Leaders Evolving and Developing (L.E.A.D.) Program - Bootcamp 1.0
Date: Nov 14, 2019 Time: 0830 - 1700
Pharmacists promoted into management positions often find themselves challenged by tasks and responsibilities for which they lack specific training. This bootcamp will develop critical skills pharmacists must possess in order to be effective managers and leaders. It includes how to build and leverage key relationships within the organisation, build effective teams within their departments, lead and develop staff members, establish and implement new programs and services, track performance, and develop strategic plans for their departments.
Areas of focus for this program will include:
  • Action-oriented strategic planning for managers to turn environmental changes into sustainable services and outcomes
  • Accountability and pharmacy finance for leadership success
  • Alignment of skills and strengths to build your team to meet the demands of tomorrow
  • Advancing pharmacy practice through excellence in technician staffing models

Supported by our Strategic Partner, Roche.

Heart Failure: Preserved or Reduced – Facilitated by the Cardiology Leadership Committee
Date: Nov 14, 2019 Time: 0830 - 1230
This half day pre-conference session will discuss the current therapies for managing Heart Failure. The first session will discuss the management of the patient with reduced ejection fraction, presented by Professor John Atherton on how he manages these patients. John was the chair of the writing group for the Australian Heart Failure Guidelines. This will be followed by an interactive case-based discussion on the management of patients with Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction, with specific focus on managing the initiation and management of sacubitril/valsartan.

The second session will focus on the difficulty of managing patients with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction. It will commence with a Cardiologist focusing on what evidence is available in this setting and discussing therapies currently in trials. This will be followed by another interactive case-based discussion on multidisciplinary Heart Failure programs, focusing on specialist pharmacist input into therapy.
AUD 175.00

Engaging in Feedback Processes
Date: Nov 14, 2019 Time: 0830 - 1230
Facilitated by the Education and Educational Visiting Leadership Committee.
Feedback is the key to learning, but research suggests that feedback in the health professions is less useful than liked. There are a number of myths about feedback that continue to be propagated.

Three of these will be covered in the workshop:
  1. Feedback needs praise-criticism balancing rules
  2. Feedback is a skill residing within the teacher
  3. Feedback is an input process
These myths perpetuate unproductive rituals, discrete episodes of educators ‘telling’ that are backward facing. This workshop will offer alternative practical perspectives on these myths.

Our orienting principles are that:
  1. Feedback should be dynamic and co-constructed
  2. Students should be encouraged to be agentic through interpreting and making use of feedback information (“feedback literacy”)
  3. Feedback should develop students’ capacity to make judgements about the quality of their work.
These principles reposition feedback as a co-constructed socio-cultural student-led process, where they make sense of information along a learning trajectory. Here feedback is a process and it makes a difference.
Equipping learners to engage in feedback processes may reduce the emotional burden on both parties, rendering techniques such as the feedback sandwich redundant. This workshop will also highlight the benefits for both learners and teachers in conceptualising feedback as a relational activity and in tracing its effects. These effects may be immediate or latent, and include changes in learner evaluative judgement, motivation, clinical performance or professional identity.

Principles of Geriatric Medicine in practice workshop – Facilitated by the Geriatric Medicine Leadership Committee
Date: Nov 14, 2019 Time: 1330 - 1730
Facilitated by the Geriatric Medicine Leadership Committee.
This session is designed to help pharmacists understand and apply geriatric medicine principles of care to the management of frail older people in non-geriatric care settings (e.g. general medicine wards, cardiology wards, etc). The workshop will enhance participants’ decision-making skills around prescribing, medication review and deprescribing for frail older people. It will help them to incorporate factors such as patient’s values and goals of care, quality of life, life expectancy, multimorbidity, treatment burden and risk of adverse effects into their practice. The session will also introduce the SHPA Standard of Practice in Geriatric Medicine for Pharmacy Services which will be available later this year. The format will include short presentations and case-based discussions.

Paediatrics and Neonatology and Women’s and Newborn Health – Facilitated by the Paediatrics and Neonatology and Women’s and Newborn Health Leadership Committees
Date: Nov 14, 2019 Time: 0830 - 1630
8.25am - 12.45pm Morning Session | 12.45pm -1.30pm Lunch | 1.30pm - 4.45pm Afternoon Session

Facilitated by the Paediatrics and Neonatology and Women’s and Newborn Health Leadership Committees.

Full day registration (includes collaborative morning session and one afternoon session):

  • Date: Thursday 14 November
  • Time: 0830 – 1630
  • SHPA Member: $260 incl GST
  • Non-member: $370 incl GST
  • Location: Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre

The morning sessions are intended to examine a range of topics that are applicable to women, newborns, paediatrics and neonatology. The focus will be to provide insights for challenging and emerging areas of clinical practice specific for these patient populations. Electronic medicines management is key to safely managing medications in clinical care. When designing and improving these systems, there are important obstetric, neonatal and paediatric considerations. There is increasing use of novel, off-label and complex medications in obstetric, paediatric and neonatal patients. In clinical pharmacy services we need to ensure judicious prescribing, learn to navigate principles to apply when evaluating the evidence, and ensure we have established procedures in place to safeguard these systems.

Half day registration (one afternoon session only):

  • Date: Thursday 14 November
  • Time: 1330 – 1645
  • SHPA Member: $175 incl GST
  • Non-member: $230 incl GST
  • Location: Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre
The afternoon Women's and Newborn Health session will include a focus on key considerations for managing neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy and seizures, medication management challenges related to epilepsy in pregnancy, and an overview of pain management in delivery and the postpartum. There will also be the opportunity to hear the latest research related to Women’s and Newborns Health.

The Paediatrics and Neonatology afternoon breakout session will focus on a range of topics highlighting the ever expanding role of the paediatric pharmacist in a variety of specialist inpatient and ambulatory care settings. Paediatric pharmacists are breaking new ground by expanding their clinical role to the outpatient clinics, demonstrating the valuable impact early medication review and feedback can have for patients in ambulatory care settings. Childhood immunisation and antimicrobial allergy de-labelling are some of the most effective antimicrobial stewardship strategies to reduce infection burden and combat antimicrobial resistance. Both sessions will focus on practical ways the paediatric pharmacist can improve patient care and outcomes as part of a specialist multi-disciplinary team. Managing infectious complications in vulnerable paediatric patients can be tricky. This session will focus on the management of these complications, as well as the increasing use of novel, off-label and complex medications in paediatric transplant patients.

Voluntary Assisted Dying – Facilitated by the Palliative Care Leadership Committee
Date: Nov 14, 2019 Time: 1300 - 1700
Facilitated by the Palliative Care Leadership Committee.
Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) is now a choice for citizens of some states of Australia, with other states undergoing reviews of public and stakeholder’s opinions to develop recommendations. It is important that healthcare professionals understand their professional responsibilities with respect to this change in legislation.

This session aims to give context to the law by discussing what VAD is and isn’t, a global background, the state-based laws governing VAD, and the role and practical implications for pharmacists. This will not be a session debating the merits or otherwise of this end of life choice.
