Healthy Ageing Talks: A nurse's guide to support from your GP

Welcome to Healthy Ageing Talks @ Geelong West Neighbourhood House!

~A PRACTICE NURSE’S INSIGHT INTO HOW YOUR GP PRACTICE CAN SUPPORT YOU~

Join us to hear from Sally Waldron, Practice Nurse at Kunatjarra Medical Centre.

Sally is a Registered Nurse who has worked in metropolitan and country hospitals and has spent the last 15 years working in GP settings. Her current role is supporting GPs, allied health professionals, patients and their families. Sally has a particular interest in chronic disease prevention and management of the client aged over 65 years.

Get the insider's guide to how your GP practice can assist you, including on topics such as:

· Vaccines: As a community, vaccination is important for protecting the more vulnerable

· Care Plan: a plan devised with the nurse, GP and patient for improved management and health outcomes of a chronic disease condition.

· MHCP: a mental health care plan can assist the client with navigating loss, setting goals, boundaries and priorities. A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body.

· Home Medicine review: Discussing correct storage, timing and method with a pharmacist who visits you at home.

· Advanced Care planning/end of life care: Shared planning for your future health care needs. How to have the conversation with the family and your GP.
