• Men’s Health Sessions Program — With the help of Maureen Ryland (Alpine Health) the Shed has arranged for professional health personnel to talk on relevant health issues every two months starting this Friday. The talk will following the sit-down BBQ. Sessions will be conducted for 30 minutes (including questions & answers).

The topic — Palliative Care Awareness and will be presented by the highly qualified Maureen Hardidge (RN, RM, Graduate Diploma & Masters Palliative Care, MCNA). The mention of Palliative Care to a person who is unwell usually invokes a feeling of panic or distress for them and their family. This is commonly due to a misguided community perception of the philosophy and role of Palliative Care in a persons disease trajectory. Palliative Care does not always mean death is imminent, although it has to be acknowledged that late involvement does at times mean that death follows closely to the referral for Palliative Care being made.

The purpose of the discussion on Friday is to try to demystify Palliative Care and explain its role and benefits.

3. Shed Rules & Policies — Members are reminded of the rules and policies that the Shed has adopted – these are set out in the  yellow covered Induction Manual which all members have received. It is also available on the Shed website. The committee wishes to draw members attention for the need to be considerate of other members working in the Shed or who intend to work in the Shed (say) the next day. Please consider: cleaning up your work area (Shed doesn’t employ cleaners ), putting away tools used, moving (storing) your project so others can use the bench space, if the task has excessive noise then maybe work outside if weather and job are appropriate, using protective gear e.g. earmuffs, googles/full face protection and hand protection as appropriate (a Shed Health & Safety requirement). The Shed has a policy that requires members to be assessed (by a Workshop Panel member) in the use of tools and equipment.
