Dean's Foreword

On behalf of the staff of the Faculty of Health ScIences It Is my pleasure to warmly welcome new and returning students. and to say a little about the Faculty. its phUosophy and Its programs.

The Faculty of Health Sciences offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs which prepare professionals to work as health practitioners in hospitals, Industries and community agencies. and most Importantly as contributors to multlprofesstonal teams.

In Australia and the world today, health Is no longer perceived as absence of tllness or disease. Rather, it Is a positive concept which emphasises a state of complete phYSical. mental and social wellbeing. It Is viewed as a resource for living. a means to an improved quality of life. This means less sickness and dlsablltty. bappler famUy and socIal relationshIps. choices for Individuals In work and leisure activities. participation of citizens in the fannulation and ImplementaUon of health pol!cles. and affordable and available health care for the whole community. TakIng lessons from human ecology. the focus ofhea1th practitioners is now on the person in hts/hertotal environment. This necessarlly involves liaison well beyond the boundaries of traditional health care institutions and community health centres. and calls for cooperation between health and other public sector seIVices. and between these services and the private sector. The built environment. the air we breathe, the water we drink. the food we eat. the pace at which we live. the conditions in which we work. live and play, and the people with whom we have contact all have an impact upon health and are the concern of health professionals today.

It should be no surprise, then, to see all ofthe above Incorporated in one fashton or another tnto the coursework of each of our undergraduate and postgrad~ate programs.

OUT concern at the undergraduate level Is to develop competent beginning practitioners (eg. radiographers. occupational therapiSts. consumer scientists. nutritionists and dietitians). who are secure In their unique professional role. but who endorse the broadest view of health and know how to work productively as members of multiprofesstonal teams. Substantial practical experience In the

real world of hospitals and community facilities complements the academic components of each program and you are encouraged to Identify your own learning needs and to develop your own learning skills through what we call a problem-based approach.

In addition to "clinical" and "fieldwork" skills. you will also develop an appreciation of research and know how to critically review the research literature relevant toyour profession. This Is ofvttallmportance In view of our need to be accountable for what we do, how we do it. and the outcome which we obtain.

At the postgraduate level it Is our aim to Inspire qualified and experienced practitioners to become the innovators and change agents In the health system and to work energetically towards the achievement of the World Health Organisation goal of "Health For All". As postgraduate students you are encouraged to adopt a partnership approach with the staff of the Faculty; this we believe is the best way to help you to tapyourreservotrof experlence and to apply it to your chosen area of spectallsation (be it rehabilitation counsell!ng. clinical drug dependence studies. prlmary health care or health services management) and research In this field.

Ifthts Isyour first year at university. doubtless many questions will cross your mind in relation to the program In which you are enrolled. These may relate to options upon graduation. your personal response (for whatever reason) to some aspect of your studies. study patterns and skills, assessment techniques or

other nitty grttties of survival. No matter the nature of the questions or the dilemmas which you find yourself facing. I wish to assure you that there Is always someone who wlllltsten and help you find your own answer or solution. Lecturers. Administrative Staff. Subject Co-ordinators, Course Co-ordlnators, HeadsofDepartments/Dlv!sions and the Dean of the Faculty are all prepared to help: but, first of all it is up to you to flag your need.

I wish you well for 1994 and I look forward to meeting you as you partlclpate In a range of Faculty activttes.

The Graduate Diploma tn Health Science Is a postgraduate program which follows a pattern of common core studies plus professional speclaltsations. The course will be offered on a part -time basis over two years and. subject todemand. may be offered full-time over one year. The Graduate Diploma Is based on an educational philosophy which advocates a focus on tllness prevention and health promotion In the curricula of all health professionals. The common core addresses the need for health profeSSionals and those from related discipl1nes


to have access to studies which emphasise equally the problems of social risk Imposltlon and Individual risk taking. and commensurately health protection and prevention approaches. Additionally the core emphasises education for multidisclpUmuy problem solving. clear specification of intended outcomes and the respective contribution of the different profeSSions.

In order to adequately understand the whole health context and to work effectively within it. health profeSSionals also need an appreciation of the structure and functions of the organisations. authorities and other components which make up the health care system at national. state and local levels. It follows that health professionals also require skin In designing studies to collect data which will tnfonn health service provision, and In analysing and Interpreting this data. Students will specialise in one of the three areas of study.

Prlmuy Health Care

Primary Health Care addresses the fundamental aspects of good health for Individuals and populations In society and is founded upon the philosophies of Health Care Incorporated in the World Health Organisation Charters of Alma Ata (1978), Ottawa (1986) and Liverpool (1988).

It Is Informed by a definition of health which emphasises quality of life within a human ecology framework. It focuses on holtstic health issues and on policies concerning social changes which can alter behaviour patterns to Improve health. The impact of health on pollctes and actions outside the health sector and how Individuals and communities can be encouraged to alter their lifestyles to improve their own health is also addressed.

It examines the need forsoctaljusticeas a prerequisite for optimum health care, the strengthening of community power. the development of skills of mediation and advocacy and the creation of supportive. stable. clean environments for health.

Primary Health Care includes such considerations as communication patterns within society. the provision of community Infrastructures, government policy formulation almedatoptlmlslng public health care. and local council provision of health oriented seIVices.

In addition to the health sector, it addresses those concerned with food, industry. education, housing. town and city planning. public works. government

Section SI. Approved Subjects -Postgraduate Program

structures and communications. examining their function and tnterrelatlonships.

It requires and promotes maximum community and tndlvldual self reliance and participation In the planning, organisation, operation and control of health care, making fullest useoflocal, national and other available resources; and to this end develops through appropriate education the ability of communtties to participate.

It needs to be sustained by Integrated. functional and mutually supportive referral systems. leading to the progressive improvement of comprehensive health care for all, and giving priority to those most In need.

The Graduate Diploma In Health Science (Primal)' Health Care) consists of not only the spectflc subjects of the Prtnciplesand Practice ofPrtmary Health Care but also Health Ecology, the Health Care System, Health Research Design and Problem Solving Strategies In Health.

Areas covered within the course include; the Australian Health care system, the politlcsofhealth, assessment of health needs and design and development of programs to meet those needs, community participation and development health promotion, multldisclplinaryand Intersectoral health care team functioning and the development of effective Interpersonal skills for PrImaI)' Health care,

In addition the course covers applied research and evaluation skills in PrImary Health Care.

Those people working In primal)' health care might Include health surveyors, health promotion personnel. doctors, nurses, dental health therapiSts, the police, public housing authorities, public health authorities. geographers. welfare workers. family and community health workers, refuge workers. members of local. health authorities, community midwives, and hospital based health services.

The acquisition of diagnostic Imaging and radiotherapeutic treatment skills are developed through the application of such theoretical components such as physics. radiation biology and protection. instrumentation. human anatomy and physiology and MRT compu ting.

Bastc radiodiagnostlc. radiotherapeutic and nuclear medIcine skills are enhanced by Integrating the theoretical components with specific studies In the appendicular skeleton and the viscera. culminating in a knowledge appropriate for diagnostic radiography. nuc1earmedJcineandradiotherapeutic positioning.

Laboratory and tutorial sessions are incorporated to allow the student to develop and reinforce clinical presentations In a stmulated clinical enVironment in preparation for clinical contact.

By atta1n1ng a knowledge of surface anatomy and rudimentary diagnostic imaging or treatment techniques students will be able to producediagnostic images or perform a range of radiotherapeutic procedures such as simulation. treatment and moulding.

The topics covered In MRTC 104 are dlvlded Into units based principally on the strands. Thlsapproach provides the student with a fundamental knowledge of those concepts common to all three strands tn MRT prior to developing strand specific knowledge and skills in the latter part of the first semester and in the second semester.

StrategiC planning and marketing Is more effective when it Is based on an understanding of how consumers decide which goods and services best fill their needs. Thus marketeers should understand how each Individual's personality, lifestyle (psychographlcs). attitudes and perceptions are detennined; and how they affect the consumer's decisions. These Issues are covered In this course which integrates marketing prlnclples and consumer actions.

A second important area covered Is the effect of society and culture on the decision making process of the consumer. Factors such as reference groups. thefu.mlly. socialclassandculturewlllbeconsidered.

Finally the consumer's decision-making process will be analysed. Understanding this process Is of utmost importance when deciding how to Introduce new goods to the market.
