Key Result Area 1 Competent and Confident GP Registrars AOGP’s GP graduates are deemed to be competent and confident GPs against evidence based benchmarks. Key Objective #1 Preparing AOGP GP Registrars to provide safe and effective high quality care as independent GPs. not least the delegated Training Post/ Supervisor accreditation process. Dr Holly Deer and Dr Michael Sobotta ably picked up the Registrar Liaison Officer (RLO) role at the beginning of 2010. Holly is set to continue into 2010 whilst Michael is due to conclude his training at the end of the 2010 education year and will therefore hand over the reins to a new urban RLO incumbent in 2011. Again it is important to acknowledge the enthusiastic and constructive contribution AOGP receives from its Registrars in this role. Ms Deb Docking and Mr Danny Haydon as our Practice Manager Liaison Officers (PMLO) continue to excel in their roles. Most notably their dedication to completing the Business Module was exemplary and this body of work will be appropriately mentioned across the different articles in this Annual Report. To broader strategic matters, in 2010 GPET accepted responsibility for the national management of PGPPP and as part of their early action confirmed AOGP as one of the PGPPP providers for 2011. With this early notification, AOGP invested a significant amount of resource in 2010 - together with its local collaborative partners - to address the challenges that had been set for this area of training as it relates to General Practice. As the national PGPPP numbers increase, AOGP’s ongoing aim has been to ensure PGPPP numbers within South Australia equally increase. The continuing goal is to have the majority of SA intern and prevocational doctors gain their core 8 elements of early training within a primary care environment (ie private General Practice). At this point in time around 50% of these Junior Doctors gain primary care experience across South Australia. The costing work with regards to practicebased teaching, published in 2010 by Dr Caroline Laurence and myself, clearly identified the need for a different approach to funding in the area of medical student teaching. In 2010 Health Workforce Australia (HWA) presented an opportunity to apply for funding to support the increase in growth of clinical placements for health-related primary qualification students, from 2011-2013. In discussions with representative Supervisors and Practice Managers there proved a keen interest in AOGP pursuing this opportunity. On this basis AOGP— in alliance with a network of interested Practices—and in partnership with the University of Adelaide, successfully submitted a proposal to provide additional clinical training places within the AOGP network over the next four years. The disciplines in the application included Medicine, Nursing and Psychology. Whilst at the time of this report financial negotiations are continuing with HWA, it is important to note that through this work good preliminary discussions have been held with all the collaborative parties. In principle agreement is in place by all parties for the conceptual clinical training model submitted a funding proposal has been developed, that if supported, would allow General Practice to sustainably assist in meeting the increased clinical training demands of primary qualification students, in medicine and allied health areas. I would like to conclude this report with a big thanks to all who contribute to strengthening AOGP year on year - most particularly staff, Registrars, Supervisors and Practice Managers. I would also like to thank Peter Joyner as the Chairman, and the AOGP Board Members, who provide management and staff with genuine encouragement, clear guidance and unswerving support. Our collective intent remains to create GPs who are specialists and leaders in primary care across the urban, rural and remote AOGP region. I am confident that as a combined force we are well established to maintain this intent, regardless of the contextual changes that may occur as a consequence of the upcoming health reform agenda. The AOGP Graduates that we celebrate at the end of each year, confirm this view. Ms Linda Black Chief Executive Officer
Management Staff changes Chloe Thomas Reception / Administration Assistant Chloe is the lovely, friendly voice that answers our main phones and we welcome her to the team. Whilst her primary role is reception duties she has quickly become an integral team member and also assists across many administrative areas within the Education and Program Support teams. Caroline Cullen Education Team Coodinator - GP Community-based Training (ETC- GPCT) As the Education Team Coordinator – GP Community-based Training Caroline is responsible for a significant proportion of the operation delivery of AOGP programs. Caroline also has responsibility for the IMG Fellowship Support Program portfolio and together with the other ETCs, is responsible for the supervision of the Education Officers in the Medical Education Team. Dr Christel Burton Medical Educator (ME) - urban Christel is an AOGP alumnus who began as a PGPPP ME and in 2010 transitioned into the broader ME Team. As part of her increased role she has taken on Registrar pastoral care responsibilities, Registrar and Junior Doctor Medical Education Visits (MEVs) as well as the coordination and facilitation of the hospital Registrars’ Registrar Directed Learning ‘RDL’ groups. Dr David Griswood Medical Educator - rural An AOGP alumnus with GP anaesthetic and rural practice experience throughout Australia, David returned to South Australia and joined us as an ME in 2010. In his role, he assists with the coordination and delivery of Registrar out-ofpractice rural-based training as well as conducts rural MEVs and a proportion of Registrar pastoral care responsibilities. 2010 saw the Medical Education Team expand to include two new Medical Educators, Dr David Griswood and Dr Bryan Robertson; as well as welcome into the broader group the previous PGPPP MEs, namely Dr Christel Burton, Dr Helen Mullner and Dr Brenton Wait. Dr Romany Topsfield also joined the AOGP Medical Education Team, as a casual Medical Educator, with a specific focus on exam preparation. This youthful injection into the Medical Education Team makes up a complement of 33 people (FTE 16) in this team. The ME role, which at AOGP is made up of part-time staff, comprises the majority of this group. The ME role includes pastoral care responsibility for a proportion of Registrars, an allocation of Medical Education Visits, assistance with out-ofpractice training, and delegated portfolios relevant to the ME’s interest. Casual MEs have generally chosen to focus on one of these components of work. In November, Brenton Wait, PGPPP Medical Educator, and an AOGP alumnus, resigned from AOGP and departed from Australia to pursue new professional horizons overseas with his family. AOGP would like to thank Brenton for his dedication to our junior doctors over the past 5 years, and we wish the Wait family all the best in their new adventures. Also new to the Education Team in 2010, was Kate Curtis, Education Team Coordinator with the PGPPP, Hospital and Online learning portfolios. Kate further progressed AOGP’s interactive online learning environment before departing at the end of 2010. Kate needed to move interstate because of her husband’s work commitments. Our thanks go to Kate for her important start-up work in this area. 9
