2024.1 Placement Process, EOI GPiT Wellbeing Committee

Your RACGP update - 31 July 2023

Expressions of Interest - Be a part of the new RACGP GP in Training wellbeing committee

The RACGP believes that all GP trainees should be well supported professionally and in their personal welfare by the college as they train to achieve their full potential as GPs. And so that they may provide the highest quality of care to their patients. The safety and wellbeing of GPiT is crucially important.

The GP in training (GPiT) wellbeing committee is newly established, with the objective of supporting the safety and wellbeing of GPiT, and we are inviting you to express your interest in becoming a part of it.

Watch out for your personal email invitation to assist in informing priorities of the safety and wellbeing of GPiT and ensuring a focus on issues such as racism, bullying and harassment are part of the conversation.

The committee will be composed of RACGP GPs in training, supervisors and RACGP staff which will (as a whole) represent the depth and breadth of GP training (location, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people, training pathway, ADF).

Expressions of Interest close – Monday 21 August 2023

First Committee meeting – 3rd week of September 2023

Watch your inbox for the invitation to express your interest in joining the GPiT wellbeing committee.

The 2023 AGPT National Registrar Survey is now open

Many of you are aware that the AGPT National Registrar Survey is one method the Australian Government uses to support the continuous improvement in the training of doctors in the AGPT program.

The findings of the survey are used by the Department of Health and Colleges to review and improve the administration, education and training and support in the AGPT program, with a National Report is released publicly while each College receives a report that provides detailed analysis comparing the national results with their individual results to assist with improving education and training.

The survey asks questions regarding employment models, salary and entitlements and will be open until 18 August 2023.

An email from the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), will have been sent directly to the registrar's inbox and contains a unique link for them to compete the survey. All data and reports are anonymised when passed onto the Australian government and Colleges.

So, what action do you need to take ?

please share the importance of the NRS to all Registrars- encourage them to complete the survey
And encourage the promotion of the importance to the training community, Supervisors and Practice Managers, who can also encourage the registrars to complete the survey.
