New South Wales CPD Workshop Day
2 December 2019
Join us at Rydges Sydney Central in New South Wales for two interactive and immersive Workshops by leading experts as well as student presentations on Monday 2 December 2019 from 9:00am - 5:15pm.
Workshop 1 will be presented by Dr Victor Bray and Dr Jonette Owen, and Workshop 2 will be presented by Dr Piers Dawes. This Workshop Day also includes presentations by Masters of Audiology students from Macquarie University.
WORKSHOP 1
Personality Temperaments and Clinician-Patient Interactions presented by Dr Victor Bray and Dr Jonette Owen
Clinician/patient as well as clinician/clinician interactions can be rewarding or frustrating, collegial or confrontational, straight-forward or circular. Why? Sometimes it is not about the objective information on which there may be agreement, but the personality interactions and subjective interpretations among individuals. This workshop will explore how personality can impact patient care and collaborative care. The model used will be the four Keirsey personality temperaments of Artisan (SP, focus on tactics), Guardian (SJ, focus on logistics), Idealists (NF, focus on diplomacy), and Rationals (NT, focus on strategy). In this interactive workshop, participants will self-determine their temperament, be grouped by temperament types and the discussion will continue as the participants assume the role of both clinician and patient within their own types. Exercises will then be conducted across types to demonstrate potential conflicts, resolution barriers, and ways to defuse conflict through understanding of the different temperaments.
Learning Outcomes:
- Classify different personality types into the four Kiersey Temperaments of Artisan, Guardian, Idealist, and Rational
- Recognize the positive and negative aspects of interpersonal interactions that can occur among the four Kiersey Temperaments
- Apply Kiersey Temperament information in clinical situations to improve clinician-patient interactions

WORKSHOP 2
Dementia Awareness for Audiologists Workshop presented by Dr Piers Dawes
Dementia and hearing loss are both prevalent among older adults, and dementia awareness is vital for audiologists who work with older adults. This workshop focuses on the impact, prevalence and types of dementia. The workshop will provide insight into the importance of seeing the whole person rather than the dementia. Audiologists play a vital role in facilitating communication, recognising behaviour as communication, and helping family and clinical team members to have a person centred understanding of behaviour that challenges.Learning Outcomes:
- Awareness of types, characteristics and prevalence of dementia
- Understand the patient perspective; person-centred care
Dr Piers Dawes Macquarie University and University of Manchester
Piers Dawes studied speech and hearing science at Curtin University in Western Australia and holds a doctorate in experimental psychology from Oxford University. He held academic posts at the Universities of York and Manchester and is currently an Associate Professor in Audiology at the Australian Hearing Hub in Sydney. Dr Dawes’s research concerns i) understanding causes and impacts of hearing impairment, particularly in the context of multimorbidity in older age, ii) prevention and treatment of hearing impairment, and iii) hearing service development and evaluation.
Dr Dawes was a recipient of a US-UK Fulbright award and was awarded the British Society of Audiology’ TS Littler prize for services to audiology. Dr Dawes was the founding chair of the British Society of Audiology’s special interest group for cognition in hearing, which promotes research and raising awareness of new developments on cognitive issues in hearing science, assessment and intervention. Dr Dawes is joint PI for “Ears, Eyes and Mind: The “SENSE-Cog Project” to improve mental well-being for elderly Europeans with sensory impairment”, a €6.2 million EU Horizon 2020 project. Dr Dawes was a lead investigator for the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Unit in Hearing and heads a consortium of international researchers (including Nottingham Biomedical Research Unit in Hearing, Leeds University, Wisconsin University, University College London and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Centre) in analyzing hearing and tinnitus data from the UK Biobank resource (N=500,000 UK adults).
