GPs in Training Wellbeing Committee
The GPs in Training (GPiT) Wellbeing Committee was established in late 2023. Meeting every two months, the committee is comprised of a combination of practicing GPs, Medical Educators, current registrars, and RACGP staff.
The committee’s mission statement is as follows:
All GP trainees should be well supported professionally and in their personal welfare by the RACGP as they train to achieve their full potential as GPs so they may provide the highest quality of care to their patients. The safety and wellbeing of GPiT is crucially important.
The committee will:
- inform the GP training unit of priorities to be considered to improve or assist the safety and wellbeing of GPiT
- ensure there is a focus on issues of racism, bullying and harassment
- Ensure that the wellbeing and safety of GPiT is considered as part of the ongoing development, implementation and evaluation of RACGP training programs and their policies and procedures as these impact on GPiT
- Submit a yearly workplan with goals, targets, and outcomes and review the effectiveness of the workplan
- Provide an annual report
One of the first achievements of the committee was to successfully advocate for the RACGP to sign up to the “Every Doctor, Every Setting Framework" in December 2023.
