Come and join us!
Mark is an advanced practice physiotherapist in stroke rehabilitation working at Burwood Hospital. He is interested in evidence-practice and implementation science.
In early 2023, the stroke services at Burwood Hospital embarked on a service improvement project using an implementation science framework. The project's aim was to increase therapy for patients, towards levels recommended by the Australian and NZ stroke guidelines.
Mark's presentation will cover current stroke rehabilitation evidence and a process for successful service improvement.
Mark will present for 40 minutes, followed by a 20-minute opportunity for discussion.
The Zoom link will be sent to you upon registration.
Please note that the event will be hosted via Zoom. We have noticed an increasing number of people (mainly Health NZ staff) who are unable to access Zoom via their work computers. We are looking into alternatives; however, all options appear to have their own unique challenges depending on organisational settings. Please discuss if and how you can access Zoom via your workplace computer with your IT support people prior to the event. We are not able to support with access issues on the day.
Please share the invitation with anyone you think might be interested in joining us for this session. We ask that they register separately so that we can contact them directly if there are any event changes, further information to share and/or follow-up resources. Thanks!
NB: We can only make these events free if people become members of the NZRA (so we can pay for the website and event management platform). If you are not already, please consider becoming a paid-up member. It costs NZ$25 per year- a bargain! Join here: https://www.rehabilitation.org.nz/join-us
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the NZRA secretary via admin@rehabilitation.org.nz prior to the event.
The theme for RMSANZ NZRA 2025 is Building Lives. This theme speaks to the people we look after, the clinicians and allied health representatives involved in their care and our venue. Te Pae Convention Centre sits at the heart of Ōtautahi Christchurch. Te Pae aligns with the Māori concept of ki uta ki tai (from the mountains to the sea) - the movement of water through the landscape and the numerous interactions it has on its way, symbolising our client’s rehabilitation journey.
The program aims to showcase the breadth and depth of rehabilitation. We are delighted to have international guest speakers Dr Nathan D. Zasler and Dr Kathleen Sluka join us along with our binational leaders in the field of rehabilitation. We will provide a forum for Rehabilitation Medicine Physicians and our colleagues from Allied Health, Nursing and related medical specialities to share knowledge, skills, experiences and opportunities to network. We envision this conference as a space for innovative engagement and dialogue focusing on health-optimising solutions in rehabilitation service delivery across the lifespan.
The NZRA is working collaboratively with RMSANZ to ensure that the programme will be of interest to rehabilitation providers, funders and planners from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and working in a range of contexts.
