The family of a recovering car crash victim has extended an olive branch to the two Victorian paramedics who pronounced the driver as deceased.

Ambulance Employees Association Victoria general secretary Steve McGhie said the family had been overwhelmingly supportive of the paramedics at the centre of the controversy.

“They have just been incredible,” Mr McGhie said.

“Clearly they are worried about their son...but they have been incredibly supportive of the paramedics involved in the car crash.

“It appears that he will recover and we are all thinking of him and his family. The paramedics wish him well and at some point in time there’s been an offer made for them to visit him.

“I am sure they will take up that offer at some point…at the right time when he’s right and when the paramedics are right to do it, they will probably take up that offer.”

Mr McGhie said the experienced MICA ambulance officers at the centre of the April 1 incident will undergo an educational refresher package.

As a result of the accident, he said new procedures will be introduced requiring paramedics to remain on the scene of an accident until the patient is removed, the appropriate clinical assessment has been carried out and their death has been confirmed.

But an Ambulance Victoria spokesman said no new procedures would be put in place and that current guidelines already required paramedics to remain on scene to ascertain whether a patient is deceased.

The Hawthorn driver suffered life-threatening injuries when his sports car struck another vehicle and flipped onto a wire barrier, landing on its roof, on the Western Highway near Bacchus Marsh.

The paramedics declared the man deceased and left the accident but were called back to the scene when an SES volunteer, who was removing the 30-year-old from the vehicle, discovered the driver was still alive.

In its clinical review of the car crash, Ambulance Victoria has stated that the strict criteria paramedics must follow, in order to declare the death of a patient, was not followed.

“The paramedics involved in the case have acknowledged their error, have been cooperative and are understandably upset by their actions,” Ambulance Victoria CEO Greg Sassella said.

“Ambulance Victoria will continue to support the paramedics involved who have accepted that they made a mistake and would have done things differently.”

But Mr McGhie said the patient, at the time he was assessed, had no obvious life signs and paramedics were unable to access him to use a heart monitor.

Allied health professionals and nurses are being urged to familiarise themselves with an emerging chronic health disorder.

Australasian Lymphology Association president Penelope Sanderson said lymphoedema, a progressive disorder of the lymphatic system that causes severe and painful swelling, is often going undiagnosed for years, leaving patients frustrated, distressed and helpless.

The disorder, which affects about 66 per cent of prostate cancer survivors and one in five survivors of other cancers, including breast, gynaecological and melanoma, is expected to increase due to higher cancer survival rates.

Ms Sanderson said the disorder has early and sometimes intermittent warning signs, ranging from transient swelling of a limb or other region of the body, infection due to lymph stasis, and feelings of aching, heaviness and stiffness in the affected body part along with limited movement.

And she said if lymphoedema was suspected, the patient should be referred to an ALA accredited lymphoedema practitioner.

The ALA has more than 350 members, mostly consisting of allied health professionals including physiotherapists, occupational therapists and nurses.

“Lymphoedema is well known amongst some allied health professionals including those who work in the areas of cancer, wound management, vascular surgery and chronic health management,” Ms Sanderson said.

“Patients often find it very difficult to access the appropriate treatment for lymphoedema

so we know there is still a lot of education to provide to medical and allied health professionals.”

Lymphoedema, which occurs when the lymphatic vessels or nodes have been damaged or were not formed properly at birth, affects people of all ages and there are two forms – primary and secondary lymphoedema.

About one person in every 6000 will develop primary lymphoedema, caused by the abnormal development of the lymphatic system.

Secondary lymphoedema is the most common form, arising from damage to the lymphatic system and can develop as a result of cancer treatments, months or even years later.

Ms Sanderson said while there was no cure for the disorder, early diagnosis and treatment can reduce its progression, minimise its impact and limit complications.

Ms Sanderson said she recently treated a 25-year-old woman who had suffered from swelling in her foot and ankle since she was eight, causing ongoing problems including a serious infection when she travelled overseas.

“She now wears a compression garment and ensures she looks after her skin and does prescribed lymphoedema exercises,” she said.

A public register of lymphoedema practitioners in Australia and New Zealand is available at www.nlpr.asn.au

Emerging disorder alert for allied health professionals by Karen Keast

Australia’s peak nutrition body has called for fruit juice to be removed from the serves of fruit in the nation’s dietary guidelines.

The Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) also wants a sixth food group to be introduced for oils and spreads.

The organisation, which represents 4800 dietitians across the nation, recommended the changes in its submission to the Australian Dietary Guidelines and the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating (AGTHE), which are being reviewed and updated for the first time since 2003.

In its submission, the DAA has called for fruit juice as a suggested serve of fruit to be removed from the guidelines due to its “potential adverse impact on body weight with overconsumption”.

It also recommended oils and spreads, which contribute to vitamin D levels and a balance of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids, be included as an extra food group in the AGTHE.

DAA CEO Claire Hewat said introducing a new food group was an important change.

“Science tells us it’s not about avoiding fats altogether but encouraging ‘quality’ fats in a healthy diet,” she said.

“We also recommend that people who are confused about the type and amount of fat they should eat see an Accredited Practising Dietitian for advice tailored to their needs.”

While the guidelines confirm recent food and nutritional information dished out to Australians has been on the right track, the DAA said there was now more evidence around the health benefits of breastfeeding and of eating different types and colours of

fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, and milk, yoghurt and cheese.

The draft guidelines also focus more on the importance of energy intake, and being mindful of portion size and energy-density food.

They also now apply to babies, aged from six months, instead of beginning with toddlers aged two years.

Ms Hewat said the updated guidelines, which are generally for healthy Australians and are not intended for the ill or frail, will help dietitians educate people and groups about what to eat.

“Having new guidelines, which are based on a substantial review of the latest science, provides reassurance to dietitians in the messages they’re giving the public,” she said.

“The ‘Evidence Report’ for the dietary guidelines is a really thorough resource, which dietitians can use to quickly determine the answer to hundreds of nutrition-related questions.”

The National Health and Medical Research Council released the draft of the new guidelines late last year for public comment, with the final version expected to be released later this year.

The Australian Nursing Federation has supported moves to consider subsidised nannies as a child care option for nurses working shifts.

ANF federal secretary Lee Thomas said nurses were frustrated at the lack of round-the-clock child care options.

“There should be mechanisms in place to meet the costs of child care for shift working parents such as nurses,” Ms Thomas said.

“Nurses continue to express frustration at the lack of long hours child care available.

“While there are some longer hour child care facilities available they are not commonplace.”

Ms Thomas’ comments came after Federal Opposition leader Tony Abbott stated he would request the Productivity Commission cost an

extension of the child-care rebate to cover private nanny care.

The ANF’s policy on child care states child care should be available to meet the specific needs of working parents, including occasional and vacation care, before and after school care, 24 hour seven days per week services to meet the needs of shift workers, and provision for women to continue breast feeding.

The policy also states: “All new health and aged care facilities and those being developed, whether public or private, should consider incorporating work-based child care facilities in their plans”.

Ms Thomas said Mr Abbott’s referral of the issue to the Productivity Commission was “one mechanism to deal with the issue”.

Clive Bulleid usually spends his days working for Queensland Health Rockhampton as an MRI assistant.

But for the past three months, Clive has been working as a section signaller, providing communications support to the Tongan Defence Service in the Solomon Islands.

Six years ago, at the age of 54, Clive decided to expand his horizons and become a Reservist with the Australian Defence Force, enlisting as a Sapper with the 35 Field Squadron in Rockhampton.

Now aged 60, Clive is living his dream as part of Rotation 26 of the Combined Task Force on Operation ANODE, supporting the Regional Assistance Mission Solomon Islands (RAMSI).

Clive said it has been a privilege to work with the Tongans.

“It’s been an amazing experience to not only deploy on operations but also to work with the Tongan Defence Service – they are a fantastic bunch of guys,” he said.

Since 2003, the Australian-led RAMSI has worked with the Solomon Islands Government to help maintain security, law and justice, along with economic governance and improving the machinery of government.

Queensland Health chief health officer Dr Jeanette Young recently joined Clive, and QH colleague Private Michelle Neil, who works in the finance department and was also deployed to the Solomon Islands, working in the Quartermaster Store.

Dr Young visited the Solomon Islands as part of Exercise Boss Lift, a Defence program designed to inform and promote to employers and the broader community the training, skills and capabilities that Defence Reservists bring

to the civilian workplace while giving employers an insight into the life of a soldier.

“It’s been a wonderful opportunity to come over to Solomon Islands and see the incredible work

the Reservists are doing here and the skills and training they are receiving,” Dr Young said.

With a great grandmother and grandmother who were nurses, a mother who works as a nurse and a grandfather who was a paramedic, Nalani Cooper was destined to help others.

“I have always been interested in the health care field. It’s always been one of my passions to help people,” she said.

The University of Queensland Bachelor of Nursing and Bachelor of Midwifery student has already been lending a helping hand where it’s needed most – in Cambodia.

Nalani, 21, was one of a group of 13 students and two clinical staff who ventured to Cambodia in January to spend four weeks rotating between the country’s Military Handicap Development Centre, at the foot of Phnom Bok Mountain, and a clinic and self-help community centre near Siem Reap in the country’s north-west.

There, the students treated returned soldiers, their wives and children as well as local villagers for health issues ranging from chronic pain and infections associated with older wounds, such as amputations and landmine injuries, to stomach upsets, fevers and tropical illnesses.

The group also provided health education and promotion to local adults and children.

This is the third year the School of Nursing and Midwifery has offered its international community health placement program to second and third year nursing and midwifery students.

School of Nursing and Midwifery clinical lecturer Peta Crompton said the students raised more than $9000 before the trip to purchase medication and provide more than 300 kits to families, each containing blankets, mats, mosquito nets, buckets for water storage, water pumps and kitchen utensils.

The funds also went towards school text books, monitors to assess fetal heart sounds and hygiene kits.

Nalani said the experience had broadened her perspective, and she hoped to be selected to return to the country as part of next year’s program.

“It was really interesting to see the different ways that nurses practice and how they deliver care with limited resources, the way that they did things and the reasons that they did things,” she said.

“I think the experience will help me become a better nurse.”

Flight Nurse Air Ambulance Base Sydney Domestic Airport, Mascot Permanent Full Time

My name is Mark and every day I am able to bring my sense of adventure to work to make a

difference to the lives of people in rural and remote NSW locations. Every day is different so there is

definitely no chance to get bored. My job as a Flight Nurse is clinically challenging and stimulating,

utilizing all of my extensive nursing experience as I move from midwife one minute to palliative care

nurse the next. You gain unsurpassed autonomy and can make a real difference in people’s lives,

never knowing who you are going to meet and care for next. There are some interesting and resilient

characters around and that is just the rural and remote paramedic staff. The aircraft is an extension of an emergency department, hospital ward, intensive care or any

speciality unit. A diverse range of broad based medical categories and diagnostic groups are

transferred ranging from cardiac, high risk obstetrics, surgical, neonatal, trauma to aged care and

palliative patients. We attend to over 5,000 cases a year which is why the Ambulance Service has

access to state of the art technology and equipment, and strongly supports an environment that

encourages Continuing Professional Development and research projects.

Come and join our dedicated and experienced team of flight nurses and help us to deliver excellence

in care for rural and regional communities. You will need to be a Registered Nurse with an additional

qualification as a Registered Midwife along with qualifications and/or extensive experience in Aviation

Nursing or adult critical care fields limited to Emergency, Cardiac or Cardiothoracic or Intensive Care

Nursing. For more detailed information pick up the phone or email our Senior Flight Nurse, Margaret

The Australian Nursing Federation has echoed concerns that Australia is in the grip of a dementia epidemic.

ANF federal secretary Lee Thomas said Australia urgently needs an extra 20,000 nurses in aged care, coupled with an injection of funding for the earlier detection of dementia and training for all staff in aged care facilities, as a minimum qualification.

“The ANF shares the concerns about Australia’s dementia epidemic,” she said.

“Nursing homes will be flooded with baby boomers in the next 20 years, many of them suffering dementia.

“The ANF continues to call on the Federal Government to make Budget 2012 the aged care budget, by providing additional funding to the industry to ensure there are enough nurses, assistants in nursing and carers to meet the challenges of Australia’s ageing population.”

Alzheimer’s Australia’s damning report of the dementia care system, titled Consumer Engagement in the Aged Care Reform Process, has revealed consumers have no clear pathway on how to access services while any support is often inflexible and unable to cope to meet the demands of people with dementia and their carers.

An estimated 280,000 people have dementia in Australia, and that number is expected to double by 2030 and reach almost one million by 2050.

Alzheimer’s Australia is calling on the government to prioritise dementia in its reform of the aged care system.

The consumer advocacy and support group is calling for $500 million in funding in the upcoming Federal Budget to promote awareness of dementia, timely diagnosis, good care and support, dementia risk reduction and investment in research.

Dementia epidemic hits Australiaby Karen Keast

Nursing homes will be flooded with baby boomers in the next 20 years, many of them suffering dementia.

A special service is helping pet-loving patients get the care they need in hospital.

Pets of Older Persons, affectionately known as POOPS, is helping to care for the pets of socially isolated older people.

POOPS was first established in New South Wales in 2003 when the aged care assessment team at St Joseph’s Hospital Auburn found older people were reluctant to leave their pets to go to hospital.

The RSPCA now runs the program, providing assistance with veterinary care and emergency boarding throughout the state.

Western Australia has now followed suit, with a group of 80 volunteers providing a free service ranging from feeding pets to walking

them, and driving pets to vet appointments or kennels.

POOPS WA president Tangea Tansley, who has always owned dogs and now has two rescue dogs, was inspired to introduce the charity to Perth in a bid to assist both the elderly and their animals.

Dr Tansley, who has a PhD in comparative literature and is now a recently published author, said pets often provide a vital relationship for older people.

“Pets occupy more of a person’s mind than one would think,” she said.

“A load can be taken off a patient’s mind with just one call to a POOPS area coordinator.

The appointment of a new CEO looks likely herald a significant period for Aged & Community Services Australia, with changes likely. Nina Hendy speaks to Adjunct Professor John Kelly AM about the main issues facing aged care nurses and how he intends to advocate for change.

Professor John Kelly hadn’t even officially started in his new role with Aged & Community Services Australia (ACSA) when he agreed to be interviewed about his appointment to the role of chief executive officer.

This should be taken as a sure sign that nothing can rattle this man, who has spent 35 years working in a range of senior roles in the health and aged care sector.

Aged and Community Services Australia national president Rob Hankins described Professor Kelly as a dynamic person to lead Australia’s peak body of over 1,100 faith-

based charitable and community-based providers.

“His strong leadership skills, extensive clinical, management and consulting background is the health and aged care sectors, government experience at a national level, advocacy and stakeholder representation in national professional associations, faith-based and secular not-for-profit entities as well as for profit community and aged care service providers makes this an exceptional appointment at a vital time in the aged care sector.

Professor Kelly brings strong credentials to the role. He has had continuous experience as a director of not-for-profit, remunerated health and aged care related boards as well as government boards and statutory committees since 1994.

He also operates the law program in the Masters of Health Administration at the University of Technology, Sydney, managed a specialist boutique national health and aged care legal and consulting practice, has been a partner in national law firms specialising in the health and aged care sector, was the recipient of the University of Technology Sydney’s prestigious 2010 Alumni Award for Excellence. And in 2009, he was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia.

In 2010 Professor Kelly held the position of Commonwealth Aged Care Commissioner, appointed by the Federal Government and was previously director and chairman of UnitingCare Ageing (NSW/ACT)

Professor Kelly says he is extremely excited to be taking on the CEO role. He lives in Canberra and says the new position will primarily be an advocacy and policy development role that will require regular

discussions with government, which is certainly a key strength.

At the top of his list of key priorities will be continuing to carry the flag for aged care reform, which is a mammoth task that he predicts will take up the rest of the year.

“Aged care reform is a very slow burning wick. Governments on both sides have had a lot of reports but so far there’s only been tinkering in terms of reforms. However, this needs to be addressed right away ahead of the May budget. Everyone is interested in this issue.”

Professor Kelly also named the set of changes to be bought about by the establishment of the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profit Commission and the current Treasury discussions on non-profit reforms as being key issues at the top of his agenda. He describes himself as a proactive person who takes a strategic approach.

“I don’t underestimate the work ahead of me. Nurses and carers in the community aged care sector are facing a number of issues.”

Aside from these issues, the ageing population of health care workers, the shortage of health care workers and the ongoing pay disparities facing the sector are a further three key issues concerning the nursing workforce.

“The current average age of the nursing workforce is staff aged in their late 40s, which proves we can’t just keep not investing in our workforce. I’m already involved in this process as part of the National Aged Care Alliance, and a key agenda item is the health care workforce itself.”

Professor Kelly is excited to be taking on the role. “I’m chuffed to be involved and am extremely passionate about this sector and am pleased to be working with really good people to implement new platforms. That doesn’t mean it won’t be hard work.”

Professor Kelly began in his role on Monday 10 April. He will be stepping down from his current positions with his law firm and with UnitingCare Ageing NSW/ACT, and one of his first tasks will be moving the ACSA national office to Canberra from its current Melbourne location.
