CKW Advance Care Planner Desre Arnold at Dayboro recently.<\/p><\/div>\n

Men\u2019s health was the key focus of an event at Dayboro recently, which included a presentation from Caboolture and Kilcoy Hospitals Advance Care Planner Desre Arnold.<\/h4>\n

Advance care planning ensures loved ones and doctors know a patient\u2019s health and personal preferences should they not be capable of speaking for themselves. It ensures the treatment that patients receive is in line with their values and wishes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event was run by the Dayboro men\u2019s shed team with a strong focus on men\u2019s health,\u201d Desre said.<\/p>\n

\"Men\u2019s<\/a>\u201cI set up a booth and spoke to many men from across south-east Queensland, followed by a more detailed workshop in the afternoon for about 20 people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Event organiser Rod Edwards from Dayboro Men\u2019s Shed said feedback on Desre\u2019s presentation had has been wonderful.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndividuals from the Dayboro and other sheds were talking about how valuable your information was,\u201d Rod told Desre via email.<\/p>\n

\u201cI attended your workshop and will be taking action for my wife and I on this important issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Desre also recently presented at the Queensland Justices Association Caboolture Branch senior safety event at Sports Central Caboolture, which also included representatives from Crimestoppers, cyber security and retirement living options.<\/p>\n

She is happy to speak with inpatients and regularly visits people at their home to help them work through the complexities of advance care planning.<\/p>\n
