Summary
Delivering palliative care can be both hugely rewarding and, at times, very stressful. It is likely that all health workers will be involved in caring for a dying person at some time. Nurses need to be able to manage their own stress to deliver a good standard of care to their patients. This programme provides an introduction to to palliative care stress management. We define stress, and discuss the differences between personal and work-related stress, and discuss the signs of stress-related burnout. This programme will equip viewers with the tools and strategies required to manage stress in palliative care more effectively.

Summary
The joys of life do not have to stop with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's... This award winning video provides an ideal (and reproducible) model of care for adult day programs that better the lives of persons with Alzheimer's and provide the necessary respite for their family caregivers. Through an upbeat willingness to engage the person with dementia where they are, this video shows the powerful benefits of stimulating, connecting with, and embracing the person's creative spirit through music, dance, art, quilting, holistic 'move and stretch' exercises, and other forms of self-expression. An inspiring testament to how much persons with dementia can still contribute and share with others, the video will give family caregivers hope, and encourage the highest and best quality of life for persons in various stages of dementia.

Summary
This programme explores a range of areas relating to caring for frail and immobile people. Its thrust is largely about encouraging older people to use their existing capacities to the maximum extent, in order to remain as physically and mentally active as possible. Areas examined in the programme include ageing gracefully, the physiological changes that occur with ageing, common pathologies relating to older people, and creating a physical activity program. Expert comments from Professor Peter Hunter, Director of Aged Care and Rehabilitation with Alfred Health and Caulfield Hospital, appear throughout the programme. This programme is an excellent learning resource for students undertaking certificated or degree courses in areas such as aged care and nursing. It also serves as a useful professional development resource for health professionals working in any areas that involve interaction with, or care for, older people.
