  • An attendance form will be marked off be each attendee
  • Doctors are responsible for their own sign-off on the attendance form
  • An attendance rate of 65% of all sessions is considered optimal for each registrar
  • Any staff member falling well below this standard will have this addressed as a professionalism issue within hospital and College training systems (performance assessments, in-training assessments, 360-degree feedback)
  • Staff not attending their allocated sessions may have their 5 hours of educational payment withheld whilst Supervisors of Training investigate

• Registrar staff are expected to drive their collegial learning environment, based on adult learning principles, which includes:
  • Ensuring their own, and others’, punctual attendance
  • Remain for the completion of teaching sessions
  • Ensuring the room is set-up (for instance, computers on and US machine present)
  • Ensuring attendance form is completed and then submitted
  • Sharing their prepared work with others
  • Report any challenges to attendance to the coordinating registrars, consultants or Supervisors of Training
• ICU registrar staff are responsible for delivering their rostered educational activity
  • The registrars responsible will seek direction and guidance from the allocated responsible consultant and Senior Registrar for the session
  • Registrars will coordinate their colleagues for the education session, under supervision from the allocated consultant and Senior Registrar
  • If a shift swap is made that includes an education day, the person who is rostered to the session is accountable for the delivery of education session.
