During the audit process, deficiencies in current practice against set standards are highlighted, and improvements are implemented for better service delivery and outcomes 3 .…”

This study investigated the impact of clinical audit training on record-keeping behavior of dental students and students' perceptions of the clinical audit training. The training was delivered to Year 4 and Year 5 undergraduates at the School of Dentistry, International Medical University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It included a practical audit exercise on patient records. The results were presented by the undergraduates, and guidelines were framed from the recommendations proposed. Following this, an audit of Year 4 and Year 5 students' patient records before and after the audit training was carried out. A total of 100 records were audited against a predetermined set of criteria by two examiners. An email survey of the students was also conducted to explore their views of the audit training. Results showed statistically signiicant improvements in record-keeping following audit training. Responses to the email survey were analyzed qualitatively. Respondents reported that the audit training helped them to identify deiciencies in their record-keeping practice, increased their knowledge in record-keeping, and improved their recordkeeping skills. Improvements in clinical audit teaching were also proposed.

“…Consultations undertaken with 10 Australian medical specialist colleges between 2005 and 2006 found that many had recognized the potential of expanding training rotations outside major public teaching hospitals. Examples of novel options included rotations in private hospitals, private consulting rooms, outer metropolitan hospitals and clinics, primary care and simulation centres 2 …”

“…With these goals in mind, the Federal Government's Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) has established an Expanded Settings for Specialist Training (EST) Program with a particular focus on psychiatry reflecting the Government's interest in the mental health and wellbeing of all Australians 1 . In rolling out this program, DoHA has sought guidance and support from specialist medical colleges including the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP – ‘the College’), state and territory health departments, and providers of public and private mental health services 2 . This paper outlines the opportunities and risks of expanded specialist training from the perspective of the College, public and private mental health services, psychiatry training programs and psychiatry trainees.…”

Alternative training settings are required to help address the anticipated growth in numbers of medical graduates and to meet the need of psychiatry trainees for greater experience in treating high prevalence mental disorders. To progress the expansion of training settings within psychiatry, it is essential that comprehensive consultation be undertaken to understand the implications of this program for trainees, existing training facilities and expanded setting providers to ensure that all stakeholders, including patients and carers, derive benefit.

“…The medical profession does not share the Productivity Commission's wide‐eyed view of task substitution as a panacea for workforce shortages. Indeed, there are fears that the growth of task substitution could lead to a two‐tiered system and increase workforce shortages in other health areas 6 . For a start, many paramedical professionals are also in short supply.…”

Technology, community expectations and an ageing population are driving the need for an expanded health care workforce. Doctors embrace task substitution wherever it can be done safely and effectively. Task substitution should occur in the context of: ➢team care that synergises the different skills of doctors, nurses and other health professionals ➢doctors retaining their central role ➢increases in the capacity to extend medical services with efficiency gains ➢no loss of patient safety ➢no fragmentation of care The growth of task substitution could lead to workforce shortages in other health care areas. Public policy on task substitution must take full account of patient preferences and expectations.
