1 Newsletter August 2010 Please follow the link to our website: For all Division enquires please and your query will be forwarded to the appropriate person at the Royal NZ College of General Pracitioners or phone: News from the Division The Division now has 56 members, 39 of whom are Fellows and 15 of whom are dual Fellows of the Division and the RNZCGP. Congratulations to the following doctors who were all awarded Fellowship of the Division of Rural Hospital Medicine (FDRHMNZ) at the recent DRHMNZ Board of Studies meeting: Dr Patrick James McHugh Dr Hilary Rita Isobel Trouw Dr Stephen John Main Dr Thomas Barry Dr Stephen Withington The recent DRHMNZ Board of Studies and Council meeting covered a number of issues including: The appointment of two interim clinical leaders Drs Garry Nixon and Kati Blattner An elective one year anaesthetic training programme at Waikato hospital The possibility of reciprocity for FDRHMNZ with other countries How to improve health inequalities through training How the current proposed Integrated Family Health Centres impact on rural hospitals The Divisions involvement with Health Workforce New Zealand, the RNZCGP, and the MCNZ on assessing GPEP and the DRHMNZ education programmes Changes to base hospital requirements for MOPs, details of which are below Changes to the DRHM Maintenance of Professional Standards Programme (MOPS) The rural hospital medicine MOPS programme includes a requirement to spend 1 week per annum undertaking a clinical attachment in a base hospital. The principal
2 reason for this is the professional isolation that is so often a feature of rural hospital practice. It is intended that the attachment will provide opportunities to: Keep up to date with changes in practice Practice procedures that are required only occasionally in the rural hospital Develop relationships with base hospital staff Become familiar with new technologies that may be of value in the rural hospital It is recognised that arranging these attachments may be difficult especially for doctors working in very small rural hospitals. It is hoped that by making it a compulsory requirement rural hospital managers will take some responsibility for facilitating it including finding locums. The issue was recently reconsidered by the Board of Studies in light of feedback from some fellows. It was decided that the reasons for introducing the requirement remain important. However in order to make is easier to meet the requirement the BOS approved the following changes: The requirement should be for 120 hours per triennium (or 40 hours per annum when the period being considered is less than a full triennium). Other attachments that achieve the same goal of overcoming professional isolation can be undertaken instead. This might include spending time at another rural hospital (preferably working alongside a colleague), time spent working in a visiting specialist s outpatient clinic or time spent working on the surgical bus with the surgeon or anaesthetist. These alternatives to the base hospital requirement will need approval from the RNZCGP in the same way approval is sought for alternative CQI activities that contribute to MOPS. Modelling Robust Cultural Processes Tim Phillips, Te Akaronga a Maui Representative NZ Council Rural Hospital Medicine: I was chatting to Kati Blattner at the 2010 RNZCGP Educators Convention and she was describing the DRHMNZ registrar Marae immersion and how much everyone got from the experience. Crikey Kati, it gave me goose bumps just hearing about it! Over the years I'm sometimes asked why Maori health access is emphasised when there are so many minority groups needing help to access health care. I reckon it s a good question and find the following statistics are helpful for answering it; because they are pretty well straight up...like our back paddock. DISPARITIES AND ACCESS ISSUES In New Zealand, Maori have the poorest health status of all minority groups (table 1). Over half of the Maori population is represented in the most deprived deciles and this is when all cause hospitalization rates increase with increased socioeconomic deprivation. Between 2003 and 2005 Maori age standardised rates of hospitalization were 30% higher than non-maori. Maori, Pacific Peoples and low income groups have all been shown to access primary health services less when their poorer health outcomes signal a higher need for these services. It makes sense to investigate the up skilling and networking of GPs with hospital teams to improve access to health resource for Maori and other minority groups and ensuring that sufficient health resource is available to support this process [1,2).

Wellington; Published by New Zealand Ministry of Health June 2008; Role of the Clinical Leader for the DRHM Training Programme Who is the Clinical Leader of the RHM training programme? Drs Kati Blattner and Garry Nixon have shared this role 50:50 since March They are doing this on an interim basis until a permanent Clinical Leader is appointed in early In general Kati is responsible for registrars placed in the North Island, Garry for those in the South Island. What is the role of the Clinical Leader? The Clinical Leaders main task is to help the operational staff in the College coordinate the Training Programme (on behalf of the DRHMNZ Board of Studies (BOS)) The Clinical Leader acts as a conduit between the registrar representative and the Division. At this early stage of the training programme whilst registrar numbers are small and the Educational Facilitator system is still being developed, the Clinical Leaders can also provide advice and support for any individual registrar. Their other roles include liaison with Educational Facilitators; the Division and College staff; other specialties in planning placements e.g.: anaesthetics/icu. The Clinical Leaders are also responsible for recommendations to the BOS on the accreditation on RHM clinical training posts and, for the academic side of the programme, relevant university papers How does the role of the Clinical leader differ from the Educational Facilitator? Each registrar is assigned an Education Facilitator (EF) when they enter the DRHM Training Programme. The role of the EF is to act as a mentor to that registrar throughout the training programme. It is the EF that helps the registrar identify their learning needs and thus develop their professional training plan and report. The EF should have an overview of the registrars plan with respect to both the clinical and
4 academic components of the training programme. The EF sends a written report for that registrar to the DRHM Board of Studies each year. Both Kati and Garry are very happy for any registrar, Educational Facilitator or Rotational Supervisor to contact them with any issues/concerns.
