This Clinical Practice Workshop facilitates greater awareness and understanding of the prevalent but often unconsidered complex conditions of Late Effects of Polio (LEoP) and Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS). It serves to increase clinician efficacy and confidence in addressing the health and care needs of the tens of thousands of Australians who have these conditions – who are proportionally distributed at about 1 to 2 per thousand residents in Australia.

Whilst there are cross-overs in the treatment and management of other chronic diseases and the management of LEoP/PPS, there are also significant differences.

By participating in this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Describe historical and non-historical aspects of polio as a viral disease

  • Recall the three life phases of a polio survivor in context of disability

  • Compare and contrast Australian polio survivors’ profiles

  • Understand the concepts of being ‘unaffected’, or having been “asymptomatic” when infected

  • Appreciate survivors’ health anxiety, comorbidity risks, symptom variance, injury risk, physiological limitations, assistive technology needs, hospitalisation issues, participation barriers and more

  • List LEoP common features and symptoms

  • Explain how aging relates to and can compound LEoP symptoms

  • Differentiate PPS from other syndrome diagnoses

  • Assess PPS risk factors faced by your patient

  • Examine clinical post-polio scenarios in context of your health discipline

  • Know who is likely a part of the multidisciplinary team working with the survivor

  • Discuss polio survivors’ healthcare barriers and interventional risks

The outcome of being educated on polio survivors and their health conditions is that you will be able to step forward to assess, treat and manage a polio survivor, and advocate for their care and health.

CPD certificates are provided for you to submit to your peak body for credit, and quality practical resources are issued FREE.

This workshop has been endorsed by ANMF, APNA, ESSA, and AOPA, and since its inception the program has delivered over 180 Workshops education sessions across Australia, providing training to over 2080 health professionals.

We look forward to seeing you at our workshop!
