SUMMARY:National PD Event: Stepping towards Physical Activity
DESCRIPTION:SA Branch invites you to join them for this National PD event.\
 n\n\n\nTitle: Emergency nurses’ physical activity levels at work and dur
 ing leisure time.\n\nSummary: This presentation will provide a summary of
  the Physical Activity in Emergency Departments (PACED) Study\, which aime
 d to understand emergency nurses’ physical activity levels at work and d
 uring their leisure time. It will highlight the importance of investigatin
 g occupational physical activity\, especially within physically demanding 
 occupations. It will also highlight the need for research to acknowledge t
 he interplay between occupational and leisure time physical activity level
 s\, especially when determining the need for physical activity interventio
 ns within workplaces.\n\nBio: Dr Stephanie Chappel is a Postdoctoral Rese
 arch Fellow at CQUniversity. Her research is focused on identifying workpl
 ace physical activity levels\, but also the importance of considering the 
 interplay between work and leisure time activity. She has conducted resear
 ch with firefighters\, nurses\, and now the rail industry. She also has be
 en involved in physical activity research in children\, adolescents\, and 
 adults. In 2020\, Dr Chappel was shortlisted for the Best Paper Award in E
 rgonomics for her paper ‘The accumulation of\, and associations between\
 , nurses’ activity levels within their shift in the emergency department
 ’\n\n\n\n\n[caption id="attachment_3602" align="alignleft" width="230"]

 ctivity: can technology help rather than hinder\n\nSummary: Current natio
 nal policy on children’s use of technology is conflicting\, with health 
 policy viewing screen time as a toxin to which exposure needs to be minimi
 sed and education policy viewing digital literacy as essential to educatio
 n and future productive work capacity. This presentation examines the pote
 ntial risks to health\, but also the potential for using technology to enc
 ourage physical activity.\n\nBio: Leon Straker is John Curtin Distinguis
 hed Professor in the School of Allied Health and Curtin University. He has
  been working in the area of human factors/ergonomics since the WA RSI Tas
 kforce in 1984. He has published over 300 peer-reviewed papers and been aw
 arded over $50M in research funding. He is ranked #3 in Australia and #63 
 globally in Human Factors research. He has received national and internati
 onal awards for his contribution to ergonomics theory and practice.\n\n\nT
 itle: Every Step Counts:  Understanding the success of implementing the 
 10\,000 Steps project\n\nSummary: This year the 10\,000 Steps program wil
 l celebrate its 20th year. During that time the program has supported nea
 rly 500\,000 individuals and 16\,000 workplaces to become more active. Col
 lectively our members have logged 260 billion steps (about 40 million a da
 y) on our website and app. This presentation will explain what the 10\,000
  Steps program is\, what it has achieved so far and why the roll out of th
 e 10\,000 Steps program has been successful.\n\nBio: Prof Corneel Vande
 lanotte leads the Physical Activity Research Group and the 10\,000 Steps P
 rogram at CQUniversity. His research has a population-based approach to he
 alth behaviour change and is focused on the development and evaluation of 
 innovative technology-based (web\, app\, tracker\,…) physical activity i
 nterventions. Prof Vandelanotte has published over 200 peer-reviewed journ
 al publications and secured research funding from the NHMRC\, ARC and NHF.
 \n\n\n\nThis PD event will be delivered via Zoom.\nTime: 5:00pm – 6:30 
 pm ACST\nCost: Free for members\, $30 for non-members\nRegistration is req
 uired. Details of how to attend the event will be sent to you once you ha
