Support your registrars to complete Registrar Clinical Encounters in Training (ReCEnT)

If your registrars are required to complete ReCEnT in 2024.2 they will have received an email from ReCEnT online, including instructions to complete their encounter forms and the due date. Please see the details of participating regions below:  

At the completion of the ReCEnT, an analysis of the 60 consultations is compiled in a feedback report. Please reflect on the report’s findings with your registrar and use the results to inform their learning plan, identifying any areas of practice they may need to change or improve. 

For further information on the ReCEnT project please visit our website.

Our new payment screens are now live!

We’ve heard your feedback and have made changes to make your national consistent payment (NCP) information in the training management system (TMS) easier to read. 

If you use the Practice Payments page, you’ll see some new information below the name of your practice to indicate the total of all payment schedules and the total amount you have been paid for all registrars at your practice for the semester. In the payments tables, we have added an adjustments column so that you can more easily see if overpayments have been applied to any of your payments, and totals for all columns. Also, if there are multiple placements for a registrar, all payments are now shown in a single table so that your overall payment information can be more easily reviewed. 

If you receive supervisor payments directly, you will see that similar changes have also been made on your Supervisor Payments page. 

Please contact your training coordinator if you need any guidance. 

Registrars as teachers – findings from the GP training research team

The GP Training Research Team has recently completed an Education Research Grant project titled Australian GP registrars as teachers: A qualitative study. This project interviewed GP registrars, supervisors, medical educators and medical students about their experiences with registrars in teaching roles.  

The findings suggest that registrar teaching is a valuable skill with transferability to clinical work and patient care, however, more support is needed to facilitate registrars as teachers on a larger scale. These findings may be of interest to supervisors and can be considered when supporting registrars during their training.
