TheAlumni chapter links students from a range of courses involved in the program, including; Speech Pathology,Physiotherapy, Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy and Nursing. In 2008, Go Global established an inter-facultycollaboration, with students from the School of Film, Television and Screen Arts accompanying students toChina to document the student experiences. The Alumni chapter encourages inter-professional awareness andpractical collaboration between disciplines in adopting a holistic approach to capacity building for the host sites,while achieving Curtin graduate attributes.A current Alumni project supports an employee of Anandaniketan (Go Global India) to maintain and deliver theinter-professional intervention recommendations of students. This project promotes the autonomy of staff atAnandaniketan and supports the Go Global mission of capacity building. Furthermore it provides an opportunityfor Curtin students and staff at Anandaniketan to work with each other in the spirit of service learning.Go Global graduates are recognised within the community as resourceful and innovative professionals withremarkable skills in inter-professional practise and analytical thinking and are linking their employers to the GoGlobal program as well as providing professional support and mentorship to students in the program.Go Global Alumni members have gone on to be successfully selected in AusAID teams, been appointedAustralian Youth Ambassadors for Development and returned to a host site as volunteers in a professionalcapacity.Strengthening mother-child relationships in a prison setting- collaboration between speechpathology and psychologyNatalie Ciccone, Amanda Lloyd, Lynn Priddis, Ashleigh Taylor & Georgina StandishCurtin University of TechnologyN.Ciccone@curtin.edu.au, A.Lloyd@curtin.edu.au, L.Priddis@curtin.edu.au,Ashleigh.Taylor@student.curtin.edu.au, georgina.standish@postgrad.curtin.edu.auThis presentation outlines the development of a joint Speech Pathology and Psychology interprofessional clinicbased at Boronia pre- release center, highlighting the process of relationship building between multipleagencies. Boronia is a low security women’s prison focused on promoting rehabilitation and communityreintegration. Up to six women are able to have their children, aged 0-4, live with them at the centre. Extra EdgeCommunity Services is a not for profit organisation that provides support programs to residents at Boronia, suchas the Pine Tree Tots program - aimed at building the mother/child relationship and develop the mother’sparenting skills. Liaison between staff at Extra Edge and Curtin’s School of Psychology identified an opportunityfor students across the two disciplines to support the services offered by Extra Edge. The development of theclinical placement has required close collaboration between disciplines and service providers to develop aclinical placement that meets the needs of the clients as well as the individual disciplines and service providers.Each of these elements has presented unique challenges and opportunities for student learning. Thispresentation will explore the positive experiences and challenges of developing the clinic from a staffperspective as well as a reflection on the learning opportunities from a student view point.Health Interprofessional Education (HIpE 2009) — Student Conference 11
Abstracts“Plastics in a Box” – Delivering Telehealth Plastic Surgery Outpatient ServicesHeather MacLaren, Senior Occupational Therapist, Judith Elliott, Senior Occupational Therapist,Beth Sperring, Clinical Nurse Consultant, Alan Hamilton, Telehealth Coordinator,Royal Perth HospitalHeather.Maclaren@health.wa.gov.auRoyal Perth Hospital commenced multidisciplinary Plastic Surgery outpatient Telehealth clinics in 2008, toimprove access to specialist services for rural and remote patients in Western Australia. The service averages1500 patient appointments per year. An advanced practitioner model for nurse and occupational therapist ledclinics, along with the development of clinical pathways is in use.With the majority of WA’s tertiary hospital services and specialist medical services located in Perth, a patientmay travel 3200km to Perth for an appointment, which is more expensive and inconvenient for rural and remotepatients compared to their metropolitan counterparts. Ensuring patients receive quality coordinated care requiresservice providers to re-examine traditional processes and practises.Plastic Surgery Telehealth clinics are multidisciplinary and include a Plastics Consultant, Clinical NurseConsultant, Occupational Therapist, technical and administrative support. Services are delivered via interactivereal time videoconferencing with store and forward of radiological and digital photographic images. With thischange to traditional patient follow up, engaging rural clinicians to support the service is vital. The service hasbecome the preferred option for most rural and remote Plastic Surgery patients in WA. Further development willinvolve expanding the clinical pathways, and continuing training and support of local health providers.Rural patients and practitioners are very supportive of Telehealth services. Transforming patient care whileretaining quality and equity for all is shown through the implementation and rapid expansion of this service. It ispossible and viable to deliver expert care in Plastic Surgery via Telehealth.IPE ‘Wound Clinic’ projectAlan Tulloch & Robin WattsCurtin University of TechnologyA.Tulloch@curtin.edu.au, R.Watts@curtin.edu.auOne of the aims of establishing the Silver Chain/Curtin Wound Clinic in 2007 was to develop interprofessionaleducation activities. Several IPE projects were set in motion in 2008. The primary project is aimed at providingstudent groups with access to scenarios and learning materials on wound management using audiovisualtechnologies. Another component is to enable observation and discussion of consultation sessions from anylecture theatre on campus. In addition the clinic can provide interprofessional placements. A second project thathas evolved is the use of Second Life for learning purposes. This is a joint project between Curtin and KingsCollege London. Students from Nursing and Pharmacy will form teams of three to work on six modules over asemester, accessing the ‘patient’ and related information via Curtin’s virtual Wound Clinic on the ‘Bentley South’Second Life island. The presentation will outline progress on the two projects together with images to illustratethe content and processes employed to engage students and support their learning. The interprofessionalcooperation involved in the development of these projects will also be discussed.TeamKeryln Carville Silver Chain/Curtin University of Technology kcarville@silverchain.org.auAlan Tulloch Curtin University of Technology .A.Tulloch@curtin.edu.auRobin Watts Curtin University of Technology R.Watts@curtin.edu.auNick Santamaria Curtin University of Technology/RPH N.Santamaria@curtin.edu.auKerry Reid-Searle Central Queensland University k.reid-searl1@cqu.edu.auLeah Irving Curtin University of Technology L.Irving@curtin.edu.auKim Flintoff Curtin University of Technology K.Flintoff@curtin.edu.auJuliet Keaton WoundsWest/Curtin University of Technology J.Keaton@curtin.edu.auPatricia Reynolds Kings College London p.a.reynolds@kcl.ac.ukPascale Ng Cheong Tin Curtin University of Technology P.NgCheongtin@curtin.edu.auJohn Garyl Lin Wen Ying Curtin University of Technology rgaryl@hotmail.comHealth Interprofessional Education (HIpE 2009) — Student Conference 12
