In Practice: Consultation on registration and accreditation scheme
The RACGP is seeking member feedback on the processes underpinning complaints or notifications about registered health practitioners.
The RACGP is seeking member feedback to inform its submission to the independent review of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme.
This week’s In Practice also includes a reminder for early bird registrations still open for the GP24 conference in Perth, on Whadjuk Noongar Country, 21–23 November.
Member survey: Health practitioner complaints/notifications processes
An independent review of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) has started. The review will look for complex or unnecessary processes within the NRAS, with the aim of improving regulatory outcomes and keeping Australians safe by providing high-quality healthcare.
The first consultation paper from the independent review has been released, and the RACGP’s advocacy team will be working with various groups across the college to develop a submission in response to the paper.
The advocacy team is seeking member feedback on the processes underpinning complaints or notifications about registered health practitioners to inform its submission. A member survey has been set up to collect feedback, which can be accessed via the RACGP website (login required).
Responses will close at 9.00 am on Monday 30 September. Any questions can be sent to healthreform@racgp.org.au
