Episode 25 - Andrew Cashin

Professor Andrew Cashin

This week on TEL we spoke to Andrew Cashin. Andrew is Professor of Autism and Intellectual Disability at Southern Cross University. Andrew also conducts a Nurse Practitioner clinic for people with autism, their families and those that work with people with autism at the Southern Cross University Health Centre. 

In this week’s podcast Andrew talks about the Every Nurse’s Business learning site he has developed with Associate Professor Nathan Wilson from Western Sydney University. Every Nurse’s Business is is a free site aimed at Australian Registered Nurses to help build nursing capacity to address the healthcare needs of people with intellectual disability (ID) and/or autism (ASD) in mainstream health settings.

We discuss the benefits of undertaking the course and how it can impact care for people with intellectual disability and/or autism presenting to the emergency department setting.

We would encourage you to take advantage of the site, earn some CPD hours, and potentially get credit towards your postgraduate course while improving how you provide emergency care to people with an ID or ASD. Oh, and did we mention it's free!
