Australia is a multicultural society and when exploring the breadth of the definition of culture, remote communities demonstrate great diversity, thus impacting on the provision of health services that meet the needs of communities and individuals

Abstracts will provide an opportunity for authors to communicate their recent experiences when dealing with the diversity and differences within communities, the successes and the challenges of providing accessible health services.

In creating and sustaining diversity within communities, the authors will need to show how the program/service impacted on the service provider(s), the services delivered, individuals, or community groups and the wins and the barriers to providing sustainable health outcomes.

Drawing on the conference title: Creating and Sustaining Diversity within Communities, abstracts are being sought that address this very broad perspective and provide opportunities for you to demonstrate the multi-factorial dimensions of remote health practice from the broad perspective of health and community.

NAHRLS LOCUM SERVICE

Prioritising Placements to Reach the Greatest Area of Need

Above: Mark Leddy, Practice Manager for Camperdown Clinic in Victoria. Using the NAHRLS Locum Service for CPD leave ensures that staff members maintain their accreditation and Camperdown Clinic are adequately staffed during their absence.

In December 2013, NAHRLS introduced the Prioritisation Checklist in response to the overwhelming locum support requests received and the fixed number of placements remaining this financial year.

General Manager, Mark Ellis, said “The number of placements NAHRLS has been able to �ll this �nancial year has been a great result for the programme and allows the continued provision of health care to Australian’s in rural and remote areas when health professionals need to leave their area of practice. This increase in usage, however, requires us to prioritise all future

requests for back�ll to ensure that remaining placement numbers are distributed effectively to reach the greatest area of need.”

The prioritisation checklist incorporates the eligibility criteria available on the NAHRLS website.

CPD activities and CPD activities combined with other professional development take priority over annual and other leave. Locum support is provided to cover periods of leave of up to 14 days and Locum support is not be provided for vacant positions under any circumstances.

Canberra’s health needs have allegedly been compromised, with the ACT Government coming under criticism for losing its grip on planning for the future.

The criticism comes after it was discovered the Canberra Hospital had been forced to use ‘over capacity beds’ or ‘surge beds’ on a regular basis.

It is understood the hospital opened eight ‘surge beds’ spread out across the general wards over a year ago, to provide overflow accommodation in particularly busy periods, however as patient numbers increased, the use of surge beds became constant.

As a result a new system of over capacity beds was introduced in 2013, where up to 11 beds normally used for day procedures would be available in the evening, a peak period for emergency departments. However the hospital has been running on average at 90 per cent occupancy, which means during the peaks, the figure is much higher.

ACT Opposition Leader Jeremy Hanson reportedly commented that the hospital’s capacity levels were potentially dangerous, with no beds available on some nights and 98 or 99 per cent of the beds full on a regular basis. He noted that the Australian Medical Association guidelines advise a figure over 85 per cent is potentially dangerous.

Lax planning the cause of ACT bed shortage?

The London Ambulance Service wants to recruit Australian and New Zealand paramedics in a bid to bridge its paramedic shortage.

The service has about 250 vacancies for registered paramedics and has been granted permission to sponsor 100 work visas a year for non-European paramedics.

The busiest emergency ambulance service in the United Kingdom has its sights set on recruiting paramedics in Australia and New Zealand, where the skills and training are similar to those of paramedics in the UK.

Paramedics recruited from Australia and New Zealand will be required to complete a short conversion course enabling them to treat patients in the UK.

As part of its plan to boost paramedic numbers, the service is also working with universities, sponsoring student paramedics and encouraging ex-military personnel to consider careers in the ambulance service.

“Year on year increases in demand and a requirement to have more registered health care professionals responding to patients means we are in need of a greater number of paramedics,” the service’s paramedic education and development director Mark Whitbread said in a statement.

“The same applies for other ambulance trusts across the UK but there is only a finite number of registered British paramedics.”

Mr Whitbread said it takes up to three years for those entering the profession to qualify as a paramedic, prompting the service to look overseas.

“While we are doing all we can to encourage people to consider paramedic science as a career, we are looking overseas to help bridge the gap.”

The ambulance service has more than 4,500 employees with 3,300 frontline staff working

across 70 ambulance stations spanning 620 square miles, from Heathrow in the west to Upminster in the east, and from Enfield in the north to Purley in the south.

The service receives around 4,000 calls a day, and almost a quarter of those are immediately life-threatening.

“You’ll quickly see why we place so much emphasis on finding the right people to carry out the vital work that we do,” the service’s website states.

“Working in London will give you a level of experience which is second to none with the opportunity to really develop your practice as a paramedic.”

In the past four years, the ambulance service has doubled its cardiac arrest survival rate.

“We strive to provide our patients with the level of care that distinguishes us as a great service provider,” it states.

“In the future, we envisage that we will be taking fewer patients to hospital by using alternative pathways, treating more patients in their home and giving more advice to callers over the phone.”

As a national review of mental health services gets underway, the Australasian Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health has called for a more consistent approach to mental health policy.

The centre’s Dr Jennifer Bowers reportedly said challenges specific to rural life such as floods, fires or droughts continued to bring renewed attention to the difficulties of delivering good mental health services outside the cities. However attention often evaporated too soon after the event, she said.

“It’s really after that event that people need to take stock, and what happens is they throw a lot of money at it at the time, but in between times there are no additional resources or ways of actually getting in to those people to get them to prepare and help themselves in the meantime.”

Mental health review welcomed by rural health advocates

It is understood the hospital opened eight ‘surge beds’ spread out across the general wards over a year ago, to provide overflow accommodation in particularly busy periods, however as patient numbers increased, the use of surge beds became constant.

As a result a new system of over capacity beds was introduced in 2013, where up to 11 beds normally used for day procedures would be available in the evening, a peak period for emergency departments. However the hospital has been running on average at 90 per cent occupancy, which means during the peaks, the figure is much higher.

ACT Opposition Leader Jeremy Hanson reportedly commented that the hospital’s capacity levels were potentially dangerous, with no beds available on some nights and 98 or 99 per cent of the beds full on a regular basis. He noted that the Australian Medical Association guidelines advise a figure over 85 per cent is potentially dangerous.

Lax planning the cause of ACT bed shortage?

Cancer is now the world’s biggest killer - and the cancer burden is expected to rise 75 per cent in the next two decades, according to a new global scientific report.

The World Cancer Report 2014, released from the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), shows cancer is responsible for an estimated 8.2 million deaths annually and is expected to increase to 13 million deaths a year.

In 2012, there were an estimated 14 million new cases and that figure is predicted to rise to exceed 20 million new cases annually in 2025.

Cancer Nurses Society of Australia president Sandy McKiernan, who is also the Cancer Council WA cancer information and support services director, said the workforce will need more nurses and other health professionals.

“Into the future we need to expand our workforce models and engage nurses outside of cancer specialties, those working in non-specialised cancer roles, to be more prepared for caring for someone with cancer and other chronic diseases,” she said.

“Nurses play a crucial role in providing care, support, information and guidance around treatment and its effects to those diagnosed with cancer and their families.

“Nurses and allied health play an integral part and active role in increasing awareness and debunking the myths about cancer, and provide information about reducing risk, particularly in areas such as lifestyle modification to the families of people diagnosed with cancer.”

Cancer Council Australia spokesperson Terry Slevin said the report shows Australia has one of the world’s highest cancer incidence rates, third in the world behind Denmark and France.

Four mental health nurses will spend three days riding 237 kilometres next month in a bid to raise funds and awareness about schizophrenia.

The four nurses will join a team of 10 staff and supporters from New South Wales’ unique ROAM Communities Institute, a not-for-profit mental health nursing charity in South West Sydney, for its inaugural schizophrenia awareness ride.

The team of recreational cyclists will ride from Canberra’s National Primary Mental Health Care Conference to Camden from March 21-23, with the event culminating in a dinner and reception, featuring speakers, mental health experts Dr John Mendoza and Associate Professor Bill Goodin.

Matthew James, ROAM Communities general manager and a nurse practitioner candidate in psychiatry, said schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects about 200,000 people, or one per cent of Australians.

“Incredibly, people living with schizophrenia have a life expectancy 25 years lower than the general population, and four out of every five Aussie adults with schizophrenia are unemployed and have more than three times the chance of becoming homeless on comparison to the general population,” he said.

“Through our ride, we want to make it clear that there are local services available to help anyone suffering the effects of schizophrenia and raise some money that can go towards ensuring these services continue to be made available long into the future.”

Mr James, a nurse of 15 years who has specialised in mental health for the past nine years and is one of the founders of the ROAM Communities Institute, said the ride also hopes

to highlight the link between physical and mental health.

“What’s really killing people with mental illness, it’s not schizophrenia, it’s not depression…it’s heart attacks, it’s strokes, it’s diabetes,” he  said.

Mr James said the ride aims to raise some of the $100,000 fundraising needed this year to keep the service operating.

ROAM Communities provides more than 2000 sessions of mobile and centre-based psychiatry annually to people with schizophrenia and other severe mental health illnesses.

The mental health recovery institute is seeking business sponsors and donations for its ride. For more information visit http://www.roamcommunities.org.au

Psychologists, not coordinator teachers, should be employed to deliver mental health services in schools across South Australia, according to the Australian Psychological Society.

The APS, which represents more than 21,000 psychologists across Australia, has called on the state government to provide a level of school psychologists on par with other states.

With one school psychologist for every 3000 students in some states and territories, South Australia is considered the worst performer with one psychologist for every 4000 students.

The call comes after the state government announced $3.8 million to ensure every student in the state has access to school counselling, extending the funding for school counsellors in primary and secondary schools.

APS spokesman David Stokes welcomed the funding boost but said appropriately trained and qualified psychologists should provide the services.

“Ideally, all students should have access to appropriate services, as we know that the incidence of mental health difficulties does not discriminate according to location nor relative affluence,” he said.

“However, the APS understands that, at present, there is no requirement on the level of training for this role other than a teaching qualification.

“The increasing prevalence and complexity of child and adolescent mental health issues is well recognised.

“School psychologists based in schools are best placed to assist with these issues, and to provide appropriate evidence-based interventions to support students, school staff and families.”

APS says schools need more psychologists

The Australian College of Mental Health Nurses introduced its Credential for Practice Program 10 years ago. The program recognises the qualifications, skills and experience of about 1400 mental health nurses and is also working to strengthen the profession, writes Karen Keast.

Since 2004, the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses’ (ACMHN) Credential for Practice Program (CPP) has been setting a new benchmark in mental health nursing.

The College developed the program in response to changes to nursing education and regulating policy in Australia in the 1990s.

As many entry psychiatric/mental health nursing courses were being phased out, the ACMHN stepped up its self-governance role, developing practice standards and the credentialing program.

Anne Buck, ACMHN policy and stakeholder engagement manager, says the program stands as the only recognition system in Australia that identifies mental health nurses.

“It is basically used to identify to the employers, to the consumers and to colleagues who is a mental health nurse,” she says.

“Without that, there isn’t a mechanism by which you can distinguish between a nurse who has undertaken additional qualifications in mental health nursing and a nurse who has no additional qualifications in the area of mental health nursing.

“What the credential is actually saying is this person has not only undertaken specialist qualifications but they’re maintaining their professional development and they’re maintaining their practice in the area of mental health nursing.”

What is credentialing?

A credentialed mental health nurse is a specialist nurse who has demonstrated the CPP criteria, as established by the ACMHN, in the areas of education, practice experience, professional development and professional integrity.

To become credentialed through the CPP, mental health nurses must meet a range of criteria, such as being a registered nurse in Australia, holding a specialist/post graduate mental health nursing qualification and must have demonstrated duration of practice - 12 months’ experience since completion of their specialist/post graduate mental health nursing qualification or three years’ experience as a registered nurse working in a mental health context.

They must also be able to show recency of practice in mental health, continuing professional development, be supported by two professional referees and make a declaration agreeing to uphold the standards of the profession.

Ms Buck says credentialing is a verification process.

“The application form guides the nurse through the information they need to provide,” she says.

“They provide us with the information and the evidence to demonstrate that they’ve got a qualification, that they’ve been registered as a nurse, and that they have got the experience and recent practice that our criteria require.

“There is a CPD log that needs to be provided as part of the application and a couple of references.”

Applications are first checked administratively before credentialed mental health nurses, who have undertaken a training program, assess

Mental health nurse credentialingthe applications through the College’s peer-review process.

From the time the application is submitted, it takes around six weeks to be processed and reviewed and for the nurse to be informed of the outcome of their credentialing application.

Ms Buck says the credentialing program is a great investment in nurses’ professional development.

“They initially find it to be daunting at first glance…because it requires nurses to reflect on themselves and put some time towards themselves, which as a profession nurses are not particularly good at doing.”

The credentialing application fee is $485 and credentialing is awarded for three years.

Support for credentialing

Ms Buck says the program, developed by mental health nurses for mental health nurses, has received strong support from within the profession.

“There are nurses who are managers who are promoting credentialing to their staff and encouraging their staff to obtain their credential so that they can demonstrate their commitment to the profession and their professional development in the interest of getting promotions and developing their careers,” she says.

The federal government has utilised the credential recognition as an identifier of mental health nurses for several federal government programs.

Now the Queensland Department of Health has come on board, as the first state taking the initiative to provide funding and support to credential 325 of its mental health nurses employed by Hospital and Health Services.

Under the pioneering move, Queensland Health nurses will be able to apply for

credentialing free of charge until June 30, 2014.

The ACMHN hopes other states and territories will also consider supporting the credentialing of their mental health nurses.

“Queensland Department of Health has a policy that came into being in 2013 that sets an aspirational goal that all mental health nurses are to be credentialed through our credentialing program,” she says.

“Their goal out of this is to promote credentialing and get the nurses credentialed because they understand it’s an important element contributing to quality mental health nursing services for consumers and their families.”

Not only is credentialing important for mental health nurses, it’s also bolstering the profession.

“I think this project is going to be tremendously important for the profession,” Ms Buck says.

“It was developed by mental health nurses, by the profession, and it’s run by the profession and that’s because mental health nurses are committed to their professional identity.”

Not only is credentialing important for mental health nurses, it’s also bolstering the profession.

“I think this project is going to be tremendously important for the profession,” Ms Buck says.

“It was developed by mental health nurses, by the profession, and it’s run by the profession and that’s because mental health nurses are committed to their professional identity.”

Psychologists, not coordinator teachers, should be employed to deliver mental health services in schools across South Australia, according to the Australian Psychological Society.

The APS, which represents more than 21,000 psychologists across Australia, has called on the state government to provide a level of school psychologists on par with other states.

With one school psychologist for every 3000 students in some states and territories, South Australia is considered the worst performer with one psychologist for every 4000 students.

The call comes after the state government announced $3.8 million to ensure every student in the state has access to school counselling, extending the funding for school counsellors in primary and secondary schools.

APS spokesman David Stokes welcomed the funding boost but said appropriately trained and qualified psychologists should provide the services.

“Ideally, all students should have access to appropriate services, as we know that the incidence of mental health difficulties does not discriminate according to location nor relative affluence,” he said.

“However, the APS understands that, at present, there is no requirement on the level of training for this role other than a teaching qualification.

“The increasing prevalence and complexity of child and adolescent mental health issues is well recognised.

“School psychologists based in schools are best placed to assist with these issues, and to provide appropriate evidence-based interventions to support students, school staff and families.”

APS says schools need more psychologists

The Australian College of Mental Health Nurses introduced its Credential for Practice Program 10 years ago. The program recognises the qualifications, skills and experience of about 1400 mental health nurses and is also working to strengthen the profession, writes Karen Keast.

Since 2004, the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses’ (ACMHN) Credential for Practice Program (CPP) has been setting a new benchmark in mental health nursing.

The College developed the program in response to changes to nursing education and regulating policy in Australia in the 1990s.

As many entry psychiatric/mental health nursing courses were being phased out, the ACMHN stepped up its self-governance role, developing practice standards and the credentialing program.

Anne Buck, ACMHN policy and stakeholder engagement manager, says the program stands as the only recognition system in Australia that identifies mental health nurses.

“It is basically used to identify to the employers, to the consumers and to colleagues who is a mental health nurse,” she says.

“Without that, there isn’t a mechanism by which you can distinguish between a nurse who has undertaken additional qualifications in mental health nursing and a nurse who has no additional qualifications in the area of mental health nursing.

“What the credential is actually saying is this person has not only undertaken specialist qualifications but they’re maintaining their professional development and they’re maintaining their practice in the area of mental health nursing.”

What is credentialing?

A credentialed mental health nurse is a specialist nurse who has demonstrated the CPP criteria, as established by the ACMHN, in the areas of education, practice experience, professional development and professional integrity.

To become credentialed through the CPP, mental health nurses must meet a range of criteria, such as being a registered nurse in Australia, holding a specialist/post graduate mental health nursing qualification and must have demonstrated duration of practice - 12 months’ experience since completion of their specialist/post graduate mental health nursing qualification or three years’ experience as a registered nurse working in a mental health context.

They must also be able to show recency of practice in mental health, continuing professional development, be supported by two professional referees and make a declaration agreeing to uphold the standards of the profession.

Ms Buck says credentialing is a verification process.

“The application form guides the nurse through the information they need to provide,” she says.

“They provide us with the information and the evidence to demonstrate that they’ve got a qualification, that they’ve been registered as a nurse, and that they have got the experience and recent practice that our criteria require.

“There is a CPD log that needs to be provided as part of the application and a couple of references.”

Applications are first checked administratively before credentialed mental health nurses, who have undertaken a training program, assess

Mental health nurse credentialing the applications through the College’s peer-review process.

From the time the application is submitted, it takes around six weeks to be processed and reviewed and for the nurse to be informed of the outcome of their credentialing application.

Ms Buck says the credentialing program is a great investment in nurses’ professional development.

“They initially find it to be daunting at first glance…because it requires nurses to reflect on themselves and put some time towards themselves, which as a profession nurses are not particularly good at doing.”

The credentialing application fee is $485 and credentialing is awarded for three years.

Support for credentialing

Ms Buck says the program, developed by mental health nurses for mental health nurses, has received strong support from within the profession.

“There are nurses who are managers who are promoting credentialing to their staff and encouraging their staff to obtain their credential so that they can demonstrate their commitment to the profession and their professional development in the interest of getting promotions and developing their careers,” she says.

The federal government has utilised the credential recognition as an identifier of mental health nurses for several federal government programs.

Now the Queensland Department of Health has come on board, as the first state taking the initiative to provide funding and support to credential 325 of its mental health nurses employed by Hospital and Health Services.

Under the pioneering move, Queensland Health nurses will be able to apply for

credentialing free of charge until June 30, 2014.

The ACMHN hopes other states and territories will also consider supporting the credentialing of their mental health nurses.

“Queensland Department of Health has a policy that came into being in 2013 that sets an aspirational goal that all mental health nurses are to be credentialed through our credentialing program,” she says.

“Their goal out of this is to promote credentialing and get the nurses credentialed because they understand it’s an important element contributing to quality mental health nursing services for consumers and their families.”

Not only is credentialing important for mental health nurses, it’s also bolstering the profession.

Cancer is now the world’s biggest killer - and the cancer burden is expected to rise 75 per cent in the next two decades, according to a new global scientific report.

The World Cancer Report 2014, released from the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), shows cancer is responsible for an estimated 8.2 million deaths annually and is expected to increase to 13 million deaths a year.

In 2012, there were an estimated 14 million new cases and that figure is predicted to rise to exceed 20 million new cases annually in 2025.

Cancer Nurses Society of Australia president Sandy McKiernan, who is also the Cancer Council WA cancer information and support services director, said the workforce will need more nurses and other health professionals.

“Into the future we need to expand our workforce models and engage nurses outside of cancer specialties, those working in non-specialised cancer roles, to be more prepared for caring for someone with cancer and other chronic diseases,” she said.

“Nurses play a crucial role in providing care, support, information and guidance around treatment and its effects to those diagnosed with cancer and their families.

“Nurses and allied health play an integral part and active role in increasing awareness and debunking the myths about cancer, and provide information about reducing risk, particularly in areas such as lifestyle modification to the families of people diagnosed with cancer.”

Cancer Council Australia spokesperson Terry Slevin said the report shows Australia has one of the world’s highest cancer incidence rates, third in the world behind Denmark and France.

Four mental health nurses will spend three days riding 237 kilometres next month in a bid to raise funds and awareness about schizophrenia.

The four nurses will join a team of 10 staff and supporters from New South Wales’ unique ROAM Communities Institute, a not-for-profit mental health nursing charity in South West Sydney, for its inaugural schizophrenia awareness ride.

The team of recreational cyclists will ride from Canberra’s National Primary Mental Health Care Conference to Camden from March 21-23, with the event culminating in a dinner and reception, featuring speakers, mental health experts Dr John Mendoza and Associate Professor Bill Goodin.

Matthew James, ROAM Communities general manager and a nurse practitioner candidate in psychiatry, said schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects about 200,000 people, or one per cent of Australians.

“Incredibly, people living with schizophrenia have a life expectancy 25 years lower than the general population, and four out of every five Aussie adults with schizophrenia are unemployed and have more than three times the chance of becoming homeless on comparison to the general population,” he said.

“Through our ride, we want to make it clear that there are local services available to help anyone suffering the effects of schizophrenia and raise some money that can go towards ensuring these services continue to be made available long into the future.”

Mr James, a nurse of 15 years who has specialised in mental health for the past nine years and is one of the founders of the ROAM Communities Institute, said the ride also hopes

to highlight the link between physical and mental health.

“What’s really killing people with mental illness, it’s not schizophrenia, it’s not depression…it’s heart attacks, it’s strokes, it’s diabetes,” he  said.

Mr James said the ride aims to raise some of the $100,000 fundraising needed this year to keep the service operating.

ROAM Communities provides more than 2000 sessions of mobile and centre-based psychiatry annually to people with schizophrenia and other severe mental health illnesses.

The mental health recovery institute is seeking business sponsors and donations for its ride. For more information visit http://www.roamcommunities.org.au

The four nurses will join a team of 10 staff and supporters from New South Wales’ unique ROAM Communities Institute, a not-for-profit mental health nursing charity in South West Sydney, for its inaugural schizophrenia awareness ride.

The team of recreational cyclists will ride from Canberra’s National Primary Mental Health Care Conference to Camden from March 21-23, with the event culminating in a dinner and reception, featuring speakers, mental health experts Dr John Mendoza and Associate Professor Bill Goodin.

Matthew James, ROAM Communities general manager and a nurse practitioner candidate in psychiatry, said schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects about 200,000 people, or one per cent of Australians.

“Incredibly, people living with schizophrenia have a life expectancy 25 years lower than the general population, and four out of every five Aussie adults with schizophrenia are unemployed and have more than three times the chance of becoming homeless on comparison to the general population,” he said.

“Through our ride, we want to make it clear that there are local services available to help anyone suffering the effects of schizophrenia and raise some money that can go towards ensuring these services continue to be made available long into the future.”

Mr James, a nurse of 15 years who has specialised in mental health for the past nine years and is one of the founders of the ROAM Communities Institute, said the ride also hopes

to highlight the link between physical and mental health.

“What’s really killing people with mental illness, it’s not schizophrenia, it’s not depression…it’s heart attacks, it’s strokes, it’s diabetes,” he  said.

Mr James said the ride aims to raise some of the $100,000 fundraising needed this year to keep the service operating.

ROAM Communities provides more than 2000 sessions of mobile and centre-based psychiatry annually to people with schizophrenia and other severe mental health illnesses.

The mental health recovery institute is seeking business sponsors and donations for its ride. For more information visit http://www.roamcommunities.org.au

Australia is a multicultural society and when exploring the breadth of the definition of culture, remote communities demonstrate great diversity, thus impacting on the provision of health services that meet the needs of communities and individuals

Abstracts will provide an opportunity for authors to communicate their recent experiences when dealing with the diversity and differences within communities, the successes and the challenges of providing accessible health services.

In creating and sustaining diversity within communities, the authors will need to show how the program/service impacted on the service provider(s), the services delivered, individuals, or community groups and the wins and the barriers to providing sustainable health outcomes.

Drawing on the conference title: Creating and Sustaining Diversity within Communities, abstracts are being sought that address this very broad perspective and provide opportunities for you to demonstrate the multi-factorial dimensions of remote health practice from the broad perspective of health and community.

NAHRLS LOCUM SERVICE

Prioritising Placements to Reach the Greatest Area of Need

Above: Mark Leddy, Practice Manager for Camperdown Clinic in Victoria. Using the NAHRLS Locum Service for CPD leave ensures that staff members maintain their accreditation and Camperdown Clinic are adequately staffed during their absence.

In December 2013, NAHRLS introduced the Prioritisation Checklist in response to the overwhelming locum support requests received and the fixed number of placements remaining this financial year.

General Manager, Mark Ellis, said “The number of placements NAHRLS has been able to �ll this �nancial year has been a great result for the programme and allows the continued provision of health care to Australian’s in rural and remote areas when health professionals need to leave their area of practice. This increase in usage, however, requires us to prioritise all future

requests for back�ll to ensure that remaining placement numbers are distributed effectively to reach the greatest area of need.”

The prioritisation checklist incorporates the eligibility criteria available on the NAHRLS website.

CPD activities and CPD activities combined with other professional development take priority over annual and other leave. Locum support is provided to cover periods of leave of up to 14 days and Locum support is not be provided for vacant positions under any circumstances.

Canberra’s health needs have allegedly been compromised, with the ACT Government coming under criticism for losing its grip on planning for the future.

The criticism comes after it was discovered the Canberra Hospital had been forced to use ‘over capacity beds’ or ‘surge beds’ on a regular basis.

It is understood the hospital opened eight ‘surge beds’ spread out across the general wards over a year ago, to provide overflow accommodation in particularly busy periods, however as patient numbers increased, the use of surge beds became constant.

As a result a new system of over capacity beds was introduced in 2013, where up to 11 beds normally used for day procedures would be available in the evening, a peak period for emergency departments. However the hospital has been running on average at 90 per cent occupancy, which means during the peaks, the figure is much higher.

ACT Opposition Leader Jeremy Hanson reportedly commented that the hospital’s capacity levels were potentially dangerous, with no beds available on some nights and 98 or 99 per cent of the beds full on a regular basis. He noted that the Australian Medical Association guidelines advise a figure over 85 per cent is potentially dangerous.

Lax planning the cause of ACT bed shortage?

The London Ambulance Service wants to recruit Australian and New Zealand paramedics in a bid to bridge its paramedic shortage.

The service has about 250 vacancies for registered paramedics and has been granted permission to sponsor 100 work visas a year for non-European paramedics.

The busiest emergency ambulance service in the United Kingdom has its sights set on recruiting paramedics in Australia and New Zealand, where the skills and training are similar to those of paramedics in the UK.

Paramedics recruited from Australia and New Zealand will be required to complete a short conversion course enabling them to treat patients in the UK.

As part of its plan to boost paramedic numbers, the service is also working with universities, sponsoring student paramedics and encouraging ex-military personnel to consider careers in the ambulance service.

“Year on year increases in demand and a requirement to have more registered health care professionals responding to patients means we are in need of a greater number of paramedics,” the service’s paramedic education and development director Mark Whitbread said in a statement.

“The same applies for other ambulance trusts across the UK but there is only a finite number of registered British paramedics.”

Mr Whitbread said it takes up to three years for those entering the profession to qualify as a paramedic, prompting the service to look overseas.

“While we are doing all we can to encourage people to consider paramedic science as a career, we are looking overseas to help bridge the gap.”

The ambulance service has more than 4,500 employees with 3,300 frontline staff working

across 70 ambulance stations spanning 620 square miles, from Heathrow in the west to Upminster in the east, and from Enfield in the north to Purley in the south.

The service receives around 4,000 calls a day, and almost a quarter of those are immediately life-threatening.

“You’ll quickly see why we place so much emphasis on finding the right people to carry out the vital work that we do,” the service’s website states.

“Working in London will give you a level of experience which is second to none with the opportunity to really develop your practice as a paramedic.”

In the past four years, the ambulance service has doubled its cardiac arrest survival rate.

“We strive to provide our patients with the level of care that distinguishes us as a great service provider,” it states.

“In the future, we envisage that we will be taking fewer patients to hospital by using alternative pathways, treating more patients in their home and giving more advice to callers over the phone.”

As a national review of mental health services gets underway, the Australasian Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health has called for a more consistent approach to mental health policy.

The centre’s Dr Jennifer Bowers reportedly said challenges specific to rural life such as floods, fires or droughts continued to bring renewed attention to the difficulties of delivering good mental health services outside the cities. However attention often evaporated too soon after the event, she said.

“It’s really after that event that people need to take stock, and what happens is they throw a lot of money at it at the time, but in between times there are no additional resources or ways of actually getting in to those people to get them to prepare and help themselves in the meantime.”

Mental health review welcomed by rural health advocates
