In this webinar, Shane explores the vital role experienced nurses play in influencing government policy, funding decisions, and regulation within the care sector. He examines the real-world impact of care and welfare regulations on nursing homes and clinical teams, shares practical, experience-led approaches to HIQA preparedness, and discusses the potential for a new cost-of-care funding model that aligns resources with individual clinical need to improve sustainability and equity across the sector.

This session brings together the key themes explored across our recent webinars on sleeping in a riser recliner. Over the past 3 months, we’ve examined the impact of sleeping in a riser recliner on sleep hygiene, comfort, confidence, transfers, mobility, pain management, and tissue viability.

This chatty, podcast-style webinar offers a relaxed and interactive space to revisit the most important clinical messages from the quarter. Attendees are encouraged to submit questions in advance and during the session, creating an opportunity to explore real-world challenges, clarify key concepts, and deepen understanding of best practice when supporting individuals who sleep in a riser recliner.

We will also highlight relevant intervention solutions and explore practical strategies for teaching and supporting others, and we will share our Sleeping in a Riser Recliner Guide with attendees after the session to support ongoing learning and application in practice.

Whether you joined us throughout the series or are looking for a concise and practical summary, this session will consolidate learning and provide actionable insights to apply in practice.

What is Motor Neurone Disease and why should I know more about it?

In this 45min webinar we will examine the aetiology and pathology involved with motor neurone disease. We will look at different types of presentations and how these differ in terms of physical presentation and prognosis. We will explore how MND is diagnosed and what treatment options there are currently. In addition, we will start to explore common symptoms which will require intervention to help manage to improve quality of life and extend life expectancy in people who are living with MND.

This webinar provides occupational therapists with evidence-based guidance on the safe and effective use of toiletting slings and standing hoists in clinical and community settings. Participants will explore clinical reasoning for equipment selection, correct application techniques, and common risks associated with misuse. Through practical examples and problem-solving scenarios, the session will support therapists to optimise client safety, dignity, and functional participation while reducing the risk of injury to clients and carers.

Swollen legs are often dismissed as a minor or inevitable problem. In reality, unmanaged oedema can be the first step toward loss of mobility, independence, and quality of life.

This webinar raises awareness of how lower limb swelling triggers a downward spiral of heaviness, pain, reduced movement, muscle weakness, and fear of activity- often leading to deconditioning and patients becoming 'off-legs.' Everyday coping strategies, such as reduced walking or sleeping in a chair, can unintentionally worsen the problem.

Aimed at all healthcare professionals, this session shifts the focus from treating symptoms to recognising early warning signs and acting sooner. It highlights how simple, timely interventions can protect mobility, prevent avoidable decline, and help people remain independent for longer.
