Amputees (pre-module)
Black Hat (Difficulties)
-
Can be challenging to link with and access supports from amputee clinics at larger hospitals in small rural centres
-
Management of certain areas of amputee presentations clinically challenging and beyond current skill set - swelling, stump shaping, phantom pain etc.
-
My experience with managing amputees in rural and remote areas has been characterised by constant challenges dealing with teams at larger centres who offer varying levels of supports to patients and have unrealistic expectations on what can be provided locally
-
Red Hat (Feelings)
I feel apprehensive about managing amputees in a rural context due to service limitations and my own clinical skills
I worry that amputee patients are not recieving best practice care when specialist services refer to me for local management
-
By undertaking upskilling and improving knowledge/skills I can improve in this area and adress some of these concerns
Green Hat (Creativity)
-
By increasing skills and knowledge I can provide better quality care to patients in their own environments
Experience of amputation and increased interaction with health service can be opportunity for positive health and behaviour changes
Partnerships/linking with specialist services provides me an opportunity to learn and for patients to access better services
Yellow Hat (Benefits)
Evidence based, person centred rehab can improve outcomes for amputee patients
Increasing my skills allows for more provision of care closer to home, something clients value
Improving strength and fitness through exercise can significantly improve function in amputee patients
