NSWHealthService:EmployerofChoice

Japanese researchers have unveiled a dynamic new robot aimed at saving nurses the back-breaking task of lifting heavy patients.

Named RIBA 2, the robot, which looks like a Japanese caricature, can lift patients weighing up to 80kg from the floor and into a wheelchair.

The innovative robot, which is expected to sell for as much as $77,000, moves on wheels, responds to voice commands or set programming, and is soft to touch.

But it also requires a person to guide its actions, meaning it is unlikely to put any health care workers out of a job.

Developed by the RIKEN research centre and Tokai Rubber Industries, the robot will soon be trialled in Japanese nursing homes.

Japan, like Australia, is bracing itself for an ageing population, amid estimates it will soon have the highest number of people aged over 75 with the number of people requiring aged care anticipated to reach 5.69 million in 2015.

Centre leader Shijie Guo told media the robot, an improved version of one released two years ago, can crouch and lift thanks to its improved rubber sensors, springs and joints.

“It is made of very soft material, of rubber, so it won’t hurt a person,” Shijie said.

“Normally, to crouch and lift require a huge motor, which would give us a huge robot. But with this robot, we used a spring.”

RIBA 2’s cartoon-style appearance was also designed to decrease patients’ anxiety.

New Robot to Save Nurses Backs

Threats of violence and actual violence against nurses are yet to be stamped out in Australian hospital emergency departments, according to the Australian Nursing Federation.

The July 12 stabbing of a Blacktown Hospital nurse highlighted the dangers nurses face in Australian EDs.

The incident comes as ED nurses in the United States begin pushing for broader protections and for hospitals to report violent incidents.

Research from the U.S.’s Emergency Nurses Association, which represents 40,000 ED nurses nationally, found one in 10 ED nurses surveyed last year had been attacked in the previous week.

ANF federal secretary Lee Thomas said research showed nurses who work in EDs, psychiatric units and in aged care facilities are most prone to violent incidents.

“In EDs, people can be frustrated at having to wait for treatment, they are emotional and angry and can often be affected by alcohol or other substances,” she said.

“Sometimes this boils over and it escalates into violence, with nurses becoming the victims.”

Ms Thomas called for a zero tolerance approach to verbal violence or actual physical violence aimed at nurses in hospital EDs and other health settings.

She said strategies must include not only education but a real reduction in violence “by whatever means are appropriate to the clinical setting”.

Ms Thomas said nurses who suffer verbal or physical violence must also be supported and provided with formal and informal counselling by hospital management.

Blacktown Hospital nurse Edith Castro-Rivera, 48, was stabbed in the arms, back and chest by a 39-year-old male patient while she worked at her computer at about 2am on July 12.

It was the second attack on a nurse at the hospital in 10 months. In October last year a nurse working in the psychiatric emergency centre was also assaulted.

At their recent 66th annual conference, NSW Nurses Association members passed a resolution calling for mandated minimum security staff numbers in all emergency departments and hospitals.

The Australian Nursing Federation is upping

the ante in its plight for a $500 million funding

injection into the embattled aged care sector,

waging a grassroots nurses’ campaign to

demand the Federal Government fix the aged

care crisis.

The ANF is calling on nurses, assistants-in-

nursing and supporters to inundate Prime

Minister Julia Gillard with emails and more

than 150,000 distributed postcards, which

will be sent directly to Prime Minister Julia

Gillard’s Canberra office.

The emails and postcards call for Ms Gillard

to deliver a $500 million funding injection

in the government’s 2012 budget to close

the wages gap between aged care nurses

and nurses in public hospitals, in a bid to

Nurses Demand Government Fix Aged Care Now attract an extra 20,000 nurses to the under-resourced sector.

“We are calling on the government to step in now and act by making the Federal Budget in 2012 the aged care budget,” ANF federal secretary Lee Thomas said.

The call comes in the wake of the August 8 release of the Productivity Commission’s final report into the aged care sector, which the ANF labelled disappointing.

“The PC report recommends the timeframe of three to five years for a new statutory body to examine wages, but this is far too long,” Ms Thomas said.

Ms Thomas said in the past week alone more than 1000 emails have been sent to the PM and she hoped the postcards would demonstrate that aged care nursing staff are demanding urgent action.

She said $500 million would close the wages gap and ensure the right mix of staff and skill for nursing staff along with quality care for aged care residents.

Sydney’s Melissa Maimann is pioneering the way forward as one of Australia’s first eligible midwives under the maternity reforms.

A midwife for 10 years and in private practice for four years, Melissa believes she is the first in the country to negotiate a collaborative agreement with an obstetrician.

“I wanted to become an eligible midwife so that I could provide Medicare-funded care and to gain access in the future to hospital visiting rights,” she said.

Melissa’s Essential Birth Consulting practice provides Medicare-funded private midwifery care to women for births at home and hospital.

Under the reforms, her practice enables women to receive care from the one midwife for their entire pregnancy, birth and new parenting experience while also having the back-up security of obstetrician and immediate past president of the Australian Medical Association, Dr Andrew Pesce.

The first baby born under their joint care took place in March and they have women booked through until January.

Melissa said their collaborative agreement was based on a similar philosophical approach to maternity care and agreed practice guidelines that were safe, evidence-based and woman-centred.

“For the women, there is the reassurance of having private midwifery care with a known and trusted obstetrician available for labour and birth if needed; someone they have met and who knows their wishes for labour and birth care,” she said.

“I am able to work with an obstetrician who I know personally, who is very supportive, readily available at any time, with a shared philosophy and beliefs.

“This makes an enormous difference to women’s care and to safety as it removes all barriers to consultation and referral while promoting a professional relationship.”

Melissa said the maternity reforms were essential.

“Women have been very clear in the 2009 Maternity Services Review that they want choice, and the maternity reforms enable women, regardless of risk factors, to access insured and funded private midwifery and obstetric care.”

Figures from the Australian College of Midwives estimate only 40 midwives have become eligible to provide Medicare rebates to patients.

Melissa, who also provides consulting services to midwives entering private practice, said it was still early days for the maternity reforms.

And she said most midwives were employed at hospitals.

“The decision to move to private practice and pursue eligibility is a huge step, and as midwives are not taught business know-how in their midwifery degree, it is new information that midwives seek out when they enter private practice,” she said.

Melissa wants the issue with the current lack of visiting rights, which makes it impossible for midwives to admit their own clients under their name and to treat and discharge them, resolved.

“I think it’s very important that as midwives, we are able to work in all settings and as a private midwife, this will require visiting rights,” she said.

“State governments are progressing clinical privileging for private midwives but as yet, this is not available.”

An Auckland pharmacist has admitted using the names of dead patients to make false claims worth almost $70,000.

Sandringham Village Pharmacy director Wayne Baker pleaded guilty to 95 charges of defrauding the Auckland District Health Board in the Auckland District Court on August 9.

Baker, 54, defrauded the board by filing the false claims that were either not requested, had expired or were in the names of dead patients between July 2006 and July 2009.

Court documents showed a large part of Baker’s income came from government subsidies for dispensing and supplying drugs.

His fraud plan unravelled when a locum pharmacist tipped off the Ministry of Health’s fraud hotline in February 2009.

A Ministry of Health investigation found Baker was misrepresenting and altering entries for the drug Simvastatin to increase subsidies, had created fictitious repeat dispensings to obtain additional fees, and claimed for prescriptions that were not given to patients.

In some cases, the pharmacy used the names of deceased patients to claim for payments.

It also claimed for dispensing more expensive proprietary medicines though it had only supplied cheaper generic versions.

Part of the offending involved Baker altering computer entries to show a drug with a subsidy six times higher than the generic one prescribed had been claimed.

There were 25 cases where Baker claimed for repeats after patients had died, involving 575 pharmaceutical items.

A Ministry of Health statement said Baker had repaid the Ministry the entire amount of $69,070.59.

He has been remanded on bail and will be sentenced in October.

Anyone concerned about the possible misuse of health and disability funds should call the Fraud Hotline 0800 424 888 or email [email protected].

Auckland Pharmacist Admits False Claims for Dead PatientsResearch shows Australian dietitians are embracing social media for personal use but more needs to be done to encourage them to use it in a professional capacity.

A Dietitians Association of Australia survey last year found 80 percent of the 700 dietitians surveyed use social media for personal reasons, with most accessing social networking sites, at 78 percent, and just four percent using micro-blogging sites like Twitter.

The survey found just 52 percent of respondents use social media in a professional capacity, with most accessing discussion forums.

The three most common reasons for using social media on a professional level were to network with colleagues, at 63 percent, to keep up with technology, at 37.5 percent, and to provide nutritional information to the public, at 24.5 percent.

DAA CEO Claire Hewat said it was important for dietitians to better engage with social media on a professional level.

“Social media is a relatively new area and poses new challenges but also exciting opportunities,” she said.

“While many people are using social media personally, it can be a big step to work in this space professionally.

“It means learning new skills and being sure to maintain professionalism and integrity, so it can take time to feel confident working in this area.

“If dietitians embrace social media, we’ll be more likely to win the race and stake our rightful place as the online ‘go to’ experts in nutrition.”

The DAA is developing a social media resource for members and student members, expected to be launched in September.

“It’s a really practical resource, focussing on tips such as maintaining professionalism and being transparent – with case study examples throughout,” Ms Hewat said.

“We’re also working on an online webcast to support our members who are new to social media and want to do more in this space.”

The Australian Aged Care Commission should consider the need to pay ‘fair and competitive wages’ to nursing and other aged care staff.

That was the main recommendation from the Productivity Commission in its Caring for Older Australians inquiry report, released on August 8, in a bid to improve attraction and retention in the embattled aged care workforce.

The PC report proposed the AACC recommend prices for care services, including the wages of aged care workers, to the Federal Government following independent analysis and for those recommendations to be made public.

The report also recommended the appropriate mix of skills and staffing levels for the delivery of those services.

“There is a role for government in setting prices for care services which enable employers to pay fair and competitive wages…Solutions also lie with aged care providers as they too have a responsibility for ensuring that they provide an attractive workplace,” the report stated.

The Australian Nursing Federation has criticised the recommendation for being too time-costly, with a three to five year turn-around, and has instead urged the Federal Government to inject $500 million from its 2012 budget to close the wages gap.

The Federal Government plans to consult further before rejecting or embracing the PC’s recommendations.

The 40-page chapter dedicated to the sector’s workforce estimated about 980,000 aged care workers would be needed by 2050.

The report found more than one million older Australians now receive aged care services and by 2050 more than 3.5 million Australians are expected to use aged care services each year.

It outlined statistics showing aged care employees involved in direct caring activities represent around 25 percent of all aged care employees in health and community occupations.

There were an estimated 262,000 people working in the aged care sector in late 2007, of these 175,000 provided services in residential aged care facilities and 87,000 provided aged care services in community settings.

Compared to the broader health and community services industry, residential and community aged care employees were more likely to be female, work fewer hours and be older.

The report discussed the workforce shortage, exacerbated by low wages and some workers with insufficient skills, and said there was a need to improve access to education and training and provide more professional development for staff.

It also highlighted the significant potential for the expansion of nurse practitioners in the aged care sector.

What is Médecins Sans Frontières’ approach to women’s health?

Every day, approximately 1000 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth and 99 percent of all those maternal deaths occur in developing countries. The single biggest factor in reducing maternal mortality is providing skilled care at delivery, particularly through emergency obstetric care. This is where we can make the biggest impact and therefore what we focus on. Women continue to become pregnant and deliver babies during times of conflict and natural disasters and we recognise that they need assistance to access appropriate healthcare services and deliver their baby safely.

Médecins Sans Frontières is always looking for competent nurses and midwives willing to live and work within an international team, share their skills and dedicate their time to support the organisation’s medical humanitarian work around the world. Field workers are insured for health, medical repatriation, death and disability for the period of their project. All costs associated with the work are covered, including travel from home to the project and living expenses while away.

The monthly stipend for people without previous relevant experience for the first 12 months is $1400. To find out more about working with Médecins Sans Frontières, visit www.msf.org.au/joinourteam

Kara Blackburn and a Mother with Twins in Darfur, Sudan

Calling all Midwives!The Mater Hospitals in Mackay, Rockhampton and Gladstone, operated by Mercy Health and Aged Care Central Queensland Limited (MH&ACCQL), are seeking Registered Midwives in these rapidly growing areas of Queensland.

Our Mater Hospitals are a great place to work, just look at what some of our satisfied staff have to say:

Julie McDouall and Kym Wooler work at the Mater Rockhampton Hospital in the Women’s unit. They are both student nurses who are currently undertaking a sponsorship program funded by the Hospital to gain post graduate qualifications in midwifery.

Julie: “ The main reason I was interested in the position at Mater Rockhampton was because it provided me with the opportunity to extend my education. The Hospital is a very supportive working environment and all staff are offered many different education opportunities such as conferences and workshops. It is a wonderful place to work as bringing joy 99.9% of the time into families’ lives is a wonderful environment to work in and something you don’t get in other departments.

The level of support within the Women’s Unit is also a benefit of the Hospital. As a student, I am provided with constant supervision from a Registered Midwife.

I think one of the greatest benefits of the Hospital is that women are able to stay here longer than the public system. This allows us to impart better knowledge to them so when they return home they are more prepared and better adjusted. “

Kym: “After having two beautiful children I knew midwifery was the area I wanted to work in. I received excellent care and support with my boys and I wanted to give that to new mothers to help and empower them. I applied for the midwifery scholarship program as it allows me to study in an encouraging environment at work and home, without the added university costs and stress associated with it.

There are many positive aspects about working in the Mater Women’s Unit. Having the variety of a labour ward, antenatal/postnatal ward, special care nursery, outpatients, antenatal classes, and clinics required for clinical components of the course in the one place gives you a chance to experience all the aspects of the unit. Another positive is working with a team of knowledgeable, friendly and supportive staff.

During my shifts, I am placed with staff that are aware of what stage I’m at with clinical skills and care. The Nurse Unit Manager has also been very supportive by recognising my needs as a student and a mother. She is aware of my progress, listens to my concerns and provides me with shift flexibility where possible especially during exam blocks or when the kids are sick. The team of midwives and obstetricians have been very patient and helpful, answered my questions and built my confidence when situations are difficult”.

The Sponsorship programs in Midwifery that Julie and Kym are undertaking are offered at Mater Mackay, Rockhampton and Gladstone.

An exciting position exists for a highly motivated and experienced midwife to join the multidisciplinary team within the Division of Women’s, Children’s and

Kara Blackburn, from Brisbane, joined Médecins Sans Frontières as a nurse/midwife in 2006. Following her first placement in Darfur, Sudan, Kara went on to work in Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea.

You have completed three field placements with Médecins Sans Frontières. What has been the most challenging context and why?

Darfur was the most challenging – I was there during a pretty unstable period and there were many security incidents. Additionally, the obstetric work was pretty horrific at times. We were not able to transfer patients due to the security context, which meant we had to deal with many situations in our small field hospital that would normally be treated in a higher-level facility. So I learnt a lot, my

clinical skills were challenged enormously, and I dealt with obstetric complications that I had never been confronted with before.

Describe what life is like for a midwife in the field with Médecins Sans Frontières.

Midwives play a crucial role in the field team. You are on call overnight and are often called in for deliveries and complications. That can be pretty tiring when you also have to work in the hospital during the day. Your clinical skills really need to be of a high calibre because you won’t necessarily have an obstetrician available and you need to deal with complications that you may never have come across before. The skills I learnt in the field really helped me develop as a competent practitioner for my work back in Australia as well.

60 seconds with a Médecins Sans Frontières midwife

MidwivesGV Health is seeking midwives to work in one of two possible models of care.

The first model is a new, innovative case load midwifery model, which will enable midwives to provide continuity of care from pregnancy through to birth and postnatal. Midwives in this model will have the ability to structure their time to best meet their own needs, and those of the women they are caring for. The role includes an on-call component and flexible relief options.

The second model offers the ability to do rostered work in all areas of maternity care, including antenatal, intrapartum, postnatal and in-home support and level 2 neonatal.

Applications that do not address the selection criteria will not be considered. All new employees require a National Police Records check and a Victorian Working with Children check.

A major new report on midwifery throughout the world has provided critical insights and data for the midwifery industry.

Released in June by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), The State of the World’s Midwifery 2011 provides new data gathered from 58 countries across all regions of the world.

Launched at the Triennial Congress of the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) in Durban, South Africa on 20 June, the report confirmed that the world lacks some 350,000 skilled midwives, 112,000 in the neediest 38 countries surveyed, to fully meet the needs of women around the world. As many as 3.6 million lives can be saved every year if midwifery services are improved in 58 developing countries by 2015, according to the findings.

Of the 38 countries in most dire need of midwives, 22 need to double the workforce by 2015; seven need to triple or quadruple it; and nine (Cameroon, Chad, Ethiopia, Guinea, Haiti, Niger, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Sudan) need to significantly boost midwifery services by a factor of between 6 and 15. The report also confirmed most deaths or disabilities occurred in low-income countries and happened because women, often poor and marginalised, had no access to functioning health facilities or to qualified health professionals, particularly those with midwifery skills.

From Australia’s perspective, Hannah Dahlen, associate professor of midwifery, University of Western Sydney and the national spokesperson for the Australian College of Midwives, said the report, the first of its kind to be published, provided crucial insights into approaches to midwifery across the globe.

“The college is excited to see midwifery recognised in such a major way both in terms of professional recognition and the immense workforce shortages facing the world when it comes to midwifery.”

Echoing the report’s call for urgent action, Dahlen pointed out that out of the 1000 women dying every day in the world, 99 per cent of them were in the developing world.

“This is not something the world should or can accept.”

The report indicated there were opportunities for Australian trained midwives and midwifery educators to assist countries in need, either through working as midwives in those countries or training midwives in those countries, she said.

“We have strong engagement in overseas work, education of international students and support of higher degree students to help build leadership capacity in developing nations. We are also developing twinning arrangements with nearby countries as support.”

“Australians have most commonly gone to work in the UK but also there are many in developing nations with aid work.”

Successful models in Australian midwifery might be of benefit to other countries, she said.

“Continuity of care where women and midwives work in partnership is becoming a higher priority in our education and in maternity care, which is a great thing. Midwives now can apply for Medicare provider numbers so funding midwifery care gives it huge recognition.”

Global midwifery survey – implications for Australiaby Belinda Smart

And while many of the countries covered by the report and most acutely affected by the shortage of midwives were in the developing world, the report also had resonance for the Australian midwifery sector, she said.

“We have a significant workforce shortage in Australia though unfortunately our data is not good enough to say exactly what the shortage is. I am yet to find a maternity unit that has its full midwifery staffing. The last 2002 report said we are 1800 midwives short.”

There were also some ways in which Australia could benefit by emulating models from elsewhere in the world, Dahlen said.

“Australia still falls behind much of the world in its attitude to homebirth and we need to stop ignoring women’s right to this birth choice.”

The report highlighted issues universally affecting midwives everywhere, including

shortages, insufficient remuneration, and “burn out” due to over work and stress, corroborating many of the issues experienced by Australian midwives.

The State of the World’s Midwifery 2011 was coordinated by UNFPA, the United Nations Populations Fund, along with the UK’s University of Southampton, and is the result of collaboration among 30 partners whose collective aim is to strengthen midwifery practices to prevent maternal death and disability, and improve the health of newborns, families, and entire communities.

The report surveyed 58 countries, which together account for just under 60 per cent of all births worldwide, but 91 per cent of all maternal deaths.
