Pressure Ulcer Prevention & Management Workshop

The USC Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy is pleased to invite you to join us at the upcoming Pressure Ulcer Prevention & Management Workshop, featuring presenters Linda Norton and Krista Baldwin, on June 27th and 28th, 2008. Below is a description of the workshop and link to the online brochure with more information. Please feel free to pass this along to interested colleagues.

Brochure: www.usc.edu/schools/ihp/ot/private/pdfs/PU_brochure_rev.pdf

During this 2 day interactive workshop, participants will work with colleagues and faculty to explore the theories behind pressure management, and apply these theories to managing pressure throughout the client's activities of daily living. Discussion of best practice guidelines and selected research articles is combined with the experiences of participants and faculty to develop a systematic approach to developing a personalized pressure management plan for clients. Video case studies enable participants to discuss common problems such as compliance (or adherence), and explore creative approaches to pressure management.

Regards,
Beth Pyatak

Foot & Nail Care for VETS

At the 2008 Stand Down in San Diego, CA

Stand Downs are one part of the Department of Veterans Affairs efforts to provide services for homeless veterans. Services such as food, clothing, health screenings, social services, housing, and counseling are a variety of offerings from volunteers in the community. Stand Downs are collaborative events, coordinated between local VAs, and other government and community agencies, who serve the homeless.

As a LTC in the Army Nurse Corp with the 9th BN, 104th Division, 4th BDE and the CEO of Taylor'D Health Foot and Nail Care School, I have arranged for RN's interested in Foot and Nail Care to propose a huge showing, offering, and support by conducting a foot and nail care school prior to and during the 2008 event. The team of nurses, PT's etc interested will be prepared to serve 70 -100 VETS each day. Previous graduates are welcome to participate and collect CEU's, experience, and give back to those who have served.

The needs are foot and nail care, education, shoes, socks, referral to an on-site DPM, and morale support- some laying on of hands for healing, hope, and humor. It is phenomenal learning and emotional opportunity.

Day/Dates:   Didactic; Thursday July 10, 2008 - Board Prep 6.0 CEU
 Hands on Feet; Friday & Saturday July 11 & 12, 2008

Times:   Didactic: 0900-1600 at Silverado Senior Living Center (see separate flyer)
 Hands on Feet: 1000-1600; San Diego City College (Balboa Park)

Place:   Silverado Senior Living
 A Specialty Alzheimer's Community
335 Saxony Road, Encinitas, CA 92024
Site phone-760-753-1245

Place:   San Diego City College - park in Old Naval Hospital (now museum)

Taylor'D Health will provide supplies for foot care but other needs are to get donated shoes and socks - men (sizes 9-15), females (sizes 5-9), and children (all sizes).

Cost:   $75.00 Registration Fee/day for Credit
 (6.0 hours of Opportunity for Clinical Credit/day)
