online Q&amp;A notice board for interaction with MERTIL clinical trainers.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #00ccff\"><strong>Face to face skills training<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Once MCHNs have completed the online modules, they will be able to register for a full-day skills training workshops, delivered in metropolitan and regional locations across August-September 2018. Workshop content will include: effective trauma based conversations, using video and demonstration to illustrate key points, with supported practice of clinical skills, individual planning for next steps in implementing trauma focused practices, and guides to using MERTIL for expanded learning and consolidation.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #00ccff\"><strong>Follow up Case Consultation Webinars<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Following the workshops, two x 2 hour webinars will be given, to allow for discussion of cases. These will be facilitated by Professors Newman and McIntosh. We will invite two practitioners to present complex trauma cases for consultation. The webinar will be open to all nurses.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #00ccff\"><strong>MERTIL evaluation\u00a0and research<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>A learning outcomes evaluation will be embedded into the MERTIL platform, to track learner outcomes. A wider independent evaluation will study\u00a0practitioner confidence in utilising MERTIL learning, practice change, outstanding needs and implications for policy and practice. Focus groups will also occur over the program, to enrich the evaluation. Two qualitative studies will be completed by Deakin University late in 2018 with a sample of\u00a0nurses and parents, to gauge subjective experiences of trauma informed conversations, and outcomes for all concerned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Early Relational Trauma Informed Learning (MERTIL) Maternal Child Health Nurse Informed Learning platform &nbsp;
