Indigenous Ear Health is an area close to the hearts of many health professionals in Australia. In an era of new technologies, ever expanding research and evidence based practice, there are increasing demands on the Ear Health professional to translate this to the patient. This workshop aims to provide an overview of the current practice, evidence and management of Indigenous Ear Health, with a practical focus on what every one of us can do to make a difference in our patients both now and in the future.

ATSI ASOHNS 2015

4th Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ear Health Meeting held 6 March 2015 in Sydney as a satellite meeting to the ASOHNS 2015 Annual Scientific Meeting

          

 

The ATSI ASOHNS 2015 meeting focused on the innovations and excellence inear delivery currently happening throughout Australia in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

 

This meeting was the fourth such meeting held as a satellite meeting to the ASOHNS Annual Scientific Meetings.

 

While the previous meetings addressed the depravity and dichotomy of the health care services provided for ear disease in ATSI, the objective for 2015 was to ensure that excellence in ear disease prevention was promoted among these communities.

 

Ultimately, we are working towards developing a well-funded, nationally coordinated approach that engages all stakeholders working in partnership with ATSI communities to develop and deliver appropriate, effective, multi-disciplinary programs and services.

 

 

This meeting is designed to bring together all those involved in managing ear health in our ATSI communities, including:

ENT surgeons   *  ENT nurses  *  ATSI health workers  *  rural / regional surgeons  *  GPs  *  audiologists  *  speech pathologists  *  occupational therapists  *  teachers  *  researchers  *  policy bureaucrats  *  government (both state and federal) representatives  *  otitis media interest

The workshop was designed to bring together ENT surgeons, GPs, nurses, Aboriginal health workers, audiologists, teachers and many other workers involved in managing ear health.

‘Indigenous Ear Health Workshop – Making a Difference’ includes national experts in their field who address management issues and developments in treating chronic ear disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) children.

The main topics relate to translational and clinical research in the field – making a difference to the lives of these children.

The workshop explores associated public health, paediatric, immunological and education issues associated with chronic ear disease.

At its conclusion, participants should be cognisant of current applied research and treatment strategies for ATSI people with chronic ear disease.

2012

Aboriginal Ear Disease - A multi-disciplinary study day

held 31 March 2012 in Adelaide as a satellite meeting to the ASOHNS 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting

 

  


The management of Aboriginal ear disease remains a major health problem in Australia. It involves a multi-disciplinary approach and significant infrastructure.

The delivery of services varies widely across States and Territories and in many areas, it is fair to say that there has been little or no progress over recent years.

This study day is designed to bring together ENT surgeons, GPs, nurses, Aboriginal health workers, audiologists, teachers and many other workers involved in the
management of ear health.



Outline
A review of current and recommended care pathways for the management of chronic otitis media in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.


Learning outcomes

  • To learn about the current epidemiology of Aboriginal ear disease in Australia.
  • To learn about how services are currently provided in each of the States and Territories of Australia.
  • To establish research priorities for future work.
  • To critically analyse current models of care and propose new treatment algorithms
