Summary
Professional boundaries refer to the distinctions that a worker or professional or group of professionals make between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. In the delivery of health care services, they are critical to maintain a proper, professional relationship between workers and clients. However, it is an area where there can be many 'shades of grey' and health care providers must use appropriate decision-making tools to guide their behaviour. This programme provides an introduction to the area of professional boundaries, and includes interviews with three experienced health professionals, including renowned consultant and trainer, Jenny Bray - along with some excellent dramatized scenarios aimed at provoking thought and discussion in this important area. It is an essential learning resource for students studying in a range of health care areas, and working health care professionals - be they in institutional care facilities or involved in community-based care.

Summary
Aged care workers often find themselves in positions where they need to think on their feet and deal with conflict effectively. Relationships with residents or clients, their families and carers, other health professionals and managers of aged care services can require delicate balancing. Through various dramatised scenarios, this programme looks at a range of typical situations in an aged care environment where conflict between people occurs. In each case, several potential responses to the situation are examined and conclusions drawn about the most effective and appropriate ways to deal with them. Scenarios include conflict between aged care staff and relatives, conflict between peers, conflict between aged care staff and doctors, and conflict between aged care staff and the administration of a facility. This programme is an excellent learning resource for nurses, and students undertaking courses related to working in other roles in the aged care industry. It also serves as an engaging professional development aid for staff of aged care facilities.

Summary
Like residents of most countries around the world, many Australians experience unequal opportunities to access even the most basic health treatments. The larger portion of our population can take for granted that when they are ill some of the finest treatments in the world are immediately available. Yet for many others their access is restricted or prohibited. This programme provides three case studies of Australian organisations: Sacred Heart Mission, Bendigo Community Health Services and Inner South Community Health Services, who have all developed innovative programmes to help minimise the impacts of health inequalities.

Summary
Conflict, it occurs in any workplace, and always needs to be carefully managed. In many ways, there is a greater potential for conflict to occur in an aged care environment than in a number of other workplaces. Relationships with residents or clients, their families and carers, other health professionals and managers of aged care services can require delicate balancing. There is generally a range of emotions and issues involved in the care of vulnerable people, and aged care workers often find themselves in positions where they need to think on their feet and deal with conflict effectively. A range of skills needed for conflict resolution are examined, and the programme finishes with a look at behaviours that elicit resistance, and those that elicit cooperation.
