Background: The new Royal Australian College of General Practitioners' vocational training standards emphasise patient safety and matching the level of supervision to registrar competence.
Methods: All supervisors attending a regional training provider's annual education workshop were surveyed about their overall confidence in assessing the safety of their registrars' patients, their registrars' competence across the five RACGP domains of general practice and supervision methods used.
Results: Of 84 supervisors, 92.8% expressed overall confidence in their ability to assess their registrars' competence and 10.7% were totally confident. Consultation observation and audit techniques were infrequently used in their assessments.
Discussion: Supervisors reported confidence in their ability to assess their registrars' competence, suggesting readiness for outcomes-based standards. The low frequency of using supervision methods considered more effective in targeting registrars' 'unknown unknowns' and the reduction in confidence with greater experiences as a supervisor raises concerns about the accuracy of this self-assessment.

Intravenous sedation for adults with profound acquired brain injury undergoing dental treatment - a seven-year service evaluation.
BDJ Open
December 2024
Consultant in Special Care Dentistry, Surrey and Sussex NHS Health Care Trust, Redhill, UK.
Background: Dental treatment may not be possible for patients with a profound acquired brain injury without pharmacological support. Intravenous (IV) sedation with midazolam is a widely accepted, safe, and effective mode of treatment for people with a disability, but there is limited evidence in this patient cohort.
Aims: This evaluation aimed to review the IV sedation service for patients with profound acquired brain injury within the dental department at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.

Department of Emergency Medicine and Pre-Hospital Services, St. Olav's University Hospital, 7006, Trondheim, Norway.
Background: Norwegian hospitals employed individual trauma triage criteria until 2015 when nationwide criteria were implemented. There is a lack of empirical evidence regarding adherence to Norwegian national criteria for activation of the trauma team (NTrC) and the decision-making processes regarding trauma team activation (TTA) within Norwegian trauma hospitals. The objectives of this study were to investigate institutional adherence to the NTrC and to investigate similarities and differences in the decision-making process leading to TTA in Norwegian trauma hospitals.
