2019 Conference workshop information

Invisible, Not Inconsequential: Fetal Alcohol Harm Across Scotland – Jonathan Sher

Although Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is the largest, preventable cause of lifelong neurodevelopmental problems, learning disabilities and behavioural difficulties, FASD largely remains a societal ‘blind spot’. This session will focus on what’s true and what’s new in terms of preventing, identifying and managing FASD.

The NMC's future nurse and midwife – what you need to know – NES

Jane Cantrell and Kathy Duffy from NHS Education for Scotland set out the changes in the new NMC standards for undergraduate education and what that means for all registered staff who will be supervisors and assessors within the practice learning environment.

Universal credit: what’s new and what is the impact on the work of community nurses?- Hilda Campbell and Mark Willis

Back by popular demand, hear from the experts – a chance to truly understand the new universal credit system and its impact on individuals, families and communities in Scotland.

Shaping the future one conversation at a time – Ross Grieve – BOTH SESSIONS ARE NOW FULL

Ross Grieve (Thistle Foundation) will be joining us to take you through the principles and practice skills of Care and Support Planning.  The workshop will help you to focus more on what matters to people (patients and colleagues), support more effective shared decision making and improve people’s ability to self -manage.

Reshaping communities CHESS™ (Community Health Engagement Survey Solutions) – Christine Hancock and Roddy MacDonald

Christine Hancock and colleagues from C3 share their community engagement app (CHESS), which enables you to explore your neighbourhood looking at health and wellbeing e.g. food options, prominence of tobacco and alcohol, opportunities for physical activity indoors and outdoors, the condition of streets and public areas.

Laughter for Health – Jo Bluett – spaces will be limited for this workshop

Happy people are less likely to suffer from stress related illness and low morale. Jo Bluett invites you to join a Laughter Workshop to boost both health and happiness. By improving confidence and reducing inhibitions we allow ourselves to reach out and participate in wider development – see for yourself!

Namaste Care – touching into the experience – Jo Hockley, Lesley Wylie and Lorna Reid – FIRST SESSION IS NOW FULL

Namaste Care is a sensory based program that integrates nursing care with meaningful activities to provide person centred, peaceful and relaxing experiences for patients with advanced dementia. ‘Namaste’ is a Hindu greeting which literally means to honour the spirit within. Jo Hockley, Lesley Wylie and Lorna Reid will share their experiences.

Shaping the future of education – Heather Bain, Caroline Dickson

Dr Heather Bain (RGU) and Dr Caroline Dickson (QMU) will be sharing their vision for the future of postgraduate community nursing education. Drawing on their doctoral studies and extensive experience, they will present a way forward as the opening to a conversation with the session participants.

Safeguarding Against Scamming – Iain MacMillan, Angela Willson-Coutts

Cheating vulnerable adults has become an undesirable growth industry. Community-based nurses can play a crucial role in nipping potential financial abuse in the bud, as well as helping victims recover from the harm done to their health and wellbeing.  Two leaders from the NHS Scotland Counter Fraud Service will focus on what to look out for and what to do when vulnerable adults are the target of scammers.

Are we prescribing (or heading towards) an antibiotic apocalypse? – Jacqui Reilly, Val Ness THIS SESSION IS NOW FULL

Jacqui Reilly and colleagues set out every registered practitioner’s mission to save the world from superbugs. Antimicrobial resistance is the greatest threat to the NHS and one we often forget, whether you are a prescriber or not, stewardship is all our responsibility!
