28 May 2010 Volunteers needed for Standards
In order to finalise the draft RACGP Standards for general practices (4th edition), the new material must be tested to ensure it is acceptable, feasible and achievable. The College wants your help in the development of the profession’s standards.
You can be among the first to test how the draft Standards will work in a live setting by getting involved in the field trial of the new material. The trial will be run by the College, in conjunction with the accreditation agencies, between May and July this year.
The field trial comprises participation in an education session hosted by the College, a field test survey visit conducted by the accreditation agency, and an online practice questionnaire. Participation in the field trial in no way affects accreditation. You will also receive an acknowledgement certificate from the College. If you are due for accreditation between May and July this year, and are able to assist in the field trial, please let your accreditation agency know.
In addition, general practice teams can have their say in the development of the Standards by completing the online survey available at the RACGP website or by writing to the College at standards@racgp.org.au. Feedback on the draft 4th edition will be received by the College until 30 June 2010. For more information, visit www.racgp.org.au/standards.
