Research shows that: 

• ADHB Sharps Bins are being inadequately used for Sharp items

  

• Workers have very little training about what constitutes a “sharp item” versus a blunt item (which can be disposed of by alternate methods)
• The financial and environmental cost of emptying the Sharps Bins is significant. ADHB could direct $150,000 per annum back into patient care just by using these Sharps Bins correctly.

Audiences It will enable all new clinical staff to better understand ADHB policy and practice for sharps disposal. The current clinical staff will meet an essential level of competency in sharps management.

About this course

SSFC training is especially suited to practitioners working in adult mental health and addictions services, where the service user is typically seen on their own.  This is because the SSFC process is designed to help practitioners make the shift from individual engagement to family/whānau engagement in a manner that does not threaten the practitioner’s existing relationship with the service user.
It is important to remember that facilitating a single session consultation, which may include children and other family members, is about engaging with the family and problem solving, rather than family therapy.

SSFC training is also useful for practitioners working with infants, children and young people. While many practitioners often work with parents, caregivers, whānau and children, SSFC provides a framework for involving other family members such as a non-custodial or separated parent, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or anyone that the service user, or in the case of younger children, their parents want to include.

SSFC can help to guide the conversation about who to involve, in what timeframe and what will or not be discussed in the session.
