Resources

Allied Health Professions Australia (AHPA) and its members regularly develop resources and guidance to help allied health practitioners in their work and to support their ongoing education and professional development.

AHPA may also occasionally share resources developed by other organisations. The resources available through AHPA are intended to be multidisciplinary in nature and reflect the organisation’s broad focus. If you are seeking resources for a specific profession, please visit the homepage of your professional association. We ask that you do not host or reproduce these resources without express permission from AHPA or the original content developer.

Webinar Series with Australian Digital Health Agency

AHPA partnered with Australian Digital Health Agency for a set of  interactive sessions and panel discussions focusing on how digital health tools, such as My Health Record, can support enhanced models of person-centred care.

Recordings and registrations available below:

Webinar 1: Benefits of My Health Record in Aged Care
This webinar explores the potential benefits of My Health Record for the ageing population to help understand the context for the Royal Commission’s recommendations for its use within the aged care sector.

Webinar 2: My Health Record: Get Connected!

This webinar explores the potential benefits of My Health Record, focusing on how digital health tools, such as My Health Record, can support enhanced models of person-centred care.

Webinar 3: My Health Record for Allied Health Professionals in Aged Care

Learn how having access to key health information can contribute to the safer use of medicines, better decision support for Allied Health and improved transition of care for a resident. This webinar will provide an opportunity for Health care professionals working in the aged care sector to better understand how My Health record can be used to improve care outcomes.

Webinar 4: Securely communicating with your referrers – using secure messaging in your allied health practice

Traditionally healthcare providers have used fax and email to share patient and clinical information, however these mediums have little to no security measures. Secure messaging ensures better protection of patient information through enhanced security measures and can save both you and your referrers valuable time. This webinar will cover how to use secure messaging in your allied health practice and an overview of the Service Registration Assistant. Finally, the webinar will conclude with a panel discussion where participants will have the opportunity to ask questions.
