Purpose The project explored the use of new flexible learning practices such as, web and email, interactive multimedia, music and theatre in remote Aboriginal Primary Health Care Services in order to address issues related to: • remote areas • language and literacy barriers • Aboriginal communities Objectives The key objectives were to: • Trial the use of music, theatre, interactive multimedia and Internet with CARHDS participants in town and out bush. • Develop processes to establish and continue to use these methods over the long term. • Develop skills in CARHDS Educators and Aboriginal Health Workers to use these methods for in service education and training and for community health education. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CARHDS is establishing a quality improvement system to cover all aspects of our organization and training delivery. As these methods are used over the next 12 months we hope to gather further evaluation data and improve our delivery further. The benchmarks for the quality improvement system will be gathered from the Aboriginal communities over a six-month period and our performance will be measured against their expressed needs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Health Training in the Red Centre Check out the NTEU Website to download the article: http://www.nteu.org.au/publications/advocate/vol11no1 |
