3rd March: The commercial benefits of eLearning
We operate an online training platform because over 40% of every dollar spent on training goes towards travel costs. Specialised resources are difficult to find outside of the main centres of New Zealand and Australia. Find out why this new way of learning can help you decrease your operations budget with examples from the NZ aged care sector and abroad.
10th March: How to enhance health via singing in the hospital and rest home
Within the retirement village singing enhances residents health for common issues such as dimentia, asthma, stoke, and Parkinson's. Seniors can find it hard to sing along to the music they used to listen to regularly and entertainers sing in their own tone and pitch, which means they sing less, missing out on the health benefits of singing. Find out the basics about how to enhance health via singing & the pitfalls.
"Singing for Seniors has shown us how beneficial music can be especially at our age!"
