Melbourne 2016
The College conducted its first Supervisor of Training Workshop on Thursday 11 February in Melbourne. Facilitated by Dr Bronwyn Avard and A/Prof Bruce Lister, the workshop included sessions on providing feedback, remediating techniques for poorly performing trainee as well as a Q&A session on the current curriculum.
Feedback from the workshop so far has been positive with role playing, interactive discussions, and Q&A sessions being well received. The workshop was also a valuable networking tool for attendees and as well was an opportunity to ask questions regarding the current curriculum.
A further 3 workshops will also be held this year;
• Thursday July 28 in Sydney
• Thursday October 27th in Adelaide
• New Zealand (dates to be confirmed)

Please note that as a Supervisor, it is expected you attend one of the workshops as this is an opportunity for you to not only learn new skills and techniques but also to network with Supervisors from other regions. Supervisors can also claim CPD points for these workshops.
Overseas Aid Grant
Dr Paul Speddy was a successful recipiant of the Overseas Aid Grant in 2015. He spent the time in Fiji and this is his story.
In 2015 I worked in the Colonial War Memorial Hospital in Suva, Fiji, for 3 months courtesy of the College's overseas aid grant programme.
This opportunity to work in ICU in a developing neighbouring country was a valuable and worthwhile experience, shared by expatriate doctors working in Anaesthesia and Emergency Medicine on similar aid programmes.
