Independence at mealtimes - Well for Life educational package

This Well for Life educational package has been developed to assist occupational therapists to conduct an information session on promoting residents’ independence at mealtimes. The approach of workplace learning focusses on developing and implementing organisational structures and workplace-specific processes that foster staff learning, both formally and informally, from their work, while they work. The package is designed to be used by people who may not have a background in education or training, but who do have specialist knowledge in occupational therapy and aged care. Includes a checklist, presentation resources and case studies designed to assist staff to develop assessment and management skills. An occupational therapist is required to conduct the training.
