It is important to plan for the arrival of a new registrar so that they feel safe, welcome, and ready to start on their first day. It is a complex undertaking with many forms and templates to be completed.
GPSA has developed an easy timeline and checklist for practice managers and supervisors, pre-placement checklist – before the registrar starts. This document outlines the key tasks that need to be performed, alongside the supporting resources, from 2-3 months before a new registrar starts through to their first day.
Once the registrar commences, refer to the relevant RACGP orientation checklist or ACRRM orientation checklist.
It is also prudent to prepare your practice for the arrival of new learners by establishing a well-structured, best practice learning environment.
