CELIA LEARY, OAM

Founder and Past President

This presentation will take us on a journey through time and into the future for Day Surgery Nurses. Is it possible for us to anticipate what the future might hold for us. Are we currently introducing new cases or will we continue doing the same minor surgery you do now? What new skills might you develop?

We will take a look at what is happening overseas and consider if we should follow their lead? These are questions we need to think about and plan what Australia can accomplish in the area of Day Surgery in the future.

11.00am - Framing our Professional Practice

KIM BRYANT

RN, OpThCert, BN, GradCertAdEd, MEd

Deputy Executive Officer - Nursing and Midwifery NSW

Nurses are privileged to belong to a self-regulated profession. On one side of the coin are privileges, on the flipside are our responsibilities.

Let’s look at;

● What does self-regulation mean to each of us?
● How do we regulate ourselves and our colleagues?
● Professional standards, codes and guidelines – Do we know what they are and why they’re important?

11.30am - 25 years of Day Surgery - What's changed in Paediatric Opthalmology

DR STEPHEN HING

MBBS, FRANZCO, FRCOphth

Opthalmologist

Over the past 25 years the biggest change in my practice is the ethnic mix of the patients that I see. Once, mostly Anglo-Saxon patients with convergent squints, have changed to a wide mix of ethnic backgrounds and a change in the disease mix along with that. Exotropia surgery has become more common than esotropia surgery. More genetic eye diseases are apparent. Myopia is rife. I will also discuss parental attitudes to surgery in different cultural backgrounds.

12.10pm - What has happened in IVF in the last 40 years?

DR ANNE CLARK

FRCOG, FRANZCOG, CREI, MPS

Obstetrician/Gynaecologist

IVF was one of the first specialities to utilise day surgery in Australia, but since the birth of Louise Brown 40 years ago much has changed. Then the primary reason for IVF was for tubal disease, now it’s male infertility. The pregnancy rate was less than 10% per treatment cycle, now with the advent of better ovarian stimulation, laboratory regimes and embryo freezing, a couple can expect a greater than 50% chance of a baby.

Then if a woman had no eggs, adoption was a couple’s only option, now with egg donation the woman can carry the baby and her partner can be the genetic parent. We also have a greater understanding of lifestyle and other factors that contribute to fertility, for example, a low Vitamin D level alone can reduce a woman’s chance of conceiving via IVF by 30%!

The aim of this presentation, in your 25 year, is to highlight the changes, social, medical and ethical that have occurred over the same period of time in my specialty.

12.50pm - The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA)

ROSEMARY STAGG

2.00pm - Respect Me, Respect You: Utilising Clinical Simulation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Experience

ROSEMARY GILBY

RN, GCCS

Lecturer - Monash University

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are long standing innovators in designing health care. For example, the Aboriginal Medical Services commenced community based primary health care well before the World Health Organisation’s Alma Ata Declaration on Primary Health Care in 1978.

This session will explore how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander professional development content can be used in clinical simulation hypothesis to strengthen health professional understanding, resilience and confidence in working with individuals and families.

The focus will be on restorative support functions of clinical simulation and will cover principles of experiential learning, reflective practice, feedback, self-care,supportive workplace culture of working in and across teams to achieve culturally safe health care systems.

2.40pm - Robotic Surgery in Urology

DR ANTHONY HUTTON

BMed, FRACS, USANZ, AUA, ANZUP

Urologist

This talk involves a discussion of the origins of robotic surgery and the controversies regarding update of this technology. We then explore the specific peri-operative aspects of robotic surgery as they relate to Urology.

3.15pm - Change Without Fear

MARTY WILSON

Keynote Speaker

The price of admission to having a job these days is the ability to embrace the constantly accelerating pace of change. With technological innovations, disruptive business models and connected clients getting access to information from so many sources, it's no wonder so many of us feel exhausted by it all.

The great thing about Marty Wilson’s approach to change management is he starts with the fact that all these new systems and processes have to be implemented by human beings with hearts and minds, doubts and fears. Importantly, Marty uses well-researched case studies and scientific data, but he also illustrates all his content with deeply personal stories and hilarious anecdotes – as only a former Australian Comic of the Year could – to make sure even the most ardent cynic gets on board.

4.30pm - Closing & Celebration

Stay back after the Conference and join us for drinks to celebrate and continue networking with your Day Surgery colleagues!

Statina Healthcare Australia

Statina Healthcare Australia was established in 1998 to provide Fire Evacuation products to the Australian hospital and nursing home markets.

It quickly became obvious that there was also a growing need for better Manual Handling products in this same market area. Around this time, some facilities were starting to use Slide Sheets, rather than Draw Sheets, to reduce the friction between the patient and the bed and therefore make it easier for the carers to transfer and reposition patients in bed. Also at this time, the number of larger Bariatric patients presenting at hospitals was also increasing. This presented yet another Manual Handling problem for staff as the traditional Draw Sheet and new Slide Sheet were not able to cope well with the larger patients. In 2000, Statina Healthcare Australia introduced the HoverMatt to the Australian Market. The HoverMatt is able to transfer and reposition patients up to 544kg with minimal risk to carers.

Since 2000, Statina has introduced numerous products to assist in the care and management of larger patients including the HoverJack, the Shuttle Transit Chair, Bariatric Wheelchairs, Commodes, Walkers and more. Most recently, we have introduced several ranges of Post Surgical garments for the cosmetic surgery industry.

All of these products can be found detailed on this web site and more information is available by contacting our office on 1300 365 404.
