Kia ora koutou,

It is my pleasure to produce my first DCT post for the revised newsletter process.

I’m going to cover off some important items for registrars – please read and take action where necessary.

University Papers

We’ve noted that University of Auckland have limited access to some university papers. POPHLTH709 was cancelled for semester 2 2024. PAEDS714 filled up quickly.  It is important to plan your university papers early and to apply as soon as they are open. Use the University of Auckland applications portal.

The College is monitoring the situation, and would like to know directly if you experience any difficulties in applying for your chosen paper.

UCCIS

Maintaining your UCCIS profile so that is up to date is important.

  • We need to know your current training workplace, so please ensure this is entered in UCCIS. It should appear as one of the drop-down clinic names. If not try variations of the name and if it still does not appear let us know.
  • When you change workplaces you may need to change supervisor. You will need a new agreement and a (small) handover from the old supervisor to the new one. The supervisor agreement needs to be sent to the office.

Clinical Notes Audit (CNA)

We’ve asked that you create a “planned” activity in UCCIS for your CNA, then load the notes as supporting documents. When you do this, please notify Alex the TPC. We can then access them and complete the audit.

Core Skills List survey

Remember that there is a survey out asking for your thoughts on the revised core skills list.  The survey is only a few questions long, and we’d value your input.

SDAW

If you are heading to SDAW, I am looking forward to meeting you there!
