A recent trial, led by Children's Health Queensland's occupational therapist Katherine Dalton, is easing the strain of hand fractures in busy clinical environments by introducing a specialist paediatric Australian hospital first, allied health led paediatric hand fracture clinic. The five-month trial saw all hand fracture referrals triaged by an orthopaedic doctor, and those highly likely to not require surgical attention would see a specialist hand occupational therapist only. The new model of care was co-designed by clinicians and families at the Queensland Children's Hospital (QCH) to lower patient wait times for families in outpatient clinics and ease the burden of acute hand fractures on busy clinical environments. This was achieved through patient journey mapping, a tool which helps patients share their healthcare experience and allows open discussion to suggest areas for improvement as well as possible solutions. "The project is a contemporary example of healthcare teams collaborating with families to improve both the clinical environment, as well as the outcomes and experience for patients," said Ms Dalton. The trial eased the burden on the medical orthopaedic fracture clinic by 20 per cent, during a period which experienced a 22 percent surge in referrals of children with a broken hand. The QCH will continue the allied health led hand fractures clinic in 2024 and 2025, with other Australian paediatric hospitals reaching out to investigate developing a similar model of care.

Networking and Learning Event for Safety and Occupational Health Professionals Are you working in Safety or Occupational Health? This free networking and learning event may be of interest to you. Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure The most common cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos. Over 90% of mesothelioma cases are caused by exposure to asbestos fibres, typically encountered in the workplace. Asbestos in Schools Recent media reports have highlighted the dangers of asbestos in our schools. Shockingly, less than 2% of maintenance and other workers in schools who might disturb asbestos have received appropriate training, and 13% have not had any asbestos awareness training. “That’s like putting someone in a minefield, but not giving them a map.” Learn more about the predicted deaths due to asbestos in UK schools: Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/ejcpREXq Join Us If you would like to attend this free event, please complete your details through the following link: https://lnkd.in/eX4KBacg

😲Been seeing social media posts of Dynamic Movement Intervention where children with special needs are being balanced and lifted up sideways or flipped from lying to sitting 🤔Wondering what is Dynamic Movement Intervention and if it can help your child more than Early Intervention Paediatric Physiotherapy with an Expert Paediatric Physiotherapist According to the founders of Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI), it is described as "a therapeutic technique used in physiotherapy and occupational therapy to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and help each child progress towards developmental milestones. The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response from the child in response to defined dynamic exercises prescribed by the therapist. (This means that the therapist will present an exercise in order to provoke a specific movement or response from your child.)" It is claimed that "DMI reflects current research on neurorehabilitation, technologies and methodologies. DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to help a child's brain make new and improved connections and develop their motor milestones."🥴 However, it is important to note that the founders of DMI also states that "We don't have research out about DMI Therapy,😳 however, there is research out that support the theories behind DMI Therapy. Research is difficult to do with children because in research a controlled (placebo) group is always required. Parents are less likely to sign their children up for something that may not benefit their child (if they end up in the controlled/placebo group). However, practitioners see the benefits of DMI Therapy in the patients that they treat. As anecdotal evidence is presented in case studies and research papers, the body of evidence will continue to grow."
