Retaining an experienced workforce: The Women’s Late Career Program
Directors of Nursing and Midwifery
With workforce shortages continuing and projected to grow, retaining highly experienced nurses and midwives is critical. Yet the physical and emotional requirements of the profession can take a toll as nurses and midwives advance in their careers. The Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne has piloted a new strategy to increase retention of experienced nurses and midwives: The Late Career Program. Nurses and midwives who self-identify as late career are able to step away from their clinical roles for one day each week to work on projects that leverage their special expertise.

Amplifying the child’s voice when interests elide
Clinical Ethics
In this case-based presentation, we hope to consider the ethical issues arising from the disclosure of life-limiting diagnoses in the paediatric setting. We hope to consider how we might recognise parents with high anxiety wishing to control information flow, and support these families early and better, and then perhaps socialise this approach in institutions and in the wider community.

The birth of maternity specific virtual reality maternity education to Outback Queensland
Rural & Regional Maternity Services
The North West Hospital and Health Services (NWHHS) requires all remote area Nurses to complete Neonatal resuscitation and imminent birth training as part of their mandatory training. However, there are many unique circumstances which hinder continued upskilling in maternity emergencies including, wet season and chronic short staffing. This is where the idea for offering Virtual reality maternity training to remote sites was first envisioned.

Period and Pelvic Pain
Improving Value in Healthcare
Period and pelvic pain is a very common problem impacting on the lives of many teenagers. Many young people report that their pain symptoms are not validated, and they are left missing out on school and activities. There is evidence that repeated pain probably predisposes to chronic pain – thus failing to acknowledge and manage period and pelvic pain in teenagers is a missed opportunity to prevent a potential long-term health problem of chronic pelvic pain. This web conference will cover how understanding the factors that contribute to period and pelvic pain is important to optimally manage the symptoms.
