JIRT in Western NSW LHD

In 2011, three JIRT (Joint Investigation Response Team) Senior Health Clinicians were employed within the Western NSW Local Health District, at Bathurst, Dubbo and Bourke. The positions are new and now complete the tri agency response to serious allegations of abuse towards children. The Senior Health Clinicians are partners with Community Services and Police working collaboratively in the JIRT process. Community Services responsibilities within the team are the care and protection of children, Police address the criminality of offences and Health provides for the immediate and ongoing health needs of children and their families. Dubbo and Bathurst Senior Health Clinicians sit within the Community Services Offices, and the Bourke Senior Health Clinician is fully co-located with Community Services and Police.

The Senior Health Clinician’s role is to assist in the investigative process by providing important and relevant health information to ensure children and their non-offending carers are looked after physically and emotionally. This may include providing the partners with relevant health information to assist in the investigative processes (such as if a child has a disability and requires support during an interview for this disability), provide access to and assist in the facilitation of medical examinations for children, provide information and support regarding referrals to support and counselling services, and to advocate on behalf of children and their non offending carers in regards to their current and ongoing health needs. At times you may be requested to provide information under 16A to the Senior Health Clinician about your past or current contact with clients that may come the JIRTs attention, this information may assist the immediate and future care and support of children and their families through the investigative process.

Clinical Handover for Allied Health Professionals

There is a large amount of information available regarding the importance of clinical handover along with the use of

formalised ‘tools of handover’, to ensure client safety and quality control. Much of what has been documented

concerns the practice areas of medicine and nursing, with little published regarding Clinical Handover for Allied

Health Professionals (AHP), especially those working in a rural and remote context.

To date, most strategies to improve handover processes have focused on handover tools such as the ISBAR.

ISBAR is a commonly adopted communication framework in NSW Health to facilitate Safe Clinical Handover

(Introduction; Situation; Background; Assessment and Recommendation). It has been found to improve clinical

handover but it has been suggested that it requires further development in application to the varied Allied Health

contexts.

Substantial work in relation to handover has been completed by the Western Australia Country Health Service

(WACHS) in the Back to the Bush: Allied Health Clinical Handover Project. This project found that, due to the

varying nature of the situations in which clinical handover occurs, it was difficult to prescribe a definitive Allied

Health practice.

In the WACHS review of the content areas most frequently reported as being essential for Allied Health clinical

handover and which were not captured within the iSBAR were:

- clear and extensive contact details for the client

- contact details of the handover clinician

- clear information on the expectations of the receiving AHP such as timing, frequency of therapy, protocols

and equipment requirements

The outcome of the WACHS project was the development of a Clinical Handover tool with specificity to the AHP

context. The C-CEBAR is a suggested adaptation for Allied Health Professionals from the ISBAR tool for

handover. Allied Health Professionals in Western NSW LHD are working towards implementation of this model to

facilitate Allied Health handover in transition to the community.

The C-CEBAR is proposed as the mnemonic to assist AHPs ensure accurate and appropriate content of handover

is delivered.

The Allied Health Educators are keen to further trial and develop a model of clinical handover with particular

emphasis of transition from tertiary hospital to regional and rural areas. Over the next few months it is planned to

have a number of focus groups exploring this issue. If you are interested in sharing your ideas please do not

hesitate to contact the Allied Health Educators (contact details page 4).

EnableNSW: Supporting Children with Disabilities

EnableNSW provides equipment (assistive technology) to children with a permanent or long term disability.

Assistance is provided in the areas of communication, mobility, self care and respiratory support.

EnableNSW Prosthetic Limb Service (PLS) New prosthetic loan pool for children EnableNSW has purchased a variety of terminal devices which attach to upper limb prosthetics for use in recreational activities such as swimming, basketball and playing a musical instrument. The loan pool aims to accommodate the changing needs and interests of children as they grow and as their functional ability develops. This project was prompted by a key recommendation of the Three Rivers Report of the PLS funding model. The equipment will be stored and maintained by the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN).

What prescribers need to know about the loan pool

The loan pool is being managed by the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN)

A full list of devices is available through the SCHN. Contact us For more information about the EnableNSW Prosthetic Limb Service please contact Anna Frazer, State-wide Prosthetic Advisor on 1800 362 253 or via email: enable@hss.health.nsw.gov.au

Paediatric Physiotherapy Reliability Meetings

For many years Paediatric Physiotherapy Reliability sessions have been held aiming to allow therapists to come together and review the use of commonly used assessment tools. These sessions have been free and open to therapists across NSW.

Over the last few years there has been a steady decline in attendance at the meetings. Strategies such as changing to an alternating venue (between CHW and SCH) and encouraging other centres to present sessions have not made any improvement in attendance.

A number of factors such as staff shortages, increasing workloads and time and distance to travel to attend the meetings have been identified as possible barriers to attendance.

Karen Herbert (Sydney Children’s Hospital), Kerry West (Children’s Hospital at Westmead), Carolyn Matthews and Jenny Martin (John Hunter Children’s Hospital) are currently investigating the possibility of running a Reliability Session within the Telehealth format of the Child Health Networks. This would allow Rural and Remote therapists access to the program as well as limit the need for travel time for attendance. In order to plan for a possible Telehealth Reliability session we would like to gauge the level of interest in such a session and find out which assessment tool therapists would like to explore. Please contact Sue Sims, susan.sims@sesiahs.health.nsw.gov.au (GESCHN Allied Health Educator) to register your interest and comment regarding timing and the assessment tools you may be interested in covering.

Date & Topic Outline

23rd - 24th October

Problem-solving in

Paediatric Swallowing &

Feeding

Day 1 & 2 – AUD $700

(AUD $600 early bird)

Nutritional needs and pulmonary health always take top priority in therapeutic

decision-making. This workshop will guide participants through the critical decision-

making and problem-solving processes involved in assessment and management of

feeding disorders in medically complex children and children with sensory issues,

using an evidence-based approach, through lecture, videos, and interactive

discussions. The multifactorial aspects of paediatric feeding disorders, including

physiologic, sensory-motor and neurodevelopmental will be discussed in the context

of health, medical and developmental factors. Participants are encouraged to

submit case studies one month prior to the workshop for discussion during the

course of the 2 days.

25th October

Facilitating Infant

Feeding: NICU and

Beyond

Day 3 - AUD $400

(AUD $300 early bird)

This workshop focuses on feeding issues in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

(NICU) with preterm and term infants. Professionals in this environment are required

to have extensive knowledge about pre-natal development and disorders that can

occur in utero and/or the perinatal period. The interactions of upper airway,

cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, and neurologic systems are extraordinarily

complex. All have direct bearing on anticipation and expectations for advancing oral

feeding. In addition, parent/infant bonding is critical as is adequacy of nutrition and

hydration. Assessment and management decision making will be discussed through

lecture, video examples, and discussion with active involvement by the participants.

26th October

Paediatric

Videofluoroscopic

Swallow Studies (VFSS):

Interpretation, Decision

Making, and Intervention

Day 4 – AUD $400

(AUD $300 early bird)

This workshop focuses on instrumental swallow evaluations with topics to include

rationale for carrying out VFSS, practise identifying anatomic landmarks, interpreting

VFSS findings, and decision-making related to sensorimotor factors in the various

stages of swallowing. Given current concerns about radiation exposure in light of

needs to define swallow physiology, evidence-based best practices will be

described and discussed. Case studies will provide participants with clinically

relevant information with active participation in decision-making. Participants are

encouraged to submit video examples of complex patients one month prior to the

workshop.
