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.
