trainees receive essential sessions regardless of where they are on rotation.<br />

What rate of trainee participation is required?<br />

Some <strong>training</strong> sites report difficulties getting <strong>prevocational</strong> trainees to attend lectures.<br />

The Prevocational Training Council recommends that it is appropriate to require attendance at:<br />

• z all core <strong>training</strong> activities, which include DETECT (approach to the deteriorating patient), basic<br />

and advanced life support courses, communication workshops (including breaking bad news)<br />

and any other session deemed core <strong>training</strong> by the <strong>Network</strong> Committee <strong>for</strong> Prevocational<br />

Training<br />

• z all of intern orientation week and all term orientation activities<br />

• z a percentage (to be determined by the <strong>Network</strong> Committee <strong>for</strong> Prevocational Training) of all<br />

other educational sessions.<br />

Inadequate attendance can be deemed a failure to pass the <strong>training</strong> term.<br />

En<strong>for</strong>cing attendance is only acceptable if the network and the <strong>training</strong> facility meets organisational<br />

requirements:<br />

• z the educational program must be regularly scheduled and publicised<br />

• z educational presenters should be appropriately qualified and prepared<br />

• z term supervisors and other clinical team members must understand that releasing <strong>prevocational</strong><br />

trainees <strong>for</strong> their scheduled education sessions is required in all but exceptional circumstances<br />

z • the pagers of <strong>prevocational</strong> trainees should be held <strong>for</strong> them by the JMO unit or some other<br />

appropriate party so that educational time is protected.<br />
