| 10.00am - 12.00pm | Bayer Contraception workshop Facilitated by Dr Orna McGinn Orna is a UK trained GP with qualifications in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Obstetrics and Gynaecology. She works part time as a GP in East Auckland and also teaches on the Diploma of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Auckland. New Zealand currently has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in the OECD, having overtaken the USA in recent years. Despite this, no formal training exists in this country to equip practitioners with the skills they need to discuss and provide the most effective contraception to their patients, LARC (long acting reversible contraception). In this workshop we will discuss the current barriers to accessing contraception in New Zealand, and the advantages of LARC . Model arms and pelvises will be provided and each participant will be shown insertion and removal techniques for Jadelle, Mirena and the copper IUD. Before attending the workshop it is expected that each participant will have completed the Goodfellow Unit learning modules on Jadelle and IUCD as background reading. https://www.goodfellowunit.org Cost: $30, includes morning tea |
| 10.00am - 12.30pm | Understanding the biomechanics and physical demands of one of the toughest rural industries – shearing Facilitated by Laura Hancock, Rural Works Sheep farming has been crucial in the development of the New Zealand economy. Previous studies have focused on the ergonomics and physical demands of shearing and confirm that it is one of the most physically demanding occupations in the world today (Culvenor et al., 1997; Harvey et al., 2002; Stuart et al). The muscular endurance and stamina needed for a full eight or nine hour day shearing in a woolshed is quite astounding, with continuous muscular and neural strain put upon the body in potentially stressful biomechanical positions. This informative 2.5 hour workshop is one of a kind, with an emphasis on upskilling rural health professionals to better help their patients involved with tough physical rural industries. Attendees are encouraged to explore and experience the movement concepts during the workshop. Photographic and video footage is used to break down the shearing process into individual blows to discuss the impact upon the body, both to the muscular and the neural system, of the varying positions and movements undertaken by shearers. Understanding of movement patterns and subsequent strain upon the body helps guide practitioners to be able to educate and advise shearers on how they may manage to maintain and improve the condition of the soft tissues of the body, prevent injuries, maintain mobility and range of motion and improve posture, as well as helping communication and connection with patients who work within the shearing industry. |
