Seminar: The Seating Effect – Laying the foundations to overcome seating challenges
Wednesday 16 Oct 2019
Technology Park Function Centre Bentley
Riding on the success of our educational seminars this year, Unicare Health’s clinical educator and trainer, Annette Terranova, delivered another impactful training session, focussed on the foundations of effective seating systems and how to achieve them.
Travelling from New South Wales to join her as guest speakers at this seating seminar were Tracee-Lee Maginnity – Clinical Education Specialist and Magdalena Love – Territory Sales Manager with Permobil Australia.
More than 100 enthusiastic therapists involved in seating prescriptions for hospitals, aged care and disability registered to attend this seminar, many of whom have become huge fans and kind advocates of our training events.
This seminar was organized and sponsored by Unicare Health to support therapists looking to feel more comfortable with enabling effective seating prescriptions and wanting to develop a greater familiarity with commonly prescribed seating options.
This interactive and hands-on seminar required active participation from participants all day. Therapists were taught how to take accurate body measurements, made to touch and look at materials inside wheelchair cushions to understand their pressure care properties, inflate Roho cushions, have a go with Roho’s SmartCheck device and more. Participants had a very enjoyable time learning through practical interactions.
We are grateful for the spectacular turnout and awesome feedback received from participants at this seminar, and even more appreciative of the feedback received from seniors therapists telling us how the contents and delivery of this training session had exceeded their expectations.
Unicare Health is glad for the opportunity to be leading the way in delivering seating education for therapists in Western Australia with the aim of achieving better seating outcomes for clients.
Effective learning aside, we love how our training seminars have become a happy place for networking, making new friends and encouraging industry collaboration.
Unicare Health would like to thank Tracee-Lee and Magdalena for the valuable education on Roho and Bodypoint products that has increased the confidence that therapists need to prescribe and setup these products when developing equipment solutions with us.
We would also like to thank everyone for investing their day with Unicare Health to improve their seating prescription skills and look forward to working with you to deliver better seating systems for your clients. We are grateful for your partnership and continued support.
We trust that the teachings from this seminar will encourage the prescription of better seating solutions to achieve long term positive outcomes.
