In response to the expansion of Deakin University and Gippsland Medical School and the Commonwealth Government decision to consolidate and reduce the number of Regional Training Providers (RTPs), General Practice Education and Training (GPET) has allowed the newly merged Greater Green Triangle and Gippsland consortium to develop and recruit new training practices and work within the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas. The new consortium and the VMA will be required to develop collaborative training delivery arrangements in those areas during the next three years. In discussion with GPET Chair A/Prof Simon Willcock, Dr John McEncroe (Chair VMA) was able to gain clarification on a number of elements of the contract offer pertaining to the sharing of the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsula regions. A/Prof Willcock was able to confirm that all current VMA practices in those regions would remain aligned to the VMA for the duration of the contract period, that any increase in registrar numbers for the merged consortium would not be off-set by a reduction in current VMA training numbers and that all VMA pilot programs, including the introduction of a rural pathway in 2011 would continue. Other points of clarification would be the subject of further discussion over the next eighteen months. Dr John McEncroe, in welcoming the clarification, committed the VMA to engaging in and supporting the continued development of the AGPT in Victoria. He noted that the VMA, through its considerable expertise, extensive resource base and sustained excellent performance over the last eight years, was well placed to take a leading role in the new AGPT direction and share its knowledge with the new consortium. http://www.vma.com.auwww.Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:58:42 GMThttp://www.vma.com.au/rss/67.aspNot sure how many WES days you have attended so far for 2009?
