    • "Falls Intervention" Education Kit
      The Falls Intervention for Nurses in General Practice was developed as a result of the increased risk of falls being highlighted through the Home Health Assessments and other patients presenting in general practice as a result of falls and the subsequent injuries. The focus of this session highlighted the role the nurse has in patient education, what the nurse can do as patients present opportunistically to the practice, complimenting the GP role /practice team approach and provided resources that are available to assist patients especially through Commonwealth Carelink.
    • "Warfarin Management in General Practice" Education Kit
      The Warfarin Management in General Practice education kit for practice nurses was developed following the Warfarin Collaborative project at CDGP. The interest generated from nurses in general practice on the subject of Warfarin resulted in this education session. The role the nurse has in the practice team and in patient education was the focus of this session.
