4 Marg Maister, Georgie Butler and Pam Minchin Palliative Care: When To Refer? Palliative Care is active care. It is a multidisciplinary task and requires the cooperation and participation of a range of providers. It is care that anticipates problems and aims to minimise the impact of the progressing illness so that patients can have the maximum function and comfort within the limits of their illness. Our presenters will give an overview of Albany regions specialised Palliative Care Unit, Albany Community Hospice and look at some topics of interest focusing on the recent Palliative Care WA State Conference theme - Community; Connections, Capacity and Care Choices. When may palliative care be initiated and how can this be introduced sensitively? Is palliative care different for people who have a chronic illness rather than cancer? Anticipating physical problems and planning for the future - the role of Advanced Care Directives More than just pain - providing symptomatic relief 9:45 Louise Campbell Weight Loss and Food The global weight loss industry generates billions of dollars.

Nursing assessment of alcohol-affected people Management of clinical intoxication 12:45PM Lunch Break 1:30 Dianne Van Clarke Understanding and Supporting People Living with Dementia Dementia is the second leading cause of death in Australia and there is no cure. It is the single greatest cause of disability in older Australians (aged 65 years or older) and the third leading cause of disability burden overall. Often a person will present with an acute illness while living with the challenges of dementia. The following topics will be covered: Communication tips Understanding behaviours Resources to support the variety of experiences of those living with dementia Best practice dementia care in the acute care environment Tackling the stigma associated with dementia Tools/resources relating to driving and dementia 2:30 Dr Kelly Ridley Acute Mental Health Assessment: For All Regional Nurses Nurses working in acute care settings, as well as smaller hospitals in regional parts of Australia, will be required to care for people with serious mental illnesses. Therefore, it is essential that all nurses, not just nurses working in mental health settings, have the knowledge, skills and confidence to perform an acute mental health assessment. This practical session will draw on relevant case studies to demonstrate how to assess an acutely unwell person with a mental health disorder. It includes: What are basic principles of a mental health assessment when someone is acutely unwell What is distress and what clinical situations can this be seen in Best practice management and models of care for people with acute mental health crisis 3:15 Afternoon Tea 3:30 Dr Kelly Ridley Beating Burnout in its Tracks Stress reduction is front and central in today's fast paced health environments. Stress affects all levels of staff and is well-known to be detrimental to health and productivity. Nursing is considered to be one of the most stressful jobs as a result of long hours, the need for critical decision-making
6 and therefore potential for burn-out amongst nurses is high. This final session of the conference considers: What impact does stress have on our body and mind?
