interactive quizzes shared
through a story-board format.”
The latest training room adds to the ANMF’s
three separate professional development training
rooms.
It also has an Aged Care Training Room
(ACTR) for nurses working in residential or com-
munity aged care with 60 learning activities,
ranging from medication management and nutri-
tion for older people to culturally and linguistically
diverse older people, post-traumatic stress disor-
der and Parkinson’s Disease.For the full article visit NCAH.com.au

Parkinson’s nurse covers medication managementBy Karen Keast
Proper medication management can make a
world of difference to someone with Parkin-
son’s disease, just ask Mary Jones.
The registered nurse of 53 years, who has
spent 16 years specialising in Parkinson’s and
movement disorders, knows how important it is
to get medication right but she says it’s an area
where confusion often reigns.
“This would be the most
complex medication regime,”
she says.
“For the patient who
only sees a GP or even
a neurologist, who is
not specialising, the
importance of the
medication is just
unbelievably critical
unlike any other condi-
tion I have worked with
in nursing in all of those
years.
“It’s when you take them
and how you take them and at
what times of the day.
“It’s a very unusual schedule that the pa-
tients are usually on - it’s complex but do it
right and their quality of life will improve dra-
matically.”
Ms Jones is just one of a handful of Par-
kinson’s nurses around Australia working in
private practice.
She will speak on medication management
at Parkinson’s Victoria’s first ‘Living well with
Parkinson’s’ seminar, as part of Parkinson’s
Awareness Month, featuring some of Austral-
ia’s leading experts in the disease, being held
from September 11-12 in Melbourne.
“The emphasis is that the patients’ knowl-
edge is empowerment - that they need to know
what their medications are, when they should
take them, why they are taking them.
“They need to be really informed.”
Originally from New Zealand, Ms Jones
works with Victorian neurologist Richard Pep-
pard, supporting patients from diag-
nosis to advanced management
and has a particular interest
in deep brain stimulation
surgery.
Ms Jones, who
started the first multi-
disciplinary clinic for
movement disorders
at Eastern Health in
1998 and was the first
Parkinson’s nurse in
the community in 2000,
says she loves the variety
of working as a Parkinson’s
nurse.
“I call it a designer disease
because every person is totally different
in how they react to the medications and what
medications they need,” she says.
“I also find that for people with a chronic con-
dition, they are an amazing group of people who
really, really appreciate the support of a Parkin-
son’s nurse because it’s so rare that they have
access to it.
“It’s also the excitement of seeing the ability to
change someone’s life because often that’s what it
does.”
The seminar will feature streams for health pro-
fessionals as well as people living with Parkinson’s.

New online CPD for nurses and midwives
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Feder-
ation (ANMF) has launched a new range of online
CPD courses covering cardiology, endocrinology,
gastroenterology, immunology and neurology.
The Body Systems Training Room (BSTR)
features more than 30 courses on anatomy, phys-
iology, disease and disease management, along
with medical procedures.
ANMF federal education officer Jodie Davis
said the new training room is designed to pro-
vide an affordable and practical option for nurses
and midwives working to meet the minimum of
20 hours of continuing professional development
(CPD) required each year for national registration.
Ms Davis said with more than 230,000 mem-
bers spread across a range of roles and geo-
graphical settings, it was a major challenge to
provide high quality and affordable CPD services.
“Our online training rooms allow nurses and
midwives to undertake their CPD training without
the costs of time associated with attending face
to face training,” she said.
“Courses provide an easy understanding of
complex body systems, medical and health care
concepts and scenarios, and courses include
audio narrations and interactive quizzes shared
through a story-board format.”
The latest training room adds to the ANMF’s
three separate professional development training
rooms.
It also has an Aged Care Training Room
(ACTR) for nurses working in residential or com-
munity aged care with 60 learning activities,
ranging from medication management and nutri-
tion for older people to culturally and linguistically
diverse older people, post-traumatic stress disor-
der and Parkinson’s Disease.For the full article visit NCAH.com.au

Parkinson’s nurse covers medication managementBy Karen Keast
Proper medication management can make a
world of difference to someone with Parkin-
son’s disease, just ask Mary Jones.
The registered nurse of 53 years, who has
spent 16 years specialising in Parkinson’s and
movement disorders, knows how important it is
to get medication right but she says it’s an area
where confusion often reigns.
“This would be the most
complex medication regime,”
she says.
“For the patient who
only sees a GP or even
a neurologist, who is
not specialising, the
importance of the
medication is just
unbelievably critical
unlike any other condi-
tion I have worked with
in nursing in all of those
years.
“It’s when you take them
and how you take them and at
what times of the day.
“It’s a very unusual schedule that the pa-
tients are usually on - it’s complex but do it
right and their quality of life will improve dra-
matically.”
Ms Jones is just one of a handful of Par-
kinson’s nurses around Australia working in
private practice.
She will speak on medication management
at Parkinson’s Victoria’s first ‘Living well with
Parkinson’s’ seminar, as part of Parkinson’s
Awareness Month, featuring some of Austral-
ia’s leading experts in the disease, being held
from September 11-12 in Melbourne.
“The emphasis is that the patients’ knowl-
edge is empowerment - that they need to know
what their medications are, when they should
take them, why they are taking them.
“They need to be really informed.”
Originally from New Zealand, Ms Jones
works with Victorian neurologist Richard Pep-
pard, supporting patients from diag-
nosis to advanced management
and has a particular interest
in deep brain stimulation
surgery.
Ms Jones, who
started the first multi-
disciplinary clinic for
movement disorders
at Eastern Health in
1998 and was the first
Parkinson’s nurse in
the community in 2000,
says she loves the variety
of working as a Parkinson’s
nurse.
“I call it a designer disease
because every person is totally different
in how they react to the medications and what
medications they need,” she says.
“I also find that for people with a chronic con-
dition, they are an amazing group of people who
really, really appreciate the support of a Parkin-
son’s nurse because it’s so rare that they have
access to it.
“It’s also the excitement of seeing the ability to
change someone’s life because often that’s what it
does.”
The seminar will feature streams for health pro-
fessionals as well as people living with Parkinson’s.

Nurses and midwives oppose AMA co-payment push
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federa-
tion (ANMF) has rejected the Australian Medical As-
sociation’s (AMA) push for a $6.15 GP co-payment.
The peak body for nurses and midwives is
standing firm against the introduction of all co-pay-
ments despite the AMA pushing for a co-payment
where concession card holders and children under
16 are exempt.
The AMA’s model also calls for aged care and
home visits, along with treatment for mental health
and chronic disease, to be excluded from the co-
payment fee.
The proposal comes as Prime Minister Tony
Abbott told media the government will continue
to forge ahead with its $7 co-payment, which ex-
empts concession card holders and children after
their first 10 visits.
ANMF federal secretary Lee Thomas said the
introduction of any form of co-payment for ba-
sic health services will hurt communities nation-
wide.
“We support the AMA’s position that there
be no cuts to the Medicare patient rebate, but
the ANMF’s view on co-payments remains un-
changed – we strongly oppose any form of a
user pays scheme for basic health services,” Ms
Thomas said in a statement.
“The AMA, like the government, talks about
sending a ‘price signal’ but out-of-pocket costs
are already far too high and the introduction of
co-payments will only shift further cost burden on
to individual patients – and that’s not the answer.

Property Club investors not paying tax?
How am I going to tell
Tony?
Over the last 20 years we’ve shown thousands of Australians how to invest in property without paying tax
The Property Club has over 80,000 members in Australia who use money they’d normally
pay to the taxman, to buy investment property. The late Kerry Packer famously said “you
can’t get rich paying tax”. He was right. The Property Club can show you how you can buy
mally pay to the taxman.
Just like rent, tax money that you don’t have to pay is dead money. We’ve helped thousands
of Australians to buy investment property and not pay unnecessary tax.

Parkinson’s nurse covers medication managementBy Karen Keast
P roper medication management can make a
world of difference to someone with Parkin-
son’s disease, just ask Mary Jones.
The registered nurse of 53 years, who has
spent 16 years specialising in Parkinson’s and
movement disorders, knows how important it is
to get medication right but she says it’s an area
where confusion often reigns.
“This would be the most
complex medication regime,”
she says.
“For the patient who
only sees a GP or even
a neurologist, who is
not specialising, the
importance of the
medication is just
unbelievably critical
unlike any other condi-
tion I have worked with
in nursing in all of those
years.
“It’s when you take them
and how you take them and at
what times of the day.
“It’s a very unusual schedule that the pa-
tients are usually on - it’s complex but do it
right and their quality of life will improve dra-
matically.”
Ms Jones is just one of a handful of Par-
kinson’s nurses around Australia working in
private practice.
She will speak on medication management
at Parkinson’s Victoria’s first ‘Living well with
Parkinson’s’ seminar, as part of Parkinson’s
Awareness Month, featuring some of Austral-
ia’s leading experts in the disease, being held
from September 11-12 in Melbourne.
“The emphasis is that the patients’ knowl-
edge is empowerment - that they need to know
what their medications are, when they should
take them, why they are taking them.
“They need to be really informed.”
Originally from New Zealand, Ms Jones
works with Victorian neurologist Richard Pep-
pard, supporting patients from diag-
nosis to advanced management
and has a particular interest
in deep brain stimulation
surgery.
Ms Jones, who
started the first multi-
disciplinary clinic for
movement disorders
at Eastern Health in
1998 and was the first
Parkinson’s nurse in
the community in 2000,
says she loves the variety
of working as a Parkinson’s
nurse.
“I call it a designer disease
because every person is totally different
in how they react to the medications and what
medications they need,” she says.
“I also find that for people with a chronic con-
dition, they are an amazing group of people who
really, really appreciate the support of a Parkin-
son’s nurse because it’s so rare that they have
access to it.
“It’s also the excitement of seeing the ability to
change someone’s life because often that’s what it
does.”
The seminar will feature streams for health pro-
fessionals as well as people living with Parkinson’s.

Australia’s first allied health prescribing training
Thirteen physiotherapists and 10 pharma-
cists are participating in the nation’s first allied
health education and training program for pre-
scribing.
The Queensland University of Tech-
nology (QUT) has created the
Allied Health Prescribing
Training program as
part of a Queensland
Health initiative
that aims to in-
troduce models
of care featur-
ing allied health
prescribing.
It comes
after the final
report from the
Ministerial Task-
force on Health
Practitioner Expand-
ed Scope of Practice
this year outlined a num-
ber of evidence-based mod-
els of care that expand the scope of
practice of allied health professionals, in a bid
to address the community’s health care needs.
The report states allied health profession-
als working in full scope and extended scope
roles will not only be cost-effective but will also
reduce waiting times in emergency depart-
ments and for specialist and surgical appoint-
ments, improve patient flow, and maintain and
even boost patient satisfaction while achieving
positive clinical outcomes.
With the move to podiatry prescribing and
QUT’s prescribing course for podiatrists being
delivered for the first time this year, QUT was
also selected to develop the allied health train-
ing program that’s aligned to the NPS Medi-
cinewise Prescribing Competencies Frame-
work as part of the initiative.
Queensland Health, through the Allied
Health Profession’s Office of Queensland
(AHPOQ) has offered scholarship funding to
Queensland Health employees, who also had
to demonstrate support from within their hos-
pital and health service for the implementation
of the prescribing model as part of a research
trial.
Professor Lisa Nissen, the head of QUT’s
School of Clinical Sciences, says the training
is similar to a corporate education program,
not an award course, that’s been specifically
designed for the Queensland Health initiative.
“I have set it up like a course but we can’t
at this point give them an award, in the future
we would like to be able to give people credit
for having undertaken it,” she says.
“Because we are running it for the pur-
pose of the pilot for Queensland Health it’s
like a high level corporate education program
that has been mapped to the NPS competen-
cies.”
Professor Nissen says the program, which
she assisted in developing as part of an in-
terdisciplinary team of health professionals,
consists of two units - clinical therapeutics
for prescribers, and prescribing and quality
use of medicines.
A pioneering training program designed to enable allied health prescribing has been launched in Queensland. The initiative aims to pave the way for a radical transformation of how health care is delivered to the community. By Karen Keast
The program, a mixture of online learning
and interactive seminar teleconferences, also
involves 120 hours of learning in practice.
A former hospital pharmacist and cur-
rent Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA)
Queensland branch president, Professor Nis-
sen says most participants are expected to
complete the program by March next year.
“We believe that we’ve created a very ro-
bust program that will create very well prepared
people and already it’s challenged the physi-
os,” she says.
“It’s challenged them because they have
had to look at drugs other than the handful that
they thought they’d have to.
“That’s what it’s supposed to do - it’s sup-
posed to challenge people to think about the
accountability and responsibility that comes
with being a prescriber and we don’t apologise
for that.”
A Department of Health spokesperson
says the program will enable the group of allied
health professionals to undertake prescribing
trials within a research framework, subject to
approval by a Human Research Ethics Com-
mittee.
“All allied health professionals undertaking
prescribing as part of a trial will have an iden-
tified medical officer who will provide support
and supervision,” the spokesperson says.
“When prescribing is currently not part of
the scope of practice of the allied health pro-
fession, credentialing will be required by the lo-
cal hospital and health service.
“Extending the scope of practice for allied
health professionals may be pursued where it
enhances the patient journey or improves pa-
tient experience and will relate to specific con-
texts.”
Professor Nissen says physiotherapists will
trial prescribing in emergency departments in
the area of musculoskeletal conditions, where
the evidence for practice is strong, while phar-
macists will trial prescribing across a range of areas.
“It’s very obvious sort of scope of practice
in emergency departments for physiotherapists
where you are looking at not your high trauma
categories but sort of those cases that take
quite a bit of time in emergency,” she says.
“They could be dealt with by people who
have skill sets specifically to manage that kind
of presentation, acknowledging that if they
could add prescribing for things, like analge-
sics, that that could free up spaces in emergen-
cy departments for some of those other cases
to come through.
“For pharmacy, it’s a different sort of mix
and we have previously piloted pharmacists
prescribing inside Queensland Health in pre-
admission clinic and also in a HIV outpatients
clinic on the Gold Coast.
“Pharmacists are more aligned to medi-
cines’ use as a profession, you can see areas
like emergency for chronic disease patients,
pre-admission clinic, chronic disease outpa-
tient clinics, some in oncology, geriatrics - so
it’s a broader mix of models of care that phar-
macy is interested in prescribing a pilot model
for.”
Professor Nissen hopes the training pro-
gram will form the basis for future courses in
allied health prescribing.
“We intend on integrating these courses
into our postgrad program so that people could
do them as actual enrolled units for award -
that is our plan,” she says.
“In a way, it provides the opportunity for
us to consolidate things that we’ve learnt and
developed in other areas and tailor them to the
allied health space.
“It could be speech pathologists, it could
be dietitians, psychologists, diabetes educa-
tors,” she says.
“There’s an eclectic mix that are on the
cusp of wanting to play in this space and we
need to have a robust course that can accom-
modate any of those.”

Australia’s first allied health prescribing training
Thirteen physiotherapists and 10 pharma-
cists are participating in the nation’s first allied
health education and training program for pre-
scribing.
The Queensland University of Tech-
nology (QUT) has created the
Allied Health Prescribing
Training program as
part of a Queensland
Health initiative
that aims to in-
troduce models
of care featur-
ing allied health
prescribing.
It comes
after the final
report from the
Ministerial Task-
force on Health
Practitioner Expand-
ed Scope of Practice
this year outlined a num-
ber of evidence-based mod-
els of care that expand the scope of
practice of allied health professionals, in a bid
to address the community’s health care needs.
The report states allied health profession-
als working in full scope and extended scope
roles will not only be cost-effective but will also
reduce waiting times in emergency depart-
ments and for specialist and surgical appoint-
ments, improve patient flow, and maintain and
even boost patient satisfaction while achieving
positive clinical outcomes.
With the move to podiatry prescribing and
QUT’s prescribing course for podiatrists being
delivered for the first time this year, QUT was
also selected to develop the allied health train-
ing program that’s aligned to the NPS Medi-
cinewise Prescribing Competencies Frame-
work as part of the initiative.
Queensland Health, through the Allied
Health Profession’s Office of Queensland
(AHPOQ) has offered scholarship funding to
Queensland Health employees, who also had
to demonstrate support from within their hos-
pital and health service for the implementation
of the prescribing model as part of a research
trial.
Professor Lisa Nissen, the head of QUT’s
School of Clinical Sciences, says the training
is similar to a corporate education program,
not an award course, that’s been specifically
designed for the Queensland Health initiative.
“I have set it up like a course but we can’t
at this point give them an award, in the future
we would like to be able to give people credit
for having undertaken it,” she says.
“Because we are running it for the pur-
pose of the pilot for Queensland Health it’s
like a high level corporate education program
that has been mapped to the NPS competen-
cies.”
Professor Nissen says the program, which
she assisted in developing as part of an in-
terdisciplinary team of health professionals,
consists of two units - clinical therapeutics
for prescribers, and prescribing and quality
use of medicines.
A pioneering training program designed to enable allied health prescribing has been launched in Queensland. The initiative aims to pave the way for a radical transformation of how health care is delivered to the community. By Karen Keast
The program, a mixture of online learning
and interactive seminar teleconferences, also
involves 120 hours of learning in practice.
A former hospital pharmacist and cur-
rent Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA)
Queensland branch president, Professor Nis-
sen says most participants are expected to
complete the program by March next year.
“We believe that we’ve created a very ro-
bust program that will create very well prepared
people and already it’s challenged the physi-
os,” she says.
“It’s challenged them because they have
had to look at drugs other than the handful that
they thought they’d have to.
“That’s what it’s supposed to do - it’s sup-
posed to challenge people to think about the
accountability and responsibility that comes
with being a prescriber and we don’t apologise
for that.”
A Department of Health spokesperson
says the program will enable the group of allied
health professionals to undertake prescribing
trials within a research framework, subject to
approval by a Human Research Ethics Com-
mittee.
“All allied health professionals undertaking
prescribing as part of a trial will have an iden-
tified medical officer who will provide support
and supervision,” the spokesperson says.
“When prescribing is currently not part of
the scope of practice of the allied health pro-
fession, credentialing will be required by the lo-
cal hospital and health service.
“Extending the scope of practice for allied
health professionals may be pursued where it
enhances the patient journey or improves pa-
tient experience and will relate to specific con-
texts.”
Professor Nissen says physiotherapists will
trial prescribing in emergency departments in
the area of musculoskeletal conditions, where
the evidence for practice is strong, while phar-
macists will trial prescribing across a range of areas.
“It’s very obvious sort of scope of practice
in emergency departments for physiotherapists
where you are looking at not your high trauma
categories but sort of those cases that take
quite a bit of time in emergency,” she says.
“They could be dealt with by people who
have skill sets specifically to manage that kind
of presentation, acknowledging that if they
could add prescribing for things, like analge-
sics, that that could free up spaces in emergen-
cy departments for some of those other cases
to come through.
“For pharmacy, it’s a different sort of mix
and we have previously piloted pharmacists
prescribing inside Queensland Health in pre-
admission clinic and also in a HIV outpatients
clinic on the Gold Coast.
“Pharmacists are more aligned to medi-
cines’ use as a profession, you can see areas
like emergency for chronic disease patients,
pre-admission clinic, chronic disease outpa-
tient clinics, some in oncology, geriatrics - so
it’s a broader mix of models of care that phar-
macy is interested in prescribing a pilot model
for.”
Professor Nissen hopes the training pro-
gram will form the basis for future courses in
allied health prescribing.
“We intend on integrating these courses
into our postgrad program so that people could
do them as actual enrolled units for award -
that is our plan,” she says.
“In a way, it provides the opportunity for
us to consolidate things that we’ve learnt and
developed in other areas and tailor them to the
allied health space.
“It could be speech pathologists, it could
be dietitians, psychologists, diabetes educa-
tors,” she says.
“There’s an eclectic mix that are on the
cusp of wanting to play in this space and we
need to have a robust course that can accom-
modate any of those.”

Medication pilot for pharmacists, RDNS nurses and GPs
Community pharmacists and GPs will work
with Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS)
nurses in a Victorian pilot project that aims to
improve medication self-management among
older patients.
The Quality Use of Medicines project will
target older people taking multiple medications
in a bid to reduce medication errors, hospital
admissions and re-admissions.
It comes as figures show more than 50 per
cent of medication errors take place during
care transitions and up to 15 per cent of hos-
pital admissions in older people are medication
related.
Pharmacy Guild Victorian branch president
Anthony Tassone said the project aims to im-
prove the medication reconciliation process.
“What they’ve found through research is
when a patient transitions care, so goes from
the hospital to the community when they’ve
been discharged, there is a risk of errors with
their medication or a discrepancy,” he says.
“They’ve found if a health professional,
let’s say a pharmacist, intervenes to provide a
medication reconciliation and reconciles what
they should be on based on the discharge and
the involvement of district nurses who do home
visits, they can reduce the rate of re-admis-
sions to hospital.”
The project will support GP referrals to
community pharmacists to access medication
reconciliation services, and encourage GPs to
work with patients and community pharmacists
to ensure GP records reconcile against pa-
tients’ records
It will also develop health literacy for older
patients on quality use of medicines and imple-
ment a re-call function six to 12 months after
the initial medication reconciliation to assess
any changes.
Mr Tassone said up to 100 patients in a
high-risk target group, who take more than seven
medications, will be the focus of the pilot but he
said details, including which pharmacies will be
involved, what geographic area the project will
cover, and when the pilot will begin, are still being
finalised.
He said the project is vital for older patients
and an important step forward for the pharmacy
profession.
“What it means is the opportunity to play a
specific role in using our skills as medicine ex-
perts to intervene for patient benefit, and hope-
fully be remunerated for our skills and expertise
in things that we do every day, but in a structured
and coordinated way that can be consistent and
ongoing,” he said.
“Also, it provides another opportunity to
work with other health professionals, doctors and
nurses, in a team environment to deliver great pa-
tient outcomes.”
The Health Innovation and Reform Council
(HIRC) recommended the project which has been
funded by the Victorian Department of Health
with in-kind contributions of staff through the
Pharmacy Guild of Australia Victorian branch and
the RDNS.
RDNS Victoria general manager Fiona Hearn
said new approaches are needed to support old-
er people living in the community, who are taking
more medications than ever before.
“RDNS’ home nursing and support services
are integral to the well-being of many thousands
of older people every day, especially in assisting
them to manage their medicines safely,” she said.
“The aims of this project are in line with our
commitment to investigate and implement new
practices which safely enhance the independ-
ence and capacity of older people.”

Ambulance tracking service launched
Queenslanders can now pinpoint almost ex-
actly where their paramedics and ambulances
are, all at the click of a button.
In an Australian first, the Queensland Ambu-
lance Service (QAS) has launched an online avail-
ability map in a bid to show the public real time
tracking of the state’s fleet of more than 1000
ambulances.
The tracking tool, running on the QAS web-
site via Facebook and Twitter, displays ambu-
lance locations in the far northern, northern,
central, north coast, Brisbane, south eastern and
south western regions of the state.
Directly linked to the Emergency Services
Computer Aided Dispatch system, it shows the
total number of vehicles available, and maps the
location of frontline operational response vehi-
cles and supervisor response vehicles.
It also details the number of busy vehicles as
well as how many are performing patient hando-
vers at hospitals but doesn’t display those vehi-
cles on the map due to patient confidentiality.
The tracking tool uses Integrated Real-Time
Operational Ambulance Management (iROAM)
software, developed by QAS and first launched
at the service three years ago.
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said
the QAS is embracing technology and social me-
dia for the benefit of the public and better work-
force management.
“Government should be open and account-
able, and now for the first time anyone can see
exactly how many ambulances are available at a
given time across the state,” he said in a state-
ment.
“Families want to know that if they have an
emergency, an ambulance will be available and
this is now possible.
“If there is pressure on the ambulance ser-
vice, that information will also be freely available,”
he added.
“We promised at the election to restore ac-
countability and we also promised to revitalise
frontline services.”
QAS commissioner Russell Bowles said the
tracking tool should also put an end to any confu-
sion around ambulance availability.
“One of the biggest misconceptions is that
when there are ambulances dropping patients at
a hospital, there are none available to respond to
other emergencies,” he said.
“Use of the QAS social media stream has
more than doubled in the past six months. We
can use this tool to dispel some of the myths.”

Medication pilot for pharmacists, RDNS nurses and GPs
Community pharmacists and GPs will work
with Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS)
nurses in a Victorian pilot project that aims to
improve medication self-management among
older patients.
The Quality Use of Medicines project will
target older people taking multiple medications
in a bid to reduce medication errors, hospital
admissions and re-admissions.
It comes as figures show more than 50 per
cent of medication errors take place during
care transitions and up to 15 per cent of hos-
pital admissions in older people are medication
related.
Pharmacy Guild Victorian branch president
Anthony Tassone said the project aims to im-
prove the medication reconciliation process.
“What they’ve found through research is
when a patient transitions care, so goes from
the hospital to the community when they’ve
been discharged, there is a risk of errors with
their medication or a discrepancy,” he says.
“They’ve found if a health professional,
let’s say a pharmacist, intervenes to provide a
medication reconciliation and reconciles what
they should be on based on the discharge and
the involvement of district nurses who do home
visits, they can reduce the rate of re-admis-
sions to hospital.”
The project will support GP referrals to
community pharmacists to access medication
reconciliation services, and encourage GPs to
work with patients and community pharmacists
to ensure GP records reconcile against pa-
tients’ records
It will also develop health literacy for older
patients on quality use of medicines and imple-
ment a re-call function six to 12 months after
the initial medication reconciliation to assess
any changes.
Mr Tassone said up to 100 patients in a
high-risk target group, who take more than seven
medications, will be the focus of the pilot but he
said details, including which pharmacies will be
involved, what geographic area the project will
cover, and when the pilot will begin, are still being
finalised.
He said the project is vital for older patients
and an important step forward for the pharmacy
profession.
“What it means is the opportunity to play a
specific role in using our skills as medicine ex-
perts to intervene for patient benefit, and hope-
fully be remunerated for our skills and expertise
in things that we do every day, but in a structured
and coordinated way that can be consistent and
ongoing,” he said.
“Also, it provides another opportunity to
work with other health professionals, doctors and
nurses, in a team environment to deliver great pa-
tient outcomes.”
The Health Innovation and Reform Council
(HIRC) recommended the project which has been
funded by the Victorian Department of Health
with in-kind contributions of staff through the
Pharmacy Guild of Australia Victorian branch and
the RDNS.
RDNS Victoria general manager Fiona Hearn
said new approaches are needed to support old-
er people living in the community, who are taking
more medications than ever before.
“RDNS’ home nursing and support services
are integral to the well-being of many thousands
of older people every day, especially in assisting
them to manage their medicines safely,” she said.
“The aims of this project are in line with our
commitment to investigate and implement new
practices which safely enhance the independ-
ence and capacity of older people.”
