Info

In networks with rural preferential recruitment sites or regional preferential allocation sites, the network committee must arrange a formal agreement between sites covering: • z separate orientation at the rural or regional site for locally-based trainees in addition to any network orientation • z accommodation arrangements for both rural and metropolitan placements • z leave arrrangements • z term allocations. Principles The NCPT shall uphold the following principles: Education and training principles • z Patient safety and quality of care have top priority. Trainees are trained in ways that are safe for them and for their patients. Education and training are designed to improve patient care now and in the future. • z Prevocational training is guided by the Australian Curriculum Framework for Junior Doctors and aims to produce a well-rounded doctor with the general competencies required for safe practice. • z Trainees have equitable access to training opportunities and a reasonable opportunity to follow their preferred career pathway. The networks function to share the benefits and responsibilities of being a trainee evenly among trainees. • z The network promotes sharing of resources between sites (eg, teachers, simulation centres, conferencing facilities, e-learning) to achieve efficiencies and maximise learning opportunities available to trainees. • z The education and training of trainees is coordinated at a network level to ensure that learning opportunities are optimised. Workforce distribution principles • z All prevocational training terms must be accredited by HETI and workforce shall be distributed in accordance with accreditation requirements. • z The availability of terms, quality of supervision and the provision of education and training must be taken into account when distributing the workforce. • z The network committee shall consider the totality of the individual trainee’s experience when making decisions about workforce distribution. • z In networks with more than one home hospital, the allocation of trainees to home hospitals must be done using a fair and transparent process. Trainees must do at least three terms at their home hospital in PGY1 and two in PGY2. New trainees must be informed of their home hospital by November before the start of the clinical year. • z Trainees belong to the network, not to their home hospitals. The network committee must share the benefits and responsibilities of having prevocational trainees evenly among training sites. z • If there is a workforce shortage, this should be shared equitably within the network, having regard to the proportional impact of a shortage. For example, generally if one of two positions in 44
HETI NETWORK PRINCIPLES a term is vacant, this has a much larger impact than if one of five positions is vacant. Networks should have a policy on how to manage vacancies in network that take into account the number of positions at each facility and their ability to manage the vacancy at a local level. • z Leave within a training term must be approved by the training site hosting the term and coordinated at the network level. Committee constitution Representation The NCPT must include: • z At least four trainee representatives from both PGY1 and PGY2, and not only from the largest site in the network • z all the Directors of Prevocational Education and Training from training sites within the network, except that general practice Directors of Prevocational Education and Training can elect to be represented jointly by a single delegate • z senior representatives of JMO management • z senior representatives of Directors of Medical Services Other members (eg, term supervisors, local health district executive) to broaden the representation of the committee are encouraged. All training sites must be represented on the committee, except that general practices in the network can elect to be represented jointly by a single delegate (eg, from the regional training provider) The Chair will determine the official membership of the committee, which shall be minuted. A HETI representative shall be invited to attend the NCPT as a non-voting observer and advisor. Chair The Chair of the NCPT will be elected annually at a meeting of the committee. The Chair may be shared between co-Chairs with the agreement of the committee. The Chair may appoint a Secretary, or put the Secretary position to a vote of the committee. Secretary The secretary will prepare documentation in conjunction with the Chair for each meeting, distribute documentation for each meeting, liaise with members as required and document minutes of the meeting. Distribution of agendas and minutes Agendas and minutes of NCPT meetings will be distributed to: • z trainee representatives from both PGY1 and PGY2 z • all the Directors of Prevocational Education and Training from training sites within the network (including all general practice Directors of Prevocational Education and Training) 45
