The care of rheumatology patients can be complex, often requiring medications that need close monitoring and education to ensure best and safe outcomes. There is often minimal time within the busy clinical outpatient setting to holistically review the patient's needs. The rheumatology clinical nurse consultant telehealth service was introduced to achieve better patient outcomes and provide a comprehensive approach to the delivery of care to any individual anywhere. Ensuring that patients have a greater understanding of their rheumatological condition can lead to patient empowerment and better outcomes. The implementation of the clinic via telehealth was to provide an alternative way to receive specialist nursing care. This also helps to reduce petrol and parking costs as well as having positive environmental implications. It also means that patients can receive holistic care wherever they may live and is particularly useful for those living in rural and remote areas. By offering telehealth, patients have less time off work which leads to more work productivity and time spent with family. It also means that the interval between patients being reviewed by the clinician can be increased as the telehealth service allows for interim follow up. This therefore allows for more patients to be reviewed in clinic by the nurse practitioner and other clinicians.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page   Running Sheet: What is POTS?00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:03:52 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week is 2018 St Hallett's Blackwells Shiraz. 00:08:46 Claire Seeley It was only the last few days that I discovered the existence of a syndrome known as POTS. And the irony is, there could be people among us who are suffering from it without knowing it exists, either. This is the dilemma created by an syndrome that impacts the automatic nervous system in a range of ways, making it difficult to diagnose. What's more, we now are seeing people with post acute Covid being very suseptiable to POTS. Our guest tonight, Claire Seeley, discovered she had POTS, shortly after a viral infection and has not only been living with it ever since, but she's been working with fellow sufferers in her role as a Clinical Nurse Consultant, under the supervision of Associate Professor Dennis Lau (Cardiologist/Electrophysiologist) at Adelaide University. Welcome to The Adelaide Show. Australian POTS Foundation We're going to talk about what POTS is, your research into it, your work in with patients, and the Australian POTS Foundation, but first, if someone I know was suffering from a serious onset of POTS,  what sort of signs would I notice? What did you experience? Let's get into the detail. What do we know about POTS (and how do you pronounce all the words) You mentioned in some of your notes that, historically, POTS has been much maligned by the medical profession. Any idea why? It is related to how complex it must be to diagnose? Who is most at risk? What outcomes should people expect to experience after being diagnosed with POTS? In other words, can it be treated successfully? Can you tell us more about your work at Adelaide University. I think you said you are in one of the primary centres for treatment of Autonomic Cardiac Disorders in Australia. The condition is highly associated with another poorly recognized condition could hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which affects the collagen in the connective tissue. Why? Listener, Lisa, has a question: She says her mum has Bradi Tachi Cardia, a heart condition. Unsure if related to POTS. Apparently it leads to her heart rate changing from fast to slow and vice versa. She said it would be good to know its common name. There has been a surge in presentations and diagnosis of POTS in people post acute Covid-19.  To the point that there is now a drive for increased funding to understand the impact and cause of this condition. What is your research focussing on? Do you need volunteers? You have started a Foundation, tell us more about it. Finally, I saw you recently at the birthday celebration for Sir Frank Seeley, your father-in-law. We just dressed up and went and feasted and chatted and headed home. Did POTS impact your approach to being at that night? 01:10:30 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we hear from Claire Seeley's son-in-law and daughter, Ben and Janna Romeo, with a song called, Yellow Brick Road.

Julie speaks with experienced Clinical Nurse Consultant, Kelly Arthurs, a Registered Nurse who specialises in Palliative Care. It's a very important topic that is often not discussed openly in Aged Care because people don't know how to ask the right questions or what to say or do, and Kelly has great insights to share. Kelly explains what Palliative Care is, including the 5 phases of Palliative Care, because it's something people often are confused about. She shares a bit about her background and what inspired her to specialise in Palliative Care, as well as about the Hammond Care Centre for Learning and Research in Palliative Care. Julie and Kelly discuss how people working in Aged Care can connect with their local Palliative Care unit, as well as some resources for families or staff to use. Kelly also emphasises the power of information to equip staff and families with the knowledge of what death and dying looks like and how to make it a beautiful time for families. Kelly shares some tools to use, including the ‘surprise' question, and why we need to take the opportunity to plan for good deaths even though it might be scary or hard to talk about.

The past week has been Wound Awareness Week. The problem of wounds in Australia has been called a hidden epidemic with an approximate 420,000 Australians suffering from chronic wounds, estimated to cost them each more than $4000 a year to treat – nationally that’s more than $3 billion annually. In addition to these financial costs, chronic wounds can be incredibly debilitating and painful, impacting a person’s health, finances and quality of life. Hard to heal wounds require a thorough patient and wound assessment by a trained specialist.   Melissa Ward is a Clinical Nurse Consultant at Sydney Adventist Hospital’s dedicated Wound Care Clinic.

Right now, almost everything in our lives revolves around the idea of flattening the COVID-19 curve. But, there is a second curve we need to work towards flattening, one that no one is talking about; the impacts of the pandemic on our emotional and mental wellbeing. In this episode we speak to Angela Wall, a Clinical Nurse Consultant of Mental Health, who has over 11 years’ experience as a nurse in the wards and as a nurse therapist. We thought we’d take a look at the pandemic through a psychological lens to answer questions such as: Why are we seeing behaviours such as panic buying, hoarding, and aggression? What are the impacts of all the COVID-19 coverage? and; What can we do to maintain our own mental wellbeing during these times? No matter who or where you are, we believe this episode will provide an insight to help us all nagivate the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. ****** If you are experiencing distress or are suicidal, or know someone who is, help is available.

I use singing as my way of releasing my frustrations and expressing myself. It’s a way to calm me and I enjoy the spiritual feeling I get from it. It must be the deep breathing and the centering. But what happens when singing is your job and sometimes you always fall sick before an important gig. Over the years, through dealing with students and professional singers, I had noticed that the first thing to go is the voice. What happens when you can’t overcome performance anxiety no matter how much you practice. This is where Melissa Zammit, of Pure Energy Therapies, comes in. This is just another resource that you can use to overcome performance anxiety or to prepare yourself for gigs, mentally and physically. Melissa is a fully qualified Energetic Healing practitioner. (Diploma of Energetic Healing). She has a background in Cancer Nursing and experience as a Clinical Nurse Consultant working directly with woman with Breast Cancer. Melissa and I first met at a Marie Forleo’s B-school gathering and from the moment I met her I was drawn to her work. This energy healing is not to replace any medical professional advice.  I know you will get a lot of practical tips within this interview to help you as a performer. We chat about her work and how it has helped many people, her gift of seeing spirits, which angel to call upon to help clear blockages, and the affirmations and techniques (EFT) that will help you to manifest the performance you want. Here are my questions and what you will learn:   Tell us about what you do? What is energy?  How can your work help singers and performers? What are some ways that someone at home can clear their own energy so they can be more confident? How to clear blocked energy through Chakra meditation?

Tell us about the first time you saw one and what is their purpose? How can someone tap into that side of their being?
