Announcing Burwood Academy’s new General Manager
Peer Group 15 July 2021: Catherine Vingerhoets
This presentation shares insights from Catherine’s most recent research exploring how health professionals come to know their patients and what is important to them during inpatient neurological rehabilitation. The focus is on what clinicians understood about the terms patient values, preferences, and circumstances, as well as the strategies and approaches used in current practice to elicit and share this information within interprofessional teams. Clinical implications within the New Zealand context will be shared.
