Care Of Children In Hospital

Where have we been? Where are we going? Care of Children in HospitalThis 11-minute video highlights the changes in working relationships between health professionals, parents and children in hospital over the past 30 - 40 years.

Although in recent times parents have been able to stay in hospital with children, and be involved in care in some instances the true value of the role that parents and children play has not always been fully accepted by health professionals.

This video challenges health professionals to formally question their beliefs and practice and to work with parents and children to incorporate the key elements of the emerging partnership paradigm.

AWCH attended the Youth Health2011 – It’s Totally Important Conference in November in Sydney.

The conference ran over 3 days and was a wonderful mix of professionals and young people coming together to discuss youth health.

AWCH jointly hosted a pre-conference workshop which had a morning session discussing the rights of young people in healthcare and the standards required to protect those rights followed in the afternoon with presentations and discussion about training and workforce development in adolescent healthcare.
