The reading that stands out the most to me personally for Week 8 is ‘Dementia: stigma, language, and dementia-friendly’, because I have members in my family who suffer from severe dementia. Moreover, it relates to the issues that I discussed in my AE3 essay. Hence, I think it will be really insightful in terms of broadening the knowledge I attained whilst writing my essay. It may also inform me of ways in which some of the issues raised in my essay may be combatted, specifically the stigma associated with dementia for sufferers and their families/ caregivers, as it explores the concept of a dementia-friendly community; a resolution mentioned in many of the readings I came across during my essay research, but did not explore with depth.

This is not because I do not think the content is interesting or valuable, but because I do not have plans of being a rural health professional at the moment. Therefore, I think out of the readings for Week 8, this would be the least applicable to me in future practice. However, I do think it is useful to know how rural health professionals can aid in community health development by acting as the boundary crossers in accessing health care and health services for those living in remote areas. ¬ In the week 8 lecture slot there will be a panel discussion about Inclusive Practice with special guests from the (broadly) health services sector. Imagine you are going to be in the audience of Insight (SBS) or QandA (ABC). In preparation for the session, write down some questions that you would like to ask potential future employers about health inequity and inclusive practice. Some questions that I may ask potential future employers about health inequity and inclusive practice are: 1. What do you define to be inclusive practice? 2. What strategies would you apply in your workplace to achieve inclusive

Its mission on the other hand, is focused on delivering a holistic and person-centric approach by leading and optimizing a normal life for dementia-suffering elderly.

This is provided through the collaboration of funding and administration of the local, state and federal government. Meanwhile, according to Australian statistics, there are more than 353,800 who are living with dementia. In less than five years, it is projected to rise to 400,000; and due to the fact that there is currently no cure for the condition, and with the

The Australian health care system is founded on the concept of equity of Access. Discuss this Statement with relation to the concepts of Effectiveness and efficiency and any interrelation that may exist.
Social Justice is defined as “The fair distribution of society’s benefits and responsibilities and their consequences. It focuses on the relative position of one social group in relation to others in society, as well as the root causes of disparities and what can be done to eliminate them” CNA (as cited in CNO, 2009). Social Justice is very important in community health care. A healthcare worker/Nurse makes relationship with several different patients in the community who are divided based on age, sex, ethnicity, culture and more. It is important for the nurse to provide care by following all the attributes of social Justice. The definition above provides the importance of each attribute and one of the important attribute of social justice which is Equity (health equity). Health Equity is defined as “A component of a fair and just society is equitable access and fair distribution of the conditions required for good health” (Abbass Dick, 2016). “Equity” is different than “equally”. When we say equally, everything is divided in equal amount between everyone despite what they have or not but in equity everything is in fair amount. It’s given to those who are in need, some who has they share are not given. In this RCA I will reflecting on how employees of Brampton Civic Hospital are treated with Equity and how nurses provided ethical care based on culture, beliefs and health status of the employee at Occupational Health.
