Education Weekend Nature Vs Nurture The 2010 AOGP Education Weekendheld in the beautiful Barossa Valley-asked the question ‘Are we by nature what we are, or can we be influenced and nurtured by the environment around us?’ From exploring cutting-edge advances in clinical genetics with Dr Chris Barnett, to being mindful of a multimodal approach to healthy lifestyles and management of obesity with Dr Caroline West. Participants spent the afternoon in a variety of hands-on skill stations delivered by enthusiastic presenters, many of whom were AOGP Supervisors and Medical Educators. Sheep’s noses were poked, prodded and packed; CPR was practiced on dummies and fellow 16 colleagues; dummy knees and shoulders were injected; Registrars and Supervisors taught each other a variety of non-clinical skills; cameras and phones were used to take photographs for clinical purposes and participants were challenged to a mock ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ session using interactive keypads to answer questions. The two masterclasses -held concurrently with the skill stations- invited participants to delve deeper into the role of general practice in both palliative care and weight management. Through shared experiences and robust discussions, participants came away with new insights in both of these very important areas. After a day of learning it was time to wind down and participants did this very well! While children were entertained with multiple activities, the adults were taken back in time to the music of the Beatles. Some sore muscles and sore heads were engaged Sunday morning with the variety of ‘self-care’ sessions available. The energy and vibe at the completion of these sessions confirmed that fun was had by all! To ensure that AOGP continues to deliver Education Weekends of outstanding educational quality, the Board has decided that they will now move to a biennial arrangement. They will now be held only in rural locations within the AOGP region every second year, with extra out-of-practice education sessions programmed for the interim year. During 2011, five extraordinary educational events are planned and the next AOGP Education Weekend will be held in Whyalla in 2012.
Liaison Officers 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 #6 Engaging stakeholder groups as and when appropriate. Registrar Liaison Officers In March 2010 Dr Holly Deer and Dr Michael Sobotta accepted the roles of RLO rural and urban, respectively. They both come to the role with strong opinions, enthusiasm and sleeves rolled up ready to contribute—an attitude much encouraged at AOGP. Soon into her role Holly attended the GPET & GPRA workshop in Canberra in March 2010, bringing back important national updates and discussion points for AOGP. In September 2010, both Holly and Michael attended the follow-up RLO meeting in Alice Springs as part of the GPET convention. At the meeting support groups/councils for GPRA to provide support for all GP Registrar groups was implemented. Also at this time the new GPRA website was released and a review of GPRA policy drafts were considered. The revised national Minimum Terms & Conditions document for 2011 was released in September and the AOGP RLOs worked locally with AOGP to ensure the AOGP Terms & Conditions document appropriately reoconciled with the national conditions. No material changes were made. A highlight for this year was the excellent group discussion that was held during the Education Weekend RLO Forum in May 2010. From this the RLOs gained ideas regarding the best methods for keeping Registrars up to date with important AOGP, GPET and GPRA releases; suggested areas for AOGP to improve, from a Registrar perspective, and plans for Registrar driven social events in the future. Nationally and locally, the RLOs have kept up to date with issues facing GP Registrars and were involved with a number of AOGP initiatives, including the development of a new online learning portal due for release in 2011; attendance as a Registrar voice for the AOGP accreditation advisory group; the Community Stakeholders Reference Group meeting; review of the AOGP Registrar Reference Manual; and reordering of the library into a more functional and useful space for Registrars and their study groups. Holly and Michael have also been involved with the promotion of GP training to medical students and trainees interested in applying for GP training; and attended several information sessions for GPSN and SA hospital career information evenings during the application process. In a follow-up to this RLOs were also involved in the 2011 Orientation and welcoming of new registrars to AOGP. 2010 has seen some significant training time and pathway policy changes from GPET, and with the Commonwealth Government health reform agenda, more changes are on the way in terms of GP Registrar training. The RLOs will continue to be involved in forums and working groups with different training stakeholders to ensure the AOGP Registrar voice is heard for future training and workforce development. Holly and Michael coordinated and participated in two social events for the year: a social drinks night held in September and a combined AOGP and Sturt Fleurieu bowling night in October. All attendees had great fun and the RLOs were very pleased to report AOGP were clearly the better bowlers! Michael has now completed his training and the end of 2010 sees the end of his RLO time, with a new urban RLO to be commencing in 2011. Editorial note—AOGP would like to offer both RLOs a sincere thanks for their dedication and genuine interest throughout 2010. Holly has agreed to stay on in the role as she heads out to begin the community element of her GP training whilst we congratulate and bid adieu to Michael who finishes his training to head off for an extended overseas trip with his family.
