Loneliness and isolation are high risk factors for decreased functioning and quality of life, as well as increased risk for dementia. The COVID pandemic has also negativel impacted older persons, especially in aged care settings.
This talk will discuss the latest research on social isolation and wellbeing in older persons, and how improving social connection can improve outcomes.
Clinical suggestions for identifying and assisting older clients with social connection will be discussed.

Join us for a 2 hours small group tutorial and observation in an Anatomy lab at the University of Wollongong.
There will be stations each group can rotate through, with an Anatomy Tutor (who is also a physiotherapist) at each station. It will be interactive so bring your questions.
This is a face to face event only and will not be recorded
Educate. Inspire. Cultivate curiosity.
Welcome to the first session of this professional development series of six sessions for physiotherapists interested in the mental health arena, where we will hear from people who have lived experience of various mental health challenges.
They will share their perspectives, their stories, and their experiences of the health care system that we can learn from as providers, in order to better shape the care we provide into the future.
You will hear directly from speakers who have lived and learned through:
• Professional burnout
• Chronic and persistent pain
• First Nations marginalisation
• Bipolar disorder
• Gender transition
• Traumatic injury
You will take away:
• New perspectives on mental health from different angles
• A greater sense of preparedness to approach whole person healthcare
• Confidence to create safe professional spaces for yourself and the people you work with

It is well known that virtual care, including telehealth, offers patients and clinicians many benefits including improved access to services, increased timeliness of services provided, increase geographical range of services that are able to be provided. There is also good evidence for a range of clinical interventions and service delivery models in allied health which provides direction as to face to face services that are suitable to adapt to the online environment. Despite this, implementation and sustainability of virtual care service models as usual care remains challenging. This lecture will provide guidance as to how services may be transitioned successfully to virtual care, and introduce evidence based implementation science frameworks that may support implementation and increase the likelihood of sustainability.
