2024.1 Placement Process – Registrar placement confirmation survey – Opening Soon

All registrars are asked to log into the TMS to complete the registrar placement confirmation survey. The placement confirmation survey is an important step in your training journey. It informs us of your training intentions for the following term and is the first step in the placement process if you are planning a general practice term in 2024.1. The Registrar placement confirmation survey opens in the TMS on Tuesday 26th September and closes on Tuesday 3rd October 2023, giving you a week to complete the details required.  

The survey will ask: 

• if you want to train full time or part time 

• what training term you will be entering (i.e., hospital, GPT1/2/3, extended skills, leave, ARST etc) 

• if there is a transfer in place 

Please prioritise the completion of the survey once it is open as delays in the completion of the survey may impact on your ability to apply to training practices.  

Workplace Based Assessment – Multi Source Feedback (MSF)

All GPT2 registrars will need to complete their Multi Source Feedback (MSF) assessment in 2023.2 as part of the RACGP workplace-based assessment (WBA) program.  

The intention of the MSF is to allow registrars to gain feedback from peers, patients and colleagues to provide unique and varied views on their performance. Registrars will receive a comprehensive report at the completion of the MSF and will also need to complete a self-reflective exercise. 

The MSF is scheduled during GPT2 as it allows time for registrars to settle into the GP setting and build the relationships needed to complete the MSF. It is the only WBA that collates holistic feedback from a registrar’s key stakeholders.  

Start date for GPT2 registrars: Monday 11 September 2023  

• Self-reflective exercise due 3 weeks after report is received. 

All surveys completed and submitted by: 14 January 2024 

Resources 

• WBA Assessor Handbook 

• gplearning module- Multi-source Feedback for AGPT and FSP Educators (accessed via gplearning 2023)
