Stress less and start self care, stop burnout

We look at several aspects of infection prevention and control that are crucial to patient / client safety.  Evonne will explain  how micro-organisms behave, their capability of surviving in the environment and the modes of transmission.  We then assess the risks in what we do, and what we need to do in order to prevent the risk of new infections spreading to both the patient / client and ourselves.

Supporting people to remain safe at home is a key priority across health and social care. Prevention and early intervention focus on identifying risks early and taking action to reduce harm, maintain independence, and avoid escalation of need.

This practical webinar will explore how occupational therapists and clinicians can use early intervention strategies and equipment to reduce risk in the home environment. Using case-based examples, we will demonstrate how simple, timely interventions can prevent falls, reduce functional decline, and support people to remain safely at home for longer.

The session will include live demonstrations using equipment such as the floor bed and specialist seating, linking clinical reasoning to real-world outcomes.

In this session we will explore the fundamentals of reported pain, how it can present, how it can impact function and how often a chair is seen as the solution.

This session is aimed at providing therapists the opportunity to think around this common issue and enable them to ask investigatory questions to help adjust seating as required.
