President’s report Sharmaine Peterson Welcome to the last edition of the journal for 2010. The Executive is very excited and proud to have had a proposal from CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) to index our journal on their electronic database. CINAHL is based in Glendale, California, and is a comprehensive resource for nursing literature, providing indexes for over 3000 journals and 500 titles in full text. This will provide greater exposure to the journal and authors worldwide. Future articles for publication will, therefore, need to have an abstract or summary as well as a list of cited references. Royal District Nursing Service (Victoria) has requested a link to the AASTN website. They have recently translated our patient handout brochure to several different languages including Greek, Italian, Vietnamese, Chinese and other languages. STNs and ostomates will be able to access them via this link. It is planned that the minutes of the Executive meetings, Treasurer’s report and Membership Coordinator’s report will also be on the website. I recently attended the SA Ileostomy Association AGM, and gave a talk on the WCET/WCON Congress. I also showed some slides of The future of post-operative care is clear to see... because the post-op dressing that you put on your patient should be the only thing they acquire before they go home OPSITE Post-Op Visible is the latest development in post-op film dressings, helping to reduce the incidence of infection caused by early and frequent removal. the Convention Centre, delegates, costumes and the promotional video for the 2012 WCET Conference. One of the volunteers, Val Masey, attended the ACSA AGM and discussed some of the presentations. One of interest to the ostomates and myself, was given by a nutritionist, Margaret Allen, an ostomate herself. She works at Northcote Integrated Health in Victoria and is able to provide practical advice and support to ostomates concerning diet and wellbeing. Ostomates and STNs can contact her via email on Margaret@foodfirst.com.au or info@foodfirst.com.au Another interesting fact from ACSA – if all volunteers who give their time at all Australian Ostomy Associations were paid, it would cost $43 billion!!! The Stoma Appliance Scheme review has been completed; however, due to the recent election, no further information has become available. At the WCET/WCON Congress, Elizabeth English retired as President of the WCET. Elizabeth is employed at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and is a dedicated and passionate STN. She has worked tirelessly for the WCET as Chair of the Education committee for six years; Vice-President for four years and President for four years. She has travelled to China, the Philippines, Iran and Indonesia teaching nurses about stoma and wound care. At present she is liaising with the WCET, companies and the SA Committee which is organising the 2012 WCET Conference. Well done Liz. I would also like to congratulate this years scholarship winners: Elinor Kyte (Convatec) research scholarship – Ian Whitely; AASTN Travel Grant – Diana Hayes; CSSANZ (to attend conference) – Kara Torney. I wish you all a safe and happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.
