Webinar - Aged Care Chapter CPD Meeting

Join us for a 1 hour online Aged Care Chapter meeting. This webinar is exclusive to our Aged Care Chapter Members.

 

Meeting Topic: Oral Health Assessment for RACFs.

We will discuss the importance and marketing value of oral health assessment in the development of an onsite oral health service to RACFs. Why are we doing this? While most residential aged care facilities (RACFs) providers understand and accept responsibility to provide good oral care, it receives low priority because of other competing demands for the limited time and resources available. A preventative, maintenance and minimal intervention approach is needed immediately to reduce the burden on the clinical paradigm that has shown to be ineffective within the current system. Recent research has shown the success of providing RACF residents with preventative oral care, improvement in oral health literacy of residents, staff and carers, and provision of a referral pathway for timely medical care and complex dental treatment.
