BC & Yukon < Back Rochelle De Clerk BScN, NSWOC BC & Yukon Rochelle De Clerk's love for wound care began in nursing school at Trent University in Ontario. It was during her 2nd year practicum that she realized wound care really interested her. Rochelle moved to BC during her 4th year of nursing and began her career as a Registered Nurse in Richmond Hospital in 2009. She has worked in a few different fields of nursing including Cardiac, Medical, and Surgical. Her passion for wound care really began when she became a Community Care Nurse in Salmon Arm, B.C. in 2012. Rochelle was lucky enough to have wonderful NSWOC nurses to mentor and guide her for approximately 8 years. She enrolled in the NSWOC program in 2017 and accepted a position at Vernon Jubilee Hospital as the Acute Care NSWOC in 2018, where she is still currently employed. She has been a member of the Provincial Skin and Wound Committee in B.C. for the past 3 years and truly enjoys learning from her experienced colleagues and also bringing her own knowledge to the group. As the Regional Director for B.C. and Yukon, Rochelle is able to promote change in practice using evidence-based research, monitor and improve cost for therapy and products, and improve the quality of patient care. Her involvement with the Provincial Skin and Wound Committee has allowed her to be involved in the creation of guidelines, procedures, and product information sheets, which directly help the frontline nurses, and other allied health professions, as well as NSWOC nurses. This direct involvement has also taught her how policies and procedures are created and developed, which is a valuable skill to have as a Regional Director for NSWOCC. Current

Prevention and Management of Skin Damage Related to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Access the PPE Toolkit The use of PPE has had a dramatic increase since the onset on COVID-19. NSWOCC is providing an evidence summary for the prevention and management of PPE skin related skin injuries called Prevention & Management of Skin Damage Related to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The tool kit contains the following information: Best practice recommendation document Quick Reference Enabler Educational video (temporarily unavailable) Teaching powerpoint This PPE Tool Kit is intended to highlight the emerging concern of PPE-related skin injury and to provide prevention and management solutions for potential PPE related skin injury. Individuals may require a repeat mask fit testing to ensure prevention and management efforts do not interfere with PPE efficacy. Please note that it is the responsibility of each healthcare professional to verify with their institutional infection control team that any measure taken to prevent or manage PPE-related skin injuries do not interfere with the efficacy of the PPE nor are in contravention to any workplace policy.

Quebec < Back Audray Lafortune Bsc., infirmière clinicienne, stomothérapeute, PSCC(C) Quebec Je m’appelle Audray Lafortune. Je suis infirmière depuis 2010 et stomothérapeute depuis 2018. J’ai commencé ma carrière dans les soins aigus en cardiologie et pneumologie, avant de faire la transition vers les soins à domicile. Ma passion pour les plaies s’est développée aux soins à domicile. Suite à un changement d’employeur, j’ai eu la chance de remplacer la stomothérapeute pendant un congé maladie. J’ai été agréablement surprise des compétences, des défis et de l’autonomie que ce domaine pouvait m’offrir. Que dire des stomies, j’ai appris que ce domaine, si peu connu du restant des infirmières, était mon chouchou! J’ai été chanceuse d’avoir un poste dans l’équipe de stomothérapie en 2016, ce qui m’a poussé d’aller faire mon cours. À la fin de mon cours, ma collègue et moi, nous nous sommes données le défi d’aller chercher notre certification canadienne. Mon hôpital est un centre régional d’environ 300 lits de soins aigus et 200 lits d’hébergement, en plus d’une clinique ambulatoire de plaies et stomie. Ma pratique est seulement en plaies et en stomie. Nous avons de très bonnes relations avec une variété de spécialistes, ce qui nous permet d’avoir une clientèle très diversifiée malgré notre statut de centre régional. Je suis déjà impliquée dans mon association provinciale en tant que trésorière et j’ai eu la chance d’être préceptrice à quelques reprises. Je suis parfaitement bilingue et je crois que nous devons avoir une représentation forte de chaque région pour bien exposer les réalités vécues sur le terrain. J’espère apporter de nouvelles idées et je crois que nous devons travailler davantage sur la transmission de l’expertise aux nouvelles stomothérapeutes considérant le manque de soutien et de personnel dans les équipes sur le terrain. My name is Audray Lafortune. I’ve been an RN since 2010 and a NSWOC since 2018. I started my career, as many people do, working in the hospital on various medical floors. It was the switch to home care that led me to discover my interest in wound care. A switch in employment, landed me a remplacement on the NSWOC team and from there I discovered a passion. For many the work of the NSWOC team is mostly unknown, but I discovered a field of great autonomy, highly competent nurses and daily challenges to make patients' lives better. Thankfully, I was able to have a part-time position with the promise of doing the institute's WOC program. Upon completion, my colleague and I decided, as a challenge, to get our Canadian certification. My hospital is a regional hospital with 300 acute care beds and 200 long term care beds. We also have an ambulatory clinic for wound and ostomy care. We have a great working relationship with multiple specialists, which means we have a very diversified clientele. I am already a member of the executive committee of my provincial association, but I would like to be more involved with the national association. I am perfectly bilingual and am open-minded, making me an ideal candidate. I believe a strong regional representation within the national association is fundamental to understand and represent the similarities and differences in each region of the country. I also hope to promote the transfer of NSWOC expertise to the next generation of NSWOCs in a difficult health care system where there is little mentoring and a lot of staff shortages.

Virtual Care Toolkit Download now Introduction In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes to the personal and work lives of all Canadian health care professionals. The only option for many Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy, and Continence (NSWOCs) to continue to provide support and direction to clients with wounds, ostomies, and continence challenges was through virtual care. Most NSWOCs and many health care organizations / employers lacked experience in this method of providing care; furthermore, systems to support both the client and the health care professionals were not in place. Canadian NSWOCs developed a way to support their clients. We learned a lot individually and collectively, from protecting client privacy and information to gathering pertinent data without seeing a client in person. In the fall of 2022, a group of NSWOCs interested in virtual care came together to develop this toolkit to assist Canadian NSWOCs to safely provide virtual care in their practices. No longer are NSWOCs required to figure it out as they go, as many had done in 2020. The NSWOCC Virtual Care Toolkit is divided into five sections: Legal and Regulatory Considerations, Technology, Equity-Oriented Care, Delivery of Virtual Care, and Knowledge Transfer. Within each section, considerations for virtual care are highlighted, and suggestions for addressing these concerns are included. Much of the available literature in the realm of virtual care relates to wound care. The advice offered here for ostomy and continence virtual care is largely the expert opinion of the task force. We have chosen to use the term client throughout meaning a “recipient of care: in the community-client, in residential care-resident, and in acute care-patient.” Read More Quick response (QR) codes have been included in this document to aid you in accessing additional resources.
