Handbook

This subject provides the opportunity for students to examine global, national and regional perspectives on achieving optimal health for those living with chronic and complex conditions (non-communicable diseases). Students will extend their knowledge and capacity to actively engage with people living with chronic and complex conditions, families, carers and communities to maximise self-management. This will include an exploration of emerging and evidence-based models supporting development of health literacy, empowerment and enablement. Students will examine systems issues impacting on advanced nursing practice including: challenges associated with condition-specific frameworks and services for people living with multiple physical and psychological conditions; enabling integrated care across services; working with First Nations peoples and other marginalised groups.
