Training documents are now available in the TMS!

The Forms, Documents and Links function on the Training Management System (TMS) is now active. Located in the top toolbar of the TMS (next to the Quick Links and Subscriptions button), the Forms Documents and Links button navigates you to a search engine in the TMS. We encourage you to jump in and have a look, using the search bar.  

You’ll find AGPT training information and forms using this function, rather than through the RACGP website. We’ve focused on uploading the most accessed content which is available now, and we’ll add documents to this on a regular basis. The latest document versions will be available through Forms Documents and Links, so we recommend using this source rather than a saved file which may be out of date. 

See our short video showing how to use Forms, Documents and Links 
 
Can’t find what you’re looking for?  
Please reach out to your training coordinator, the document may not be available on the TMS yet or you may need to have a prior step (such as a conversation or meeting specific criteria) before you can access a form. 

Updated AGPT practice and supervisor handbook available now

The practice and supervisor handbook has been updated to include the changes to supervisor requirements in 2024. Access the new version on our website.

WBA update: supervisor run mini-clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) and random case analysis (RCA)

The mini-CEX and RCA assessment forms are now available to download in the TMS under Forms, Documents and Links. 

These new assessments are conducted by the supervisors of GPT1 and GPT2 registrars. Each GPT1 and GPT2 registrar is required to complete two mini-CEX and two RCAs throughout the term. Copies of the assessment should be retained by the practice. If significant concerns (an amber or red flag) are raised during the assessment, the completed forms should be sent to your local medical education team so they can contact you to provide further assistance.

Every Doctor, Every Setting: A National Framework to support your health and wellbeing

We've signed up to the Every Doctor, Every Setting National Framework which positions the mental health and wellbeing of the medical profession as a national priority. The National Framework is based on available evidence and advice from doctors, doctors-in-training, medical students, mental health and suicide prevention experts and other key stakeholders.

Signing up for the Framework was one of the key actions from the GP in Training Wellbeing Committee, established in late 2023.  

“Having the RACGP sign up to the Framework is an important step for the College to be leaders in the mental health and wellbeing of doctors in training” says Dr Vanessa Moran, Chair of the GP in Training Wellbeing Committee and National Deputy Director of Training. 

“The Committee was encouraged by the 2023 National Training Survey results which put GP trainee's perceptions about wellbeing in a better position than the national average. However, we still have a long way to go to improve racism, bullying and harassment in GP Training, which in turn will improve registrar wellbeing,” Vanessa said. 

The Wellbeing Committee has been working on prioritising recommendations for the GP training teams which align with the Framework and registrars, supervisors and practices will see developments in this space in 2024 and beyond.
