  • A trusted colleague collates the feedback and discusses it with you to identify your strengths and areas to work on.

  • You can use a specialty-specific college guideline (linked in the ANZCA & FPM resources section) to complete this activity.
  • If you use a different tool, it must be relevant to the ANZCA and FPM roles in practice.
  • Participate in a MsF collected from immediate colleagues including surgeons, anaesthetic nurses, recovery nurses and fellow anaesthetists
  • Request a MsF related to a specific scope of specialty - for example: Pain Medicine attachment
  • Participate in a series of MsFs as part of a "round robin" training exercise
  • Undertake a MsF as part of a simulation exercise
  • You may choose to undertake a critical reflection activity on this MsF and develop a plan for practice change.
  • This facilitates the participant ‘closing the loop’ by reflecting on specific actions they can undertake to improve their practice.
