45th ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE PERIOPERATIVE NURSES COLLEGE OF NZNO
COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY • 11–13 OCTOBER 2018 • NELSON
COMMUNICATION
IS THE KEY
Welcome!
The warmest welcome possible is extended to all of you attending the 45th Annual
Conference of the Perioperative Nurses College.
The Nelson / Marlborough conference committee, along with all the Nelson /
Marlborough Regional delegates, are thrilled to welcome you to our region for this 45th
annual conference.
The committee has really enjoyed getting a programme together for you. We came by
our theme, “COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY” and developed on it, because we are all
in the business of collectively caring for the health and wellbeing of others in a totally
holistic way. To do this, (in an ideal world) in the Operating Room, where we are the
“unconscious patients advocate”, we need to have an integrated team approach, where
open communication and respect for our patients and colleagues are paramount.
This has allowed us to provide you all with a diverse array of topics and wonderful
international, national and local speakers. So we know you will find something new and
informative to take away with you and incorporate into your practice.
Please take advantage and explore the trade exhibition. It is thanks to these industrial
partners that we’re able to provide you with such an affordable conference. Get your
Exhibition Passport completed by visiting the trades and be in to win!
Not only is our programme great but the Nelson Region has so much more for you to
see. The city centre is a very short walk away where you will find the Nelson Museum,
the famous Saturday morning market and boutiques for shopping. Come and have a
coffee or a meal in one of the many cafes, restaurants and bars. There are some coffee
vouchers in your satchels. There is also the walk up the Centre of New Zealand and the
beautiful Queen’s Gardens adjacent to the Suter Art Gallery. The Nelson Arts Festival
is a feast of visual and performing art which will take place from 11-26 October. Have a
look at the pamphlet in your satchel to see what other attractions are available to you. If
you have a car, visiting one of our many wineries for a tasting session is a must.
Join us in our little part of paradise for some learning, networking, socialising, relaxing,
exploring and an all-round good time.

Our perioperative nurses like the balanced approach
we take to life at Southern Cross Hospitals.
Alongside providing positive support, education
and great career development opportunities
inside our hospitals, we believe in our people
having a full and healthy life outside of them too.
Our view on Christmas and New Year’s holidays
is that they should be spent with families, not
at work. So, if you find life is a little too Yin and
not enough Yang, keep us in mind. We might be
able to offer the harmony you’re hoping for.

COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR

Maryanne Coyle
About the presenter
Maryanne Coyle, Territory
Manager for REM Systems
Ltd, came to the role after
an extensive career in
operating rooms around
New Zealand and the UK.
Since training at Wellington
Hospital, Maryanne worked
in the theatres at St Vincent’s, Sydney, was
then theatre charge nurse at the Royal Free
Hospital in London, and held the same
position for several years at Southern Cross
Hospital in Christchurch. While in London,
Maryanne’s entrepreneurial skills led to her
own successful business recruiting nurses
and nannies for clients throughout the UK.
At the same time, she further developed
her public speaking skills, which stand her
in good stead today when she is invited to
speak at national health conferences and
run in-service workshops and seminars for
operating theatre staff. She runs a series of
popular workshops, such as “NO Mystery
Task” and “Personality Plus”, bringing her
own form of theatre to theatre staff, and
providing a fresh and entertaining
approach to understanding the principles
of dealing with personality styles in the OR.
This is about COMMUNICATING WITH
YOUR COLLEAGUES. Using a snapshot
look into the four personality styles and
attempting to work out what personalities
our colleagues have in order to understand
them better. Its funny, provocative, relevant
and important. Leaves you laughing when
you go!

Breakfast Session hosted by
Stryker Surgical Safety Academy
SAFE FLUID MANAGEMENT
IN THE OR
Irene Hawlader
Exposure to blood and body fluids is a
major concern to health care professionals
(HCP) working in operating rooms (ORs).
OR staff are particularly at risk of being
exposed to blood-borne pathogens during
surgical procedures.
Further, studies have found that HCPs in
the emergency and perioperative divisions
had the highest rate of mucocutaneous
exposure.
Thus, it is essential that hospitals use fluid
waste management systems that minimise
risk to staff, while maximising efficiency.
The breakfast session will discuss effective
management of fluid waste in the OR.
About the presenter
Irene Hawlader is a Senior Product
Manager at Stryker South Pacific. In this
role, Irene manages the Orthopaedic
Instruments and Surgical Technologies
portfolios.
With over 15 years’ experience within the
Acute Care market in ANZ, Irene has a
wide depth of knowledge surrounding
Operating Rooms and Safe Surgical
Techniques.

3.3 DERMAL FILLERS

RECONSTRUCTIVE OR COSMETIC
TOOL?
Juliet Asbery
Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers
feature heavily on social media and the
internet. Most people have heard of them
and have an idea of what they are used
for. As nurses we know that some of our
colleagues are part of this billion-dollar
industry. It is easy to dismiss the use and
administration of these products as purely
cosmetic and not worthy of professional
nursing consideration. This presentation
will provide an insight into how these
products evolved, their uses in the clinical
world and why patients choose to use
them.
About the presenter
Juliet Asbery, Nurse
Practitioner (Acute Care).
Trained at Derbyshire
Royal Infirmary in the
United Kingdom. She
immigrated to New
