The new Aged Care & Retirement INsite unveiled!
INsite
cover the full spectrum of aged-care and retirement issues - from
education and training to community care, management and finance,
dementia, technology and retirement.
Some highlights of the April/May 2010 issue include:
- Careerforce governance review. The
long-awaited review suggests a new board be appointed to run the
ITO.
- Falls funding stumbles. Last issue we looked
at falls programmes, but we incorrectly claimed some were funded by
ACC. Fiona Cassie looks at why they aren't funded.
- Importing nurses. The Government has rejected
the NZACA proposal to bring in nurses from overseas so that they
can work as caregivers until fully qualified to work here.
- Generations sing. Julie Jackson-Gough offers
an insight into a programme where residents sing with local school
children.
- Implementing IT. We canvas some experts to
give practical pointers about implementing IT in your facility.
.
- Catering & nutrition. Gaye Philpott lifts
the lid on busy facility kitchens.
- The growth of a nurse practitioner. The latest
aged-care NP, Deb Gillon, talks to Fiona Cassie.
- Building for the future. We visit a Taranaki
resthome and report on how they are managing the renovation process
with residents on site.
