July Missive 2014
Firstly to wish you all a “Happy New Financial Year”. Alas, we do not know where it is going as
Australia will take on 942 new dentists from overseas in 2014/2015 as reported in the “Australian”.
The Minister for Education has had a further press release on dental education (see “Politics” below
3 July 2014).
WEBSITE
This has been more than an embarrassment for over a year and is still not complete for either AAPD
nor ANZSPD.
I tried to be all inclusive back on 19/4/13 see emails. Publicly I feel we all need an explanation, and I
shall defer to the Committee.
POLITICS
Correspondence has been forwarded to the Minister for Health both on the Cleft Lip and Palate
Scheme (1/4/14) as well as the Child Dental Benefit Scheme (21/5/14) (8/7/14). With the latter,
picking on two issues only: that of dental treatment carried out by specialists for paediatric dental
treatment under general anaesthesia and the other being dental trauma, unlimited funding.
No Response to date.
Pyne on a visit to Charles Sturt University School of Dentistry and Health Services and made
comments on HELP Debt.
AUSTRALIAN DENTAL COUNCIL
1/5/14 Standard Review Forum notes are tabled for general comment.
ADA/Affiliated Societies Meeting
The Federal Executive of the ADA met with the Affiliated Societies on 14 May 2014 – the day after
the Budget night in Canberra.
Having suggested this to our Federal President Dr Karin Alexander, it was gratifying to see the
cross-pollination of ideas.
The minutes were of a general nature but that which I did report was:
1. BUPA and Medibank Private have an 86% share of the private health insurance in
Australia.
2. ASPEN Medical has the infrastructure to service medical and dental areas for the Federal
Government in rural and remote areas as well as some overseas (I met with Glen Keys
on Budget night).
Were Paediatric Dentistry to volunteer services it may offer an ideal vehicle.
EAPD 5-8 June Sopot Poland
Sopot is a beachside resort for the Polish – freezing water!
The Congress was well attended and the Australian contingent was at its ambassadorial, diplomatic
best.
I have subsequently written a thank you to now Past-President Monty Duggal and the Chair of the
Scientific Committee.
The Abstracts were not available or time but have now been re-edited (? In the UK) and are
produced.
Peter Gregory is now going around Poland with 3M to introduce stainless steel crowns for use in
paediatric dentistry!!!
DENTAL BOARD OF AUSTRALIA
Yes … Melbourne came to Adelaide and I was given a 1.5hr overview (see communiques).
The most striking exercise was to suggest that one day we might have a “clinical skills review” as I
have a biennial flight review for flying.
At my GA’s on 4/7/14 I discovered that ANZCA do have a proper booklet for just that – now
forwarded to Federal ADA and the DBA. This might upset some of our academic s who may not have
planned to have enough dental chairs in their Universities to cope if this is on a sessional basis (leave
you to do the maths).
DENTAL HEALTH WEEK
Posters were sent to the Committee for comment – none yet.
Now I put it out there for all.
NZDA
Correspondence tabled.
Q&A FAT v SUGAR
Held in the Convention Centre Adelaide but hosted by Tony Jones for SAHMRI (South Australian
Health and Medical Research Institute).
Dentistry was not mentioned once – even though $7-8bn is spent per annum.

Our next committee meeting is planned for late Aug/Sept.
Please forward relevant comments for our agenda in order to be all inclusive.

Dear ALL,
Please find attached a “Home Page” for us all to work on (at least I have made a comprehensive start).
I believe we start with a framework and then do the “fill in” afterwards.
I would also like to involve Nina Vasan in NZ, John Winters WA and Fiona Bell ACT, as they have had
serious involvement in the past.
The composite is from AAPD (America), EAPD,IAPD,RACDS,ADA & ANZSPD – we need to outperform
the collective!

Dear Minister,
I am writing to raise an issue of inequity in our funding of dental care for individuals with
developmental defects of their teeth or oral structures.
As you would be aware, the Commonwealth Cleft Lip and Palate Scheme (CL&PS) provides
much needed support to children with cleft lip and /or palate and other developmental oral
conditions.
Many conditions involve several missing teeth, both primary (baby) and permanent – some
individuals will have no permanent teeth at all.
Once these individuals reach adulthood, their dental care often becomes complicated and
expensive due to the need for dental implants, prosthodontic care and further orthodontic
treatment. This necessary care is not covered by the CL&PS
This treatment is primarily for functional reasons, however also has psychological
importance due to self-regard and aesthetic reasons
I ask you to review the Cleft Lip and Palate scheme to include definitive treatment for these
most deserving individuals
Yours faithfully,
Dr Joe Verco

Dear Minister Dutton
We met in Adelaide on Tues 18th Feb. 2014 and you were kind enough to give me a hearing with
others at 07.30am
Now that the Child Dental Benefit Scheme has been operating for 3 months ,I wonder if we could
please have some feedback.
We also have a meeting between the Federal Australian Dental Association and the Australasian
Academy of Paediatric Dentistry on 14th May2014 in Sydney.
We would be grateful of a response at your earliest convenience.

It is acknowledged that:
The Scheme is for 3-4 million children based upon $1000 per 2 year period.
In 2000, 27% of children had 75% of caries.
In 2006, of 27,000 children, 8114 were pre-schoolers who were admitted to hospital for
dentistry.
TERMINOLOGY REVIEW
The Child Dental Benefit Schedule should be aligned with the Australian Schedule of Dental Services and
th
Glossary (10 Edition).

Injuries and Severe Early Childhood Caries (ECC) should be treated immediately within the first two years of
life under Child Dental Benefit Scheme.
TREATMENT UNDER GENERAL ANAESTHESIA
The Australian Society of Anaesthetists supports the Australasian Academy of Paediatric Dentistry and the
Australian and New Zealand Society of Paediatric Dentistry in this modality of treatment of young children.
There should be Introduction of Items 8016 Consultation by Referral and 88016
Consultation by Referral (extended >30mins).
ASA members should be renumerated on a time bases.
TARGET POPULATION
Those with highest unmet oral health needs.
Those with genetic and behavioural manifestations eg Spectrum Disorders
The Quality of Life outcomes being paramount.
RURAL AND REMOTE AREAS
Children requiring specialist restorative services should be treated appropriately and not

Federal Education Minister Christopher Pyne has dropped into Dubbo, giving local
university authorities the chance to voice their concerns over higher education
reforms. Pyne visited the school of Dentistry and Health Services at CSU. CSU
Vice Chancellor Prof Andrew Vann is concerned about the impact on regional
students, as well as the interest rate on the HELP debt. Pyne says rural students
wanting to move to the city have access to Youth Allowance and relocation
allowances form the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth Grant Scheme is being
expanded to include non-University higher education providers.

Standards for
Education
Standards and requirements for providers
of education and training programmes
November 2012
GDC Standards for Education
The Standards for Education and the requirements that underpin these apply to all UK
programmes leading to registration with the GDC. They cover programmes in dentistry,
dental hygiene, dental nursing, dental technology, dental therapy, clinical dental
technology and orthodontic therapy.
The Standards cover four areas the GDC expects providers to meet in order for training
programmes to be accepted for registration. These areas are:
•
•
•
•
Patient protection
Quality evaluation and review
Student assessment
Equality and diversity
The following table contains the Standards and requirements, accompanied by examples
of appropriate types of evidence that the GDC expects to be produced by a provider to
demonstrate that a requirement is being met. A provider must make available
appropriate evidence for each requirement. We believe it is important that the type of
evidence the GDC expects to be provided is set out for transparency and clarity for all
parties. The aim of the Standards for Education is to implement a ‘right touch’ approach
with clear expectations communicated to providers.
Further guidance on the documents that providers need to complete and the evidence
that should be presented to the GDC at different stages of the process is contained in the
following documents:
•
•
GDC Quality Assurance Process: Guidance for Providers
New Programme Submissions
! Pre-inspection questionnaire
! GDC Standards mapping table
! GDC Learning outcomes mapping table
If a provider produces similar evidence for other purposes, the GDC will seek to use this
to minimise the administrative burden on providers. It may be possible for a provider to
use a particular document as evidence across a number of requirements.

Description of Terms Used
Assessment
There are many references to ‘assessment’ in 'Preparing for Practice', ‘The First Five Years’,
‘Developing the Dental Team’ and 'Standards for Education'. Assessment is the process or
exercises which measure and record a student’s progress towards achieving the learning
outcomes necessary for completion of their programme and registration as a dental
professional.
Assessment means those forms of assessment which enable staff involved in the delivery of a
programme to form an opinion of student performance. A wide variety of assessment methods
are commonly used and these might include continuous assessments, student portfolio, case
presentations, written exercises, research exercises, peer feedback etc., as well as summative
end of module/year/programme examinations. Assessments should have clear criteria for
success and examiners and assessors should be properly trained and briefed to carry out
assessments. Each individual learning outcome does not necessarily require its own assessment;
one assessment may cover several learning outcomes and some learning outcomes will be
assessed many times in many different ways throughout a training programme. A provider
should be able to demonstrate to the GDC how a student has achieved the learning outcomes
throughout the duration of the programme. A central system that records student performance
would be expected to provide evidence of how successful students have been assessed in the
relevant learning outcomes.
Competence, Safe Beginner, Independent Practice
The publications The First Five Years and Developing the Dental Team contain a definition of
‘competence’.
Preparing for Practice defines the terms ‘safe beginner’ and ‘independent practice’.
External Examiners
These are usually experienced GDC registrants who are not affiliated with the provider. There
may be situations where there are exceptions to this, where external examiners are affiliated to
the awarding body, but not the organisation delivering the programme. The term includes all
external assessors and verifiers. Some programmes will use external examiners who are not
registered with the GDC. This is acceptable if the external examiner is appropriately qualified for
the section of the programme they will be assessing.
Equality and Diversity
In England, Wales and Scotland, the Equality Act 2010 places responsibilities on further and
higher education institutions not to discriminate against, harass or victimise:
•
•
•
•
prospective students
students at the institution
in some limited circumstances, former students and
disabled people who are not students at the institution but who hold or have applied for
qualifications conferred by the institution.
Institutions may also have responsibilities as employers, bodies that carry out public functions
and as service providers.
10
The Equality Act protects students from discrimination and harassment based on ‘protected
characteristics’. The protected characteristics for the further and higher education institutions
provisions are:
• age
• disability
• gender reassignment
• pregnancy and maternity
• race
• religion or belief
• sex
• sexual orientation.
Being married or in a civil partnership is NOT a protected characteristic for the further and higher
education institutions provisions.
The law that applies in Northern Ireland is different from that cited above. Individuals in
Northern Ireland are protected against discrimination on the grounds of:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
age
disability
race
religious belief
political opinion
sex
sexual orientation.
All institutions, where ever they are based, have a responsibility to know what their equality and
diversity responsibilities are and to comply with them.
Patients
A patient means any individual treated by students and includes other students if treated by
their colleagues.
Placements
Placements are all places where a student will work clinically outside the providers’ main
clinic(s), or vocationally in the workplace and away from the central education institution.
Programme
A programme is the entire qualification that leads to registration. This incorporates the taught
course and assessments and includes the final assessment.
Provider
A provider is the organisation or organisations who are responsible for delivery of the
programme and assessment. If the awarding body is not the same as the organisation
responsible for the delivery of the programme, this will not make a difference to the approach of
the GDC as all providers will be treated as one organisation. It is the responsibility of the lead
organisation to liaise with the GDC and to obtain information from other organisations involved
when information is requested.
11
Staff
This means all staff involved with the quality management, delivery and assessment of the
programme.
Students
This means all students enrolled on the programme.
Supervisors
Supervisors are those responsible for students working clinically or overseeing practical work.

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Chairman welcomed all present and provided a brief background on the history of
Affiliate meetings.
She noted that the meetings used to be held between a member of
Federal Executive and the Affiliated Societies and then reported back to Federal Executive.
The meetings had ceased due to a lack of interest. At the Melbourne Congress a breakfast
meeting of Affiliates was held at which time it was felt that it was important to reinstate
these meetings on an annual basis.
The Chairman thanked everyone for supporting the initiative noting the importance for the
profession to demonstrate a united front.
The meeting sought to exchange as much information as possible and to open
communication channels.
Each attendee was then invited to introduce them self to the meeting.

The Chairman advised that Mr Keith Whelan, Australian Dental Association Foundation
[ADAF] Development Officer, would join the meeting at 2.00 pm to provide a brief overview
of the Foundation’s objectives and requested that discussion of Item 1.9 ‘ADAF’ be brought
forward to 2.00 pm.
It was noted that in developing the Agenda issues for discussion had been sought. A
number of Affiliates had raised specific issues and these would be addressed during the
meeting.
The Chairman invited attendees to identify any new Items for discussion.
Dr Sheahan requested the inclusion of a new Item ‘Establishment of a Specialist Committee
of the ADA’.
This was supported and would be included under 1.11 ‘General Business’.
The Chairman then confirmed the order of the Agenda.

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
1.1
Submissions
The Chairman advised that the ADA participated in the provision of many
submissions. In particular, she referred the meeting to the submission
provided to the Dental Board of Australia [DBA] on Scope of Practice which
illustrated how the ADA Inc., ADA Branches and Affiliates could work together
to add weight to the arguments presented to the DBA.
It was noted that messages had been received from Affiliates and Specialists
Societies advising that they wished for greater participation in the submission
process.
The Australian & New Zealand Society of Paediatric Dentistry
[ANZSPD] suggested the establishment of a formal consultation process.
The Chairman advised that although the ADA attempted to consult widely on
submissions, often this was restricted due to the short turnaround time.
Dr Sheahan thanked the ADA for reinstating the Affiliates meeting and
congratulated the ADA on the great work done on behalf of the profession.
Generally the meeting supported greater participation and welcomed the
opportunity.
Dr Olive, Chairman Policy Committee, drew the meeting’s attention to the
ADA Policy Statements and to the obligation that all submissions be
developed in accordance with ADA Policy.
Having the entire profession working together was welcomed and would add
weight to any stance.
In order to inform all groups of the submissions that the ADA was working on
and to request input into that process, the Chief Executive Officer invited all
members to provide the ADA office with a contact email address. He also
requested that if an Affiliate became aware of an issue/submission to
reciprocate by advising the ADA.
1.2
Workforce
Various documents/links were provided for information.
The Chairman advised that the Australian Society of Orthodontists [ASO] had
raised the following issues for discussion:
ADA’s position with regard to dental practitioners on the preferred migration list [given the workforce surplus];
University dental courses and number of dental students in each course –
over supply;
ADA members who were teaching at universities.
Page 4 of 13
May 14, 2014
Dr Collett added that the underlying concern was that the total number of
dentists graduating in Australia was not sustainable in terms of gaining useful
employment. He requested some direction from the ADA as to the future
guidelines and policies in place to address this.
The Chairman advised that the ADA had made several submissions, had
written to the Ministers and had undertaken some member surveys on the
issue.
Dr Olive, Chairman Special Purpose Committee on Dental Workforce advised
that workforce oversupply had been an issue for a number of years.
Health Workforce Australia’s activities were described to the meeting.
Dr Olive then advised that with allowing for dentists leaving the
profession/retirement and population growth, that 520 dentists were needed
each year. Currently 375 came from overseas hence there was a need for a
cap on the number of dentists graduating from Australian dental schools
and/or a reduction in the number of dentists accepted from overseas.
Policy Statement 3.1 ‘Dental Workforce’ detailed this further. He noted the
importance for the profession as a whole to advocate for this position.
With the recent Federal Budget announcement that universities would be able
to set their own tuition fees, the issue of quality training was raised.
Generally it was felt that graduates were under-trained and underexperienced.
Discussion ensued on workforce issues.
Dr Punshon raised the issue of CPD courses/training to equip general dentists
with the skills required to work in Aged Care facilities. This was an area of
significant growth and offered opportunities for general dentists to expand
their scope of practice in this area of need.
The Chairman advised that one of this year’s campaigns would focus on Aged
Care. The Oral Health Committee had commenced preliminary planning for
this campaign which would have a multi-pronged approach in an effort to not
only gain sustainable change but also be embraced by the aged care sector.
The Committee would consult with a number of stakeholders shortly including
the Australian Society of Special Care in Dentistry [ASSCD].
1.3
Page 5 of 13
May 14, 2014
Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency [AHPRA]
1.3.1
Dental Board of Australia [DBA]
1.3.1.1
Scope of Practice
The Chairman referred the meeting to ADA’s Hope for Scope petition which had been presented to Minister Dutton and the
co-signed submission to the Dental Board of Australia on the
draft Scope of Practice Registration Standard and Guidelines
dated June 19, 2013.
She advised that the ADA was awaiting DBA confirmation on
what would be adopted.
Some discussion ensued.
The DBA’s confusing use of
terminology, particularly in regard to allied dental
practitioners and the requirement for DBA approved CPD
courses of training, was noted.
The Chairman confirmed that the ADA had raised and
requested clarity on these and other issues with the DBA.
1.3.1.2
Dental Specialists
The Chairman advised that the Australian & NZ Academy of
Periodontists [ANZAP] had sought ADA’s position on the DBA’s project to document competencies for the thirteen dental specialties.
She advised that the ADA had not been consulted in regard
to this review.
The group then raised some issues encountered with
specialist registration and the anomalies of the AHPRA
system.
It was noted that the ADA supported the current model that
specialists also be registered as general dentists.
1.3.1.3
Specialist Recognition
By letter dated May 12, 2014, the Oral Medicine Academy of
Australasia [OMAA] advised that the University of Sydney,
Faculty of Dentistry was planning to create a Doctor of
Clinical Dentistry [DClinDent] programme in Orofacial Pain.
The DClinDent was supported by the Australian and New
Zealand Academy of Orofacial Pain [ANZAOFP].
Page 6 of 13
May 14, 2014
To date the OMAA had not been formally consulted and had
strong objections to the establishment of a specialty in
Orofacial Pain and the mounting of a DClinDent, designed to
graduate specialist level dental graduates.
Dr Anastasia Georgiou, OMAA advised that the OMAA wanted
to bring this matter to the attention of the ADA and the
Affiliates.
She stated that “pain” lay across the entire spectrum of
dentistry and the diagnosis and management of pain by
nature of that. OMAA felt that orofacial pain fell within the
scope of practice of Oral Medicine.
Further, a specific
specialty in orofacial pain would not serve the profession nor
provide better outcomes for patients.
Dr Olive confirmed that the ADA did not currently list
orofacial pain as a separate specialty in Policy Statement 3.4
‘Specialist Dentists’. However, orofacial pain management was within the definition of the specialty of Oral Medicine.
He suggested that whilst the ADA was a long way off
supporting a separate specialty, orofacial pain was an area
worthy of further research and academic interest.
It was agreed that the group maintain a ‘watching brief’ on the matter and share updates as and when available.
1.3.1.4
CPD
The following documents were provided:
DBA Guidelines on Continuing Professional Development
DBA Fact Sheet ‘Continuing Professional Development
ADA Inc. By-Law II ‘Code of Ethics’
The Chairman advised that the Australian Society of
Orthodontists [ASO] had expressed concern as to unsuitable
courses being awarded CPD credits and the advertising of
some of those courses within ADA publications.
Dr Collett suggested that the ADA should exercise more
discretion as courses advertised within ADA publications
reflected credibility. The credibility issue was recognised.
The matter of protocol was raised and it was noted that the
ADA abided by its Advertising Code. Further, an appropriate
disclaimer was included in each issue of the News Bulletin.
Dr Bonanno advised that the DBA chose not to accredit
courses.
Page 7 of 13
May 14, 2014
The Chairman stated that the CPD Committee had published
numerous articles in the News Bulletin for members on
selecting appropriate and relevant CPD.
However as
professionals they would make their own judgement calls.
1.4
Australian Dental Council [ADC]
1.4.1
ADC Accreditation Review
The Australian Dental Council & Dental Council of New Zealand
‘Accreditation Standards for Dental Practitioner Programs’ – Review
Discussion Paper dated December 2013 was provided.
The Chairman advised that the ADA had formed a Special Purpose
Committee – Dental Education Accreditation [SPC-DEA] to address this
matter and that the SPC had commenced work in preparing a
submission to the ADC on the Review of the Accreditation Standards
for Dental Practitioner Programs.
Dr Olive, Chairman SPC-DEA advised that the SPC members had
significant involvement with the ADC and accreditation. Further, the
SPC comprised of one professor and three specialists.
1.5
Private Health Insurers [PHIs]
1.5.1
Preferred Provider Schemes
The Chairman advised that ANZAP had raised the issue of Preferred
Provider Schemes.
A brief background was then given in relation to a preferred provider
situation in Western Australia. ADA’s advice and clarification of its
policy on Preferred Providers was requested.
The Chairman advised that whilst the ADA did not encourage members
to become Preferred Providers, it was ultimately a member’s personal
business decision.
The Schedule and Third Party Committee had compiled information to
assist members on subjects such as Preferred Providers which was
available on the website. Numerous articles had also been published
in the News Bulletin. Dr Olive advised that the strongest approach
taken by the ADA without breaching the Trade Practices Act was to
advise members that they seek independent advice before entering
into a Contracted Preferred Provider arrangement.
Reference was made to Policy Statement 5.5 ‘Funding Agencies’.
It was noted that the Policy Committee would welcome any input from
the Affiliates on any of the ADA’s policies.
Page 8 of 13
May 14, 2014
The quality and potential complications of overseas treatment, the use
of overseas made prosthetics and the long term need to retain these
skills within Australia were discussed.
The Chairman advised that numerous articles had been published in
the News Bulletin reminding members that the onus was on them to
ensure quality treatment. The ADA could only warn members of the
risks associated with overseas made dental materials, but ultimately it
was the member’s responsibility. It was noted that the Dental Instruments, Materials & Equipment
Committee [DIME] regularly monitored this space.
1.5.2
Differential Rebates for Specialists
In response to ANZAP’s enquiry, the Chairman confirmed that the ADA
supported differential rebates for specialists. She referred the meeting
to ADA’s Policy Statement 5.5 ‘Funding Agencies’. In particular Clause
3.2 which stated:
“In fixed rebate systems, treatment by specialists in their area of specialisation should attract a rebate higher than the rebate paid for a
similar service rendered by a general practitioner. Where rebates on
certain categories of treatment or procedural groups are subject to
maximum allowances, if the treatment is provided by a specialist,
these limits should be higher than if provided by a general practitioner.
A differential rebate system must not be established by lowering
rebates available on general practitioner services.”
1.5.3
The Australian Schedule of Dental Services and Glossary
There was discussion regarding the item codes and descriptors
contained in The Australian Schedule of Dental Services and Glossary
[Schedule]. It was noted that the Schedule was under constant review
and published in hard copy every three to five years. An electronic
publication was also being investigated which would allow release of
updates when required.
It was noted that the Specialist Societies
were consulted in the review process and that input via the Chief
Executive Officer was welcomed. This input would be forwarded onto
the Schedule & Third Party Committee for consideration before
presenting the Schedule to Federal Council for adoption.
It was suggested that if an electronic publication became available that
it also be made available in EXCEL format. Dr Bonanno noted the
request and advised that he would raise this matter with the Schedule
& Third Party Committee.
Discussion followed in relation to the equity issues hindering access to
hospitals for dental treatment under general anaesthesia and the role
of PHIs.
Medicare Codes for procedures were discussed noting the difficulty for
dental procedures to be ranked against Medicare procedures.
Page 9 of 13
May 14, 2014
This often led to patients being medically compromised due to the
required procedures being performed in dental surgeries.
Affiliates were requested to forward on any information on the issues
to support discussions with the Minister. The Chairman advised that
these concerns had been raised with the Minister and would be raised
again.
It was noted that the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority [IHPA]
was the body who determined the activity based funding and
Diagnostic Related Groups [DRG] amount and how they related. With
IHPA’s role being absorbed into the Department it was important for
the ADA to meet with that group to discuss the issues identified and to
understand how dentistry was costed and how the ADA could influence
that process.
1.6
Assistance/Support
By email correspondence dated February 28, 2014, the Chief Executive
Officer extended Federal Executive’s offer of support to Affiliates to assist in
the conduct of their affairs. It was an exploratory request to gauge the level
and type of support needed and made in an effort to obtain a closer
community between the ADA and each of its Affiliates.
The Chief Executive Officer requested that the Affiliates respond to the
abovementioned email detailing the support they would be interested in. This
would assist in measuring the extent of assistance required, the cost to the
Association and its feasibility.
Advertising for Affiliates was briefly discussed. Some issues were identified
however because not all the details were at hand, it was requested that
further details be provided to the Chief Executive Officer. The matters would
be followed up with the relevant departments, discussed by Federal Executive
and reported back.
1.7
Government Schemes
1.7.1
Child Dental Benefits Schedule [CDBS]
ADA Inc. submission dated May 17, 2013 on the Child Dental
Benefits Schedule – previously Grow Up Smiling.
ANZPD Executive Summary of the issues
membership’s care of children’s oral health.
affecting
ANZPD
General discussion on the CDBS and its uptake followed. It was noted
that reports on the CDBS Items claimed and the associated spend
could be run from the Medicare website.
Page 10 of 13
May 14, 2014
Concern was raised with a number of excluded services, in particular
dental trauma and preventive services. It was noted that in children
dental disease was largely preventable and that its exclusion from the
CDBS was unacceptable.
The President advised that the ADA had initially lobbied for the entire
schedule of services. Unfortunately, this was not accepted by the
Department.
The Manager, Policy & Regulation reported that the ADA was trying to
work in collaboration with the Department of Health and Department
of Human Service. The ADA saw value in this scheme in terms of
changing future generations and for members’ revenue streams. There would be a review of the scheme and the ADA could put a strong
case forward for further changes. The Department would be willing to
consider the case provided there would be no change to the funding
envelope.
The ADA had a good working relationship with the
Department and was happy to take on board the comments made as
well as those detailed in the ANZSPD paper and to present those in
meetings with the Department.
The CDBS’ administrative burden on dentists was noted. The matter
of Medicare staff rebilling invoices and retrospective claiming was
discussed. The Affiliates undertook to forward to the ADA details on
any of the abovementioned points for discussion with the Department.
Dr Sheahan noted that although low income Tax Benefit A recipients
qualified for the CDBS, many of them also had PHI anciliary cover.
The CDBS prevented the use of the PHI rebates as both CDBS and PHI
could not be used to reimburse for a child’s dental treatment. Dr Sheahan requested that the ADA push for those individuals to be able
to claim both the CDBS and PHI.
The President advised that the ADA had requested that the
Department consider allowing those with PHI to claim the gap but this
had been denied. The ADA would raise it again.
1.7.2
Cleft Lip & Cleft Palate Scheme [CLCP]
ADA Inc. letter dated April 29, 2013 to Dr Megan Keaney,
Medicare Benefits Branch following up on the Medicare Cleft Lip
and Cleft Palate Scheme and ADA’s submission developed in consultation with the Australian and New Zealand Association of
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the Australian Society of
Orthodontists and the Australasian Academy of Paediatric
Dentistry in support of a review of the Medical Benefits Schedule
fees for items under the CLCP.
Page 11 of 13
May 14, 2014
Department of Health & Ageing letter dated June 3, 2013 in
response to ADA’s abovementioned letter. It noted that at that time no comprehensive review of the CLCP fees was being
considered and that if the ADA felt the services under the CLCP
were not aligned with current clinical practice that a submission
and evidence be provided to the MBS Management Committee for
consideration.
Dr Sheahan commended the ADA on being proactive in responding to
CLCP and for consulting with the Paediatric Academy. He requested
that in future consultation also take place with ANZSPD.
He noted that the CLCP covered high end dentistry but did nothing for
patients who had increased risk of other oral diseases like tooth decay.
He suggested that CLCP be extended to make patents who qualify for
CLCP eligible for the CDBS irrespective of means.
1.7.3
General
1.7.3.1
ADA Federal Budget Submission
The ADA Inc. 2014-2015 Federal Budget Submission was
noted.
The Chairman advised that the process for the 2015-2016
year had commenced and requested that if the Affiliates had
any comment to please forward these to the ADA. It was
hoped that this submission would be finalised and approved
by Federal Council at its November 2014 meeting.
1.7.3.2
Dental Treatment Under General Anaesthesia
Refer to Item 1.5.3.
1.8
ADA Publications/Events
1.8.1
Advertising Standards
The ADA Inc. Advertising Planner and Advertising Code were noted.
Refer to Item 1.6.
1.8.2
Affiliates Access to Advertising
The Chief Executive Officer advised that PFA’s correspondence in relation to opportunities for Affiliates at Congress had been forwarded
to the Congress Local Organising Committee [LOC] for consideration.
The LOC would then make any appropriate recommendation to Federal
Executive.
Also refer to Item 1.6.
1.9

May 14, 2014
Insurance
The Chairman advised that Dr Sawers, PFA, had raised the issue of ‘Office Bearers Insurance’.
The Chief Executive Officer advised that the ADA Policy did not cover Affiliates
and that he had undertaken preliminary investigations regarding cover for
Affiliates. He would forward the advice when received for comment and
input.
1.10
Australian Dental Association Foundation
Mr Keith Whelan, Australian Dental Association Foundation [ADAF]
Development Officer, joined the meeting to provide a brief overview of the
Foundation’s objectives.
By way of background, he advised that the ADAF’s mission was to address the
inequality between those Australians that could access the dental care they
needed and those that reported that they could not. Formed in 2008 by the
Australian Dental Association, the ADAF had seen dentists across Australia
come together to improve the oral health of disadvantaged Australians.
Dentists around the country had volunteered their time or made financial
contributions so support and resources could be sent where they were needed
most.
One of the ADAF’s main benefactors (and Trustee) was the ADA. Through
funds raised by dentists and donated by the ADA the Foundation was
established. The ADA continued to provide financial assistance by way of the
funds derived from the Seal of Approval programme. However, the ADAF had
begun to bring other supporters on board to continue to expand the work it
did.
The ADAF secured external funding, applied for grants, found projects to
apply for funding and formulated those projects. Also two to four fundraising
events were held each year.
Further, facilitated by Give2Asia, the Wrigley Company Foundation supported
the ADAF Community Service Grants which enabled dentists, students of
dentistry and teams of allied dental professionals led by a dentist to help
improve the oral health of some of Australia’s most deprived communities .
Currently the ADAF was offering up to five study grants annually to students
of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background who were undertaking a
course of study that would lead to registration as a dental hygienist.
Mr Whelan reported that the ADAF was building sustainability and looking at
collaborative measures in indigenous and regional and remote areas and
through these collaborations building capacity to roll out projects that would
give a sustainable outcome with a life span to them. He welcomed ideas,
participation and information on innovative projects that could be funded.
Page 13 of 13
May 14, 2014
A number of Affiliates advised that they knew of some suitable projects and
would forward the information onto Mr Whelan directly.
1.11
General Business
The Chairman invited Dr Sheahan to provide further detail regarding his
request to establish a Specialist Committee of the ADA.
Dr Sheahan reported that with his work in regard to the National Oral Health
Plan Workshop it had become apparent that there were a lot of common
issues to the various dental specialties. He suggested that there would be
value in appointing a committee to establish networks between the affiliated
bodies. Although the ADA was strong in representing the interests of GP
dentists he was a little concerned that the ADA did not always represent the
interests of specialists as it is did not have a committee with the expertise to
feed into that.
Due to time constraints the Chairman requested that Dr Sheahan present
some further detail on the establishment of this committee for Federal
Executive’s consideration.
Dr Punshon raised the issue of affiliation for groups with less than 50
members, in particular the Academy of Special Needs Dentists in which there
were less than 50 specialists in Australia and New Zealand.
The Chairman requested that Dr Punshon present the case in writing for
consideration by the Constitution Committee.
The Chief Executive Officer requested that all feedback/comments be sent to
him at [email protected].
The Chairman thanked everyone for their input and attendance.
Dr Street, on behalf of the Affiliates, thanked ADA Inc., Federal Executive and
the ADA secretariat for arranging this meeting which he felt benefited all
attendees.
There being no further business, the Chairman declared the meeting closed at
5.20 pm on Wednesday, May 14, 2014.

1. Introduction
Welcome to the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program
Continual professional development is part of our responsibility as doctors (1,2,3) and the
College and its Faculty of Pain Medicine (FPM) seek to support this important activity for its
members.
We are pleased to introduce a CPD standard and program, which will facilitate safe and high
quality patient care in accordance with the ANZCA, and FPM (ANZCA) mission, “To serve
the community by fostering safety and high quality patient care in anaesthesia, perioperative
medicine and pain medicine”.
Throughout 2013, the ANZCA/FPM CPD Committee Fellows and College staff have been
working hard to develop the new program. This has included input from many ANZCA and
FPM Fellows from throughout Australia and New Zealand, representing those in public,
private, rural and urban practice.
Developments were informed by the Fellow CPD survey conducted in May 2013. We thank
Fellows for the helpful responses submitted. We also examined the programs of other
colleges, both in Australia and New Zealand as well as internationally, to ensure our program
aligns with modern developments in CPD.
An online advisory group of Fellows has been heavily involved in the design of the new CPD
portfolio system to ensure it is useful and workable for Fellows in busy clinical practice.
We would like to thank the many Fellows who have devoted their time and effort to
developing CPD Program.
This handbook is intended to make it easier to meet the requirements of the program by
providing descriptions about activities, credits as well as activity templates and tools (in the
appendices). As always, if you have any questions about CPD, assistance is readily
available through the CPD unit at [email protected] and +61 3 9510 6299.

SUMMARY
The CPD Program operates on a three-year cycle, commencing on January 1 and
concluding on December 31 of the third year. The triennium includes minimum annual
requirements.
Participants must accrue a minimum of 30 credits each year and 180 credits across the
triennium.
The CPD Program has been streamlined to include three categories: practice evaluation;
knowledge and skills; and emergency responses.
Participants must accrue 100 credits from practice evaluation and 80 credits from knowledge
and skills.
Participants are required to complete some mandatory activities from the categories of
practice evaluation and emergency responses.
Participants who neither administer anaesthesia and/or sedation, nor work in a practice
environment where it would be expected that the practitioner would be able to respond in an
emergency have different minimum CPD requirements. Participants who are not directly
involved in patient care are also catered for within the program.
The new online CPD portfolio system will make it easier and simpler for participants to
record, monitor and provide evidence of their CPD activity.
2.
Statement of purpose
Continuing professional development (CPD) is a career-long learning activity for all
registered medical practitioners. The purpose of CPD is to maintain and advance each
individual doctor’s knowledge, skills and professional behaviour to ensure the highest
standards of patient care. This is achieved through ongoing practice evaluation, learning with
peers and engaging in educational activities targeted to each specialist’s needs.
It is also important to demonstrate to external parties, including government, the medical
board and council (regulatory authorities), hospitals (credentialing), and patients and
communities that Fellows have been taking part in a program that maintains professional
development. Involvement in the ANZCA CPD Program will provide tangible evidence of
participation and compliance through annual participation and triennial compliance
certificates. Without such evidence, employment, clinical privileges and medical registration
may be affected.
The College conducts the CPD Program in accordance with the standards and requirements
for accreditation set by the Australian Medical Council and the Medical Council of New
Zealand. The College has produced a standard, including a framework for directing
education provided by others and to guide self-directed learning. The ANZCA CPD standard
applies to all specialist anaesthetists and specialist pain medicine physicians in Australia and
New Zealand, even if they are completing another CPD program or a self-directed program
(Australia only).

3. Mandatory participation in CPD – regulatory authorities
Medical Board of Australia
In Australia, medical practitioners who are engaged in any form of medical practice are
required to participate regularly in CPD, which is relevant to their scope of practice. This
became mandatory from July 1, 2010 under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation
Agency (AHPRA) and a failure to comply is a breach of legal requirements for registration.
CPD must include a range of activities to meet individual learning needs including practicebased reflective elements, such as clinical audit, peer-review or performance appraisal, as
well as participation in activities to enhance knowledge such as courses, conferences and
online learning.
Members or Fellows of medical colleges accredited by the Australian Medical Council can
adhere to the registration standard by meeting the standards of CPD set by their College.
For more information, refer to the Medical Board of Australia’s Continuing Professional
Development Standard.
Medical Council of New Zealand
The Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ) defines CPD as involvement in audit of
medical practice, peer review and continuing medical education, aimed at ensuring that a
doctor is competent to practise medicine. CPD is also intended to foster a culture of peer
support and lifelong learning.
The MCNZ requires all doctors registered in a vocational scope of practice to participate in
an accredited recertification program administered by the relevant vocational education
advisory body (VEAB, formerly known as branch advisory bodies) to receive an annual
practising certificate (recertification). For the vocational scope of anaesthesia, ANZCA is the
approved VEAB and FPM is the approved VEAB for the specialty of pain medicine.
More information regarding the requirements can be found in the MCNZ’s document on
Recertification and Continuing Professional Development.

4. CPD Program requirements
Overview of CPD Program requirements
The ANZCA CPD Program contains three categories:
Practice evaluation;
Knowledge and skills
Emergency responses.
Participants need to complete 180 credits across the triennium, participating in learning
activities from all three categories (refer to Table 1, p8). All participants will need to complete
the CPD plan at the beginning of their triennium, and an evaluation at the end.
To be considered an active participant in the ANZCA CPD Program, participants need to
complete the CPD plan and earn a minimum of 30 credits a year.
Practice evaluation
This category focuses on the evaluation of a participant’s own practice for quality assurance.
Evaluation activities that are directly relevant to a participant’s practice include clinical audits,
multi-source feedback, patient experience surveys and peer review of practice. Practice
evaluation activities that may not be directly relevant to a participant’s own practice include
attendance at morbidity/mortality meetings, participation in case conferencing, accreditation
inspections of hospitals or other training sites and medico-legal report writing.
Knowledge and skills
This category includes activities such as attending conferences, courses and workshops, as
well as self-directed learning, such as completing online modules and journal reading.
Participating in the teaching and assessment of trainees, and contributing to research also
are options that earn credits.
Emergency responses
This is a new category incorporated into the program from 2014 to facilitate regular education
in those emergency responses considered “core” to safe practice, which Fellows otherwise
infrequently encounter.
Participation in a crisis management courses such as Effective Management of Anaesthetic
Crisis (EMAC) or advanced life support (ALS) will achieve this requirement, however, it is not
mandatory to attend any specific courses.

Table 1: CPD requirements according to practice type
Participants who envisage difficulties in meeting the CPD requirements for their type of
practice are encouraged to contact the College CPD unit for advice and assistance (see
section 15).
Faculty of Pain Medicine Fellows
Faculty of Pain Medicine Fellows may choose to do the CPD program of their primary college,
however, they will be required to adhere to the ANZCA (including the FPM) CPD Program
Standard when selecting activities and accruing credits toward that program. Therefore,
Fellows whose practice does not include performing interventional pain procedures will need
to complete activities commensurate with the practice evaluation and knowledge and skills
categories of the ANZCA CPD Program. Fellows whose scope of practice includes
interventions will need to complete the equivalent of all three categories of the ANZCA
program. It is expected that activities completed for CPD purposes in any CPD program
reflect the balance between that Fellow’s scope of practice in pain medicine and their other
specialty Please also refer to Section 12 - Verification of activities completed.

Trainees completing provisional fellowship training
Provisional fellowship trainees (PFTs) are automatically enrolled in the ANZCA CPD
Program from the start of their provisional fellowship training in accordance with regulation
37:
37.5.5.7.9 Provisional Fellows must enrol in the ANZCA Continuing Professional
Development (CPD) Program at the commencement of their PFT, and participate in the
program throughout the minimum 52 weeks training period and during any extended
provisional fellowship training if applicable. Evidence of participation on a pro-rata basis will
be required in order to complete the vocational training program. The pro-rata CPD
requirement will be a minimum of 60 CPD credits to be achieved by the conclusion of the
minimum 52 weeks PFT. Additional CPD credits on the same pro-rata basis will be required
for time spent in extended training.
Participation in the ANZCA CPD Program enables trainees to prepare for the responsibilities
of fellowship. Provisional fellowship trainees can claim CPD credits for the scholar role
activities that they have submitted within the training portfolio system and also workplacebased assessments (WBA) that they compete as WBA assessors for more junior trainees.
The CPD portfolio system has been designed to synchronise data from the training portfolio
system automatically and provisional fellowship trainees just need to verify the entries in their
CPD portfolio. The CPD cycle will be based on a triennium, which correlates with the start
date of the trainees’ provisional fellowship training.
Provisional fellowship trainees need to meet the annual pro-rata requirements of the CPD
Program for the purposes of completing their training requirements, however, the first year of
their CPD triennium includes the remainder of the calendar year. CPD cycles follow the
calendar year and this flexibility reduces pressure on provisional fellowship trainees after
achieving fellowship.
Example:
Provisional fellowship training:
March 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015
(Provisional fellowship trainees must achieve the pro-rata requirements of CPD during this
time, that is 60 credits.)
Year 1 of CPD triennium:
Year 2 and 3 of CPD triennium:
March 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015
January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017
This may be adjusted if the provisional fellowship trainee needs to be extended. For more
information contact the College CPD unit for advice and assistance.
Retired Fellows
Fully retired Fellows, or Fellows who are not maintaining their Australian Medical Board or
Medical Council of New Zealand registration, are not required to participate in the CPD
Program. Retired Fellows who are not involved in direct patient care, though work in any
other capacity, are required to achieve 80 credits across the triennium through participation
in knowledge and skills activities. They are not required to complete practice evaluation or
emergency responses activities. An annual statement of participation will become available
to retired Fellows upon completion of the CPD plan and 15 credits.
Fellows working part-time
Both Fellows in part-time and full-time practice are required to meet the same CPD
requirements according to the type of practice they are involved in (refer to Table 1). There is
no reduction in minimum annual requirements or minimum triennial requirements for those
working part-time as it is important that the requirements are intended as a minimum to
demonstrate that every practitioner is keeping up to date.
9
Australian and New Zealand Fellows residing overseas
Fellows residing overseas are still required to participate in CPD. An Australian Fellow may
participate in a program in a jurisdiction administered outside Australia, provided that CPD
activities undertaken comply with the ANZCA CPD Standard. New Zealand Fellows are
required to participate in the ANZCA CPD Program as it is the only program recognised by
the Medical Council of New Zealand for specialist registration in both anaesthesia and pain
medicine.
Non-Fellows and international medical graduate specialists
The ANZCA CPD Program is open to all registered medical practitioners who choose to join
the program as non-Fellows. Those in the non-fellow category may include, for example,
general practitioners who practise anaesthesia in Australia, and New Zealand general
registrants with a scope of practice restricted to anaesthesia in New Zealand. International
Medical Grauate Specialists (IMGS) undergoing assessment by ANZCA may also be
required to enrol in the CPD program, and are classificied as a non Fellow.
Non-Fellows must complete the same CPD requirements as ANZCA or FPM Fellows,
depending on the participant’s practice type (refer to Table 1). They receive the same access
to the CPD portfolio system and other College benefits such as the services of the ANZCA
Library.
Non-Fellows will also be included in the selection for the annual verification of CPD activities.
For non-Fellows, an annual fee is payable in order to participate in the ANZCA CPD Program.
An application form to register and participate is available for download via the College
website.
5. Special consideration
Participants who are unable to meet the minimum CPD requirements due to exceptional
circumstances may apply for special consideration. The ANZCA CPD Committee chair or
FPM CPD Committee chair as relevant will assess all such applications. Examples of the
types of circumstances that may be considered are: serious illness, loss or bereavement,
leave of absence from professional duties, parental leave and other leave or absence from
professional duties.
Special consideration is considered on a case-by-case basis and, if approved, may lead to
the minimum requirements being adjusted for the applicable triennium. Advice and guidance
can be provided to assist with maximising credit totals.
Enquiries regarding special copnsideration should be made as early as possible within the
triennium, to allow time to action the outcomeof the application or provide assistance before
the end of the triennium.
Applications for a special consideration must be made in writing and addressed to the. A
response from the CPD unit will be sent within five working days, advising of eligibility for
special consideration. All correspondence will be handled in the strictest of confidence.

6. Accruing CPD credits
Tables in this section provide a description of each activity, the number of credits accrued (if
relevant) and the type of evidence required for verification of the completion of the activity.
Electronic files of evidence can be uploaded to the CPD portfolio system when the activity is
recorded. Examples of evidence files include a PDF of a scanned document or an image of
document taken by a mobile device.
Category: Practice evaluation
Practice evaluation – 100 credits per triennium
**Participants are required to complete two of the following four Practice Evaluation activities
each triennium. The same activity may be completed twice to satisfy this requirement. These
activities involve direct evaluation of a participant’s clinical practice.
** Patient experience survey
The purpose of the patient experience survey is to obtain feedback from patients on the
care they received from their anaesthetist and the anaesthesia team, or their pain
medicine specialist. There are a number of developed validated surveys that assess
patient satisfaction, however, participants must use a survey that has been developed
specifically for the specialty of anaesthesia or pain medicine (as relevant). Specialists
must obtain feedback from a minimum of 15 patients who represent a good cross
section of patients from their everyday practice.
For an example of a patient experience survey that could be used for this activity, refer
to Appendix 1A for anaesthesia and 1PM for pain medicine. For guidelines on the
administration of the patient experience survey, including the collation of results, refer
to Appendix 2A for anaesthesia and 2PM for pain medicine.
Credits:
20
Evidence:
A copy of the survey used plus a completed Patient Experience Survey
Confidentiality and CPD Verification Form (refer to Appendix 3).
** Multi-source feedback (MsF)
The purpose of the multi-source feedback (MsF) is to guide improvement by asking
colleagues and co-workers to identify attributes that can be developed further and/or
addressed if suggested.
Participants must obtain feedback from a minimum of six colleagues and co-workers
with whom they work with on a regular basis. It is recommended that feedback
responses be sought from another anaesthetist (where possible), a surgeon, an
anaesthetic assistant (nurse/technician) and a trainee (if applicable). Participants may
use a MsF form that is already in use within in their workplace. To be considered valid
activity (for audit/verification purposes), the form must request feedback on a minimum
of 15 attributes covering a range of behaviours included in the ANZCA Roles in
Practice, which describe the attributes of a specialist anaesthetist (see Appendix 16).
The form must incorporate items on clinical work, communication, teamwork, teaching
and learning and professional aspects of their role as an anaesthetist or pain medicine
specialist.
An example of a MsF form that could be used for this activity is in Appendix 4A and
4PM. For guidelines on the administration of the multi-source feedback form, selfassessment and collation of the results, refer to Appendix 5A and 5PM.
Note that the specialist providing the MSF feedback can claim CPD credits in
Knowledge and Skills under Review of ANZCA/FPM Fellows or trainees.
Credits:
20
11
Practice evaluation - 100 credits per triennium
Evidence:
A copy of the MsF form used plus a completed MsF Confidentiality and
CPD Verification Form (refer to Appendix 6).
** Peer review of practice
The purpose of the peer review of practice is for a participant to consider their practice
including how they may improve in their role as an anaesthetist, with the help of a
trusted colleague.
Participants select a colleague to observe their practice over half a day and record
observations. After the observation, the colleague uses observation notes to initiate a
feedback discussion regarding various approaches to patient care. To be considered
valid activity (for audit/verification), the observation form must prompt notes and
discussion on a range of behaviours included in the ANZCA Roles in Practice, and
therefore, as a minimum, incorporate items on patient management, communication,
team work and list management.
For an example of a peer review of practice form that could be used for this activity,
refer to Appendix 7.
For guidelines on the conduct of the peer review of practice, refer to Appendix 8.
Credits:
20, for both recipient and reviewer
Evidence:
A copy of the peer review of practice form used plus a completed Peer
Review of Practice Agreement Form (refer to Appendix 9).
** Clinical audit of own practice or significant input into a group audit of practice*
Participants complete a systematic analysis of an area of practice to improve clinical
care and/or health outcomes, or to confirm that current management is consistent with
the current available evidence or accepted guidelines. An identified standard is used to
measure current performance and outcomes are documented and discussed with a
colleague. The process may be repeated on a regular basis (for example, every few
years) in a cycle of continuing quality improvement. A clinical audit may involve one
practitioner or a group of practitioners in single or multiple disciplines (for example, an
anaesthetist and surgeon working together could jointly undertake an audit).
For resources on the conduct of the audit, refer to Appendix 10.
Credits:
20
Evidence:
A summary of audit results (see Appendix 10).
12
Category: Practice evaluation (continued)
The following practice evaluation activities are all optional, with no minimum requirement.
Report of clinical audit findings
Documentation of clinical audit results, including recommendations and implemented
changes as a result of an audit conducted. This may also include time devoted to
presentation of findings locally or more widely at a meeting or conference.
Credits:
Two credits per hour
Evidence:
Short summary of recommendations and implemented changes, front
page of report or correspondence regarding confirmation of
presentation.
Case discussions/conferencing
Case discussions/conferencing presenting cases of interest at a small group
discussion, either face to face or by videoconference. It is a planned discussion of at
least three participants (may be multi-disciplinary) with the purpose of reviewing the
management of the patient(s) and determining the best options.
For guidelines on the conduct of case discussions/conferencing, refer to Appendix 11.
Credits:
Evidence:
Log of discussion times and colleagues involved.
Morbidity/mortality meetings
The purpose of a morbidity and mortality meeting is to review the anaesthesia
management and to determine whether it contributed to mortality or morbidity, and
how these could have been averted. There is usually a high degree of interaction and
discussion, and anaesthetists involved in individual cases should be participants.
Credits:
Evidence:
Attendance sheet, diary entry or statement from department or group
confirming attendance.
Incident monitoring/reporting
Learning from both adverse events and near misses is essential for improving quality
care. Preparing an incident report, considering the reasons why the incident took
place and actions that can be taken if the participant is presented with a similar
situation in the future, is a valuable form of practice evaluation. Participants could
complete this activity through their department, hospital or practice or use a web
based anaesthetic incident reporting system, for example; WebAIRS.
Credits:
Evidence:
Brief summary of reported event (paragraph), statement from
department or group or entry on WebAIRS.
13
Review of patient care pathways
Active participation in meetings of healthcare institutions or practices with the purpose
of reviewing patient care pathways and preparing action plans to address areas
identified as requiring improvement.
Credits:
Evidence:
First page of agenda or minutes or correspondence confirming meeting
attendance.
Hospital inspections/accreditation
ANZCA and FPM accredit hospitals and other training sites to provide approved
training for ANZCA and FPM trainees. Involvement in a hospital
inspection/accreditation team for another College, being a surveyor for the Australian
Council of Healthcare Standards (ACHS), or involvement in health certification in New
Zealand through the Ministry of Health can be also logged also within this activity.
Credits:
Evidence:
Letter of invitation/thanks, confirmation of meeting schedule, or first page
of report which includes date and accreditation team.
Medico-legal reports/expert witness
Requests for medico-legal reports may originate from a variety of sources such as
police, lawyers, government tribunals, insurance companies or the patients themselves.
This activity is credited according to the time required to prepare a report and/or act as
an expert witness.
Credits:
Evidence:
Letter of invitation to provide a report or to act as an expert witness.
Root cause analysis
Root cause analysis (RCA) is a structured method used to analyse serious adverse
events. The goal of RCA is to identify both active errors (errors occurring at the point of
interface between practitioners and a complex system) and latent errors (the hidden
problems within health care systems that contribute to adverse events). Participants
may be involved in this activity through their department, practice or hospital and
credits are earned according to the time required.
Credits:
Evidence:

Evidence:
Examples included in this section are intended as a guide to learning opportunities that are
available to participants to accrue credit toward the CPD Program. It is not a comprehensive
list.
CPD may only be claimed in the calendar year in which the activity was undertaken. No
credits may be carried over to the following year or triennium.

7. ANZCA/FPM Roles in Practice
Fellows have professional roles in common with other medical specialties and they are
expressed in the ANZCA and FPM competency-based curriculum framework as medical
expert, communicator, collaborator, manager, health advocate, scholar and professional.
Learning outcomes within each role are specific to the practice of anaesthesia or pain
medicine.
The ANZCA CPD Program has been developed with the ANZCA/FPM Roles in Practice in
mind. Each role is featured in categories within the CPD Program and Fellows are
encouraged to select activities and development of capability across the full spectrum of
roles.
For more information on how various CPD activities are mapped to the ANZCA/FPM Roles in
Practice, refer to Appendix 16.
8. CPD portfolio system
The new CPD portfolio system retains some features with which participants will be familiar
such as recording each activity, entering a plan at the beginning of the triennium and the
triennial evaluation towards the end. It includes new functionality to ensure a streamlined
process for recording activities, with the added ability to upload supporting evidence. It is
also possible to record data in to the system when offline, for example while travelling on a
plane or other situations without internet access.
When a participant registers online for an ANZCA or FPM-run event via the ANZCA or FPM
website, credits will be automatically entered into the participant’s portfolio to be later
confirmed or edited. If assessments are completed on trainees and logged in the ANZCA
training portfolio system (TPS), credits will be automatically entered into the participant’s
portfolio for later confirmation or editing. Provisional Fellows can also select activities
submitted in the TPS within the CPD portfolio system quickly and easily to avoid the need to
enter activities twice.
The interface of the system has been carefully designed with ANZCA and FPM Fellow input.
Resources, tools and helpful information is embedded in the interface so it can be viewed
well on computers and mobile devices. The dashboard enables participants to keep track of
how they are progressing in each of the CPD categories throughout their triennium.
If a participant has completed a previous CPD triennium with ANZCA, all of this information,
including the plan, evaluation and previously earned statements and certificates, will be
available through the new system.
Participants will be able to access the new CPD portfolio system via the ANZCA website,
using their College ID number and password.
20
9. CPD plan and evaluation
CPD plan
The following steps will need to be completed when developing the CPD plan:
Step 1
Practice evaluation – select activities you will be involved in and when you
might be able to complete them.
Step 2
Identify knowledge and skills you wish to improve, learn or develop.
Step 3
Knowledge and skills – select activity options (and possible timeframes).
Step 4
Emergency responses – select activities you will complete.
The CPD plan must be completed via the CPD portfolio system to receive annual statements
of participation and a triennial certificate of compliance.
For more information on each step of the CPD plan, including examples of broad areas that
may be considered when identifying knowledge and skills to learn about or develop further,
refer to Appendix 17.
CPD evaluation
The ANZCA CPD Program requires participants to complete a brief evaluation of their
program at the end of the triennium. Completion of the evaluation in the CPD portfolio
system is required to obtain a certificate of compliance.
For more information, including questions to prompt participants on what could be included
when writing the evaluation, refer to Appendix 18.
21
10. Qualified privilege (QP) and professional quality assurance
activities (PQAA)
Collecting information about patients has important privacy implications under relevant laws
and recording personal information about achievements has implications for participants.
For patient experience surveys, multi-source feedback, and peer review of practice, the focus
of the revised CPD standard is on the educational outcomes of the activities and how
participants review feedback to improve their practice. For these activities, the evidence
required by the College at times of annual verification relates to (refer to Section 12 –
Verification of completed activities):
Providing the blank patient experience survey form or multi-source feedback form if
the form used is not the ANZCA form and/or
Providing the relevant CPD verification form.
In collecting and using any information, it is the participant’s responsibility to ensure that all
privacy obligations are met, and any necessary consent is obtained. Participants must
ensure that their hospital/private practice privacy statement is followed and that the patient
has consented as per the hospital or private practice policy.
Australia
CPD participants should be mindful that quality assurance activities under the 2014 CPD
Program do not enjoy qualified privilege in Australia. A notification of change is being
processed by the Department of Health for the practice evaluation category quality
assurance and emergency responses category quality assurance elements of the program
so participants have confidence that their records are protected from disclosure. Participants
will be updated regularly with the outcomes of this application. For more information contact
the College CPD unit (refer to p26)
New Zealand
The reapplication process is underway in New Zealand as part of the normal PQAA cycle. An
outcome will be confirmed and communicated in May 2014.
Further information
Fact sheets on qualified privilege and protected quality assurance activities are available
from the relevant authorities through the links provided below:

22
11. Participation in alternative programs
Australian Fellows may participate in any CPD program, including a self-directed CPD
program, provided that CPD activities undertaken comply with the ANZCA CPD Standard.
With regards to anaesthesia, the ANZCA CPD Program is the only program recognised by
the Medical Council of New Zealand for the purposes of specialist registration.
FPM Fellows who are not also ANZCA Fellows may be required to enrol in the CPD program
of their primary college, as reciprocity of CPD recognition is not automatically guaranteed by
participation in the ANZCA/FPM CPD program. In this case, the FPM Fellow must be
conversant with the ANZCA/FPM standard and if audited must provide evidence of having
met the standard in all relevant areas. This may mean for some Fellows that full compliance
with the requirements of their alternate CPD program does not meet the ANZCA/FPM
standardfor example, if Practice Evaluation activities have not been completed.
From time to time, regulatory authorities (that is the medical board or council) approach the
College to inquire about a Fellow’s CPD participation. For a Fellow who is participating in an
alternate CPD program, the College will inform the regulatory authority that it has no
knowledge of current participation or compliance with CPD.
12. Annual and triennial certificates
Annual statement of participation
This statement can be used when the participant needs to demonstrate he or she is actively
enrolled in an accredited CPD program.
The statement will only be generated from a participant’s CPD portfolio when the CPD plan
and the minimum annual requirement of 30 credits have been completed. Once available,
this statement can be reproduced at the participant’s convenience throughout the duration of
his or her triennium.
Upon inquiry, regulatory authorities may be advised that a Fellow is not participating in CPD
if a Fellow does not adhere to the minimum annual requirements of the program.
Triennial certificate of compliance
A triennial certificate of compliance will be generated from a participant’s CPD portfolio
system upon completion of:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The CPD plan.
An evaluation of the plan and CPD achievement across the triennium.
A minimum of 30 credits per annum.
A minimum of 100 credits, and completion of two ** highlighted activities in practice
evaluation.
5. A minimum of 80 credits in knowledge and skills.
6. A minimum of two activities in emergency responses (if these activities be applicable to
the participant’s type of practice – refer to the CPD Requirements for various participants
table in Section 4).
This certificate will be available from a participant’s CPD portfolio after September in the final
year of the participant’s triennium. Participants who have been selected for inclusion in the
23
verification process at the end of their triennium will be able to obtain their certificate of
compliance after completion of the verification process.
Upon inquiry, regulatory authorities will be advised that a Fellow is non compliant with CPD if
a Fellow does not adhere to the minimum triennial requirements of the program.
13. Verification of activities completed
It is a requirement of the Australian Medical Council and Medical Council of New
Zealand accreditation of the CPD program that there is a random audit process for
participants.
A minimum of 7 per cent of all Fellows and ANZCA CPD Program participants will be
randomly selected for audit each year. In addition, 7% of FPM Fellows will be
randomly selected for audit. The annual verification of CPD activities will include
participants in the first and second year of the triennium.
Participants will be notified from September if their records will be subject to verification.
From this notification, participants will then have until December 31 to upload any completed
CPD activity and collate documentary evidence to substantiate the CPD activities that have
been recorded.
The verification will take place over the January to March period after which participants will
be notified that either:
The verification process is complete and the evidence provided has confirmed the
CPD they recorded; or
Further documentary evidence is required to complete the verification process; or
Documentary evidence in significantly disparate to the CPD recorded and will effect
the availability of annual statements of participation and/or triennial certificate of
compliance.
The ANZCA CPD portfolio system enables participants to upload evidence as activities are
completed and to automatically select ANZCA/FPM events or assessments completed in the
training portfolio system. It is expected that the process of verification will be relatively
straightforward for most participants. Participants are encouraged to upload evidence for
non-ANZCA events and activities as they go so that the evidence is already in their CPD
portfolio, readily facilitating audit (see Evidence, below).
Evidence
ANZCA events registered through the online events process, or workplace-based
assessments logged in the ANZCA training portfolio system, will be automatically populated
in to the CPD portfolio system. Participants will still be required to manually verify the activity
in order for the credits to populate their portfolio. No additional evidence will be required.
Where a participant uploads evidence at the time of recording the CPD activity, the
verification process will not require additional evidence, unless the evidence provided does
not substantiate the record and more information is specifically requested.
For other CPD activities, evidence can be uploaded to the CPD portfolio or sent to the CPD
unit via email or hard copy when participants are notified of their inclusion in the verification
process.
24
All CPD records/evidence must be kept for three years, in line with the requirements of the
Medical Board of Australia’s Continuing Professional Development registration standard.
(http://www.medicalboard.gov.au/Registration-Standards.aspx)
Participants in alternative CPD programs
All Fellows of ANZCA (including FPM Fellows completing their primary college CPD
program) are eligible for the random audit process, regardless of which CPD program they
are completing.
Fellows participating in alternate CPD programs are required to record their CPD activities
according to the CPD standard by completing a form that will be provided to them if selected
in the verification process. Evidence, as referred for each activity in Section 5 - Accruing
CPD credits, must be provided to verify the completion of all activities recorded on the form.
This includes copies of certificates of completion, letters of invitation and confirmation etc.
Privacy
All correspondence and evidence provided to ANZCA as part of the audit process will be
treated confidentially in line with ANZCA’s Privacy Policy.
For a detailed explanation of the verification process, please refer to Appendix 19.
14. Important dates
All trienniums commence on January 1 and conclude on December 31 three years later.
Participants are encouraged to keep their CPD portfolio up to date at December 31 each
year to ensure availability of annual statements of participation and to streamline the
verification process of activities completed, should this be required.
Mid-year, participants will receive an individual notification reminding them of their CPD
progress in relation to the minimum annual requirement (30 credits) and the minimum
triennial requirement. An end of year reminder will also be distributed by the end of
November.
15. Help and support from the CPD unit
If you require help or support with any aspect of the ANZCA CPD Program, please contact
the CPD unit at [email protected] or on +61 3 9510 6299.

How To Brush
Your baby or toddler’s teeth
Babies
The concept of brushing your baby’s teeth might seem odd. He or
she might only have a few teeth or maybe none at all! However, no
matter how many teeth you have and even in the early stages of
life, bacteria will find their way into the mouth and can cause decay.
bad breath, and lifelong problems. In extreme cases, children as
young as two or three end up going to the hospital and being
put under general anaesthetic to have all of their teeth removed.
This can not only have social ramifications for your child, but is a
potentially life threatening procedure.
First baby teeth usually come through between 4 and 7 months.
Even before you see any teeth it’s best to clean your baby’s mouth by
wiping the gums with a soft cloth twice a day. This will help remove
bacteria and get both you and your baby used to ‘teeth’ cleaning.
Ignore the tears, don’t give in to the tantrums, and adopt some
simple tips to make brushing more fun.
As soon as the first tooth comes through it’s time for brushing.
The easiest way to do this is to place your baby in a secure position
such as in your lap, on a bed, or on a change table. Support the
head from behind by gently wrapping an arm around and cupping
the chin, while gently opening the mouth. Using a soft children’s
toothbrush, gently brush each tooth and massage the gum using a
soft, circular motion. You won’t need any toothpaste until about 18
months so just use a bit of cold water.
It may seem like an overkill but baby teeth need to be flossed daily.
If you’re not flossing you are only cleaning half of the mouth and
increasing the risk of decay. Gently floss along the sides of each
tooth up to the gum, holding the chin for best control of the head.
If you’re not confident flossing your babies teeth speak to a dentist
who can show you the correct technique.
Crying and Fussing
You might get a bit of resistance but it is important to brush and
floss even if your baby doesn’t like it. Be strong and ignore the tears
and the squeals, but don’t be too rough. Just remind yourself, you
are maintaining a healthy mouth for a healthy child.
Toddlers
Brushing through the terrible two’s…and beyond
For some parents brushing and flossing their toddlers teeth is like
going to war twice a day. Running, kicking, screaming, crying.
The simple fact is, most kids do not want you anywhere near their
mouth. Sometimes it might not even seem worth the hassle, until
you are aware of the alternative.
A combination of poor diet, not brushing, not flossing, and
avoiding the dentist will undoubtedly mean your child will
experience severe decay. This means pain, brown or yellow teeth,
facebook.com/HealthyTeethAustralia
MAKING BRUSHING TIME FUN
1. Make brushing a game: You can invent and
change the rules or create characters and a
storyline, as long as your child becomes interested
they’ll more passively accept the clean.
2. Lead by example: Brush your teeth first to show
that everyone does it and it’s a part of life. This will
help you remember to be diligent about your oral
care too!
3. Look for fun products that might help: Funny
toothbrush holders, ‘singing’ tooth brushes,
toothpaste with their favourite TV character on it.
Let your child choose their own tools! Just make
sure it’s a soft toothbrush and child friendly low
fluoride toothpaste.
4. Play music or a song during brushing: This will
help keep to time and be a fun distraction. Search
YouTube, The APP Store or Google Play for great
tooth brushing songs and apps.
5. Create a brushing chart: Sign off your child’s
success both morning and night, and create a (nonfood related) reward system.
The best way to ensure you’re doing the right things is to make sure
you book both yourself and your child in to see the dentist regularly.
You will both get a thorough clean of your teeth and gums, and
make sure you have healthy teeth for life.

THE 5 DON’TS OF DENTAL VISITS
1. Don’t tell your child to be brave (they already are)
2. Don’t bribe your child
3. Don’t tell your child that it won’t hurt (or it will)
4. Don’t use the dentist as a deterrent or punishment

Snack Attack
You are what you eat
Every parent knows that chocolates, lollies, and fizzy drinks are
bad for their child’s teeth. It’s because the sugar in these foods and
drinks are harmful and cause dental decay, a disease that more than
50% of Aussie kids suffer. A disease that is entirely preventable.
Tooth decay is caused by how frequently we snack and how long
you are exposed to food at any one time. This doesn’t mean just
lollies and fizzy drinks; this includes foods that are high in natural
sugars or starch.
Every time we eat our teeth are exposed to the sugars in food. The
bacteria in our mouths (plaque) use these sugars to make acid,
and if teeth are exposed to this acid long enough holes develop this is known as tooth decay.
Don’t worry; it’s not all bad news. No one is saying that your
children should never be allowed to eat sugary foods again!
Rather, when choosing snacks, be aware of how much sugar is
in them, but more importantly, reduce the number of times they
eat these foods and make sure they are eaten in an appropriate
time frame, not over long periods of time.
So what can my children snack on?
Finding and preparing healthy snacks can be a challenge,
especially if you have a fussy eater or a child with food
intolerance. Being informed gives you the best chance of making
good nutritional choices for your kids.

you and the kids.
There are some simple changes you can make to stop decay in its
tracks - and it’s never too late!
5 TIPS TO STOP DECAY IN ITS TRACKS
1. Avoid snack foods that are sticky, gummy, chewy
or sweet.
2. Avoid grazing! Have set meals times and form a
routine.
3. Limit fruit to two servings per day. Fruit is good
but too much can be harmful.
4. Give your kids water with every meal to help
wash away lingering food.
5. Be selective with snacks. Vegies, cheeses and
lean meats are great and tasty options.
Taking care of teeth, gums, lips and the mouth are important
from a very early age. The habits your children form today are the
ones they will take through life and will have a dramatic effect on
their overall health. Teach them good habits and lead by example.
Everything you have just read applies to you too!

Tooth Decay
Does your child have this disease?
Tooth decay is a disease that 50% of Australian children under
six suffer from that can result in pain, the removal of teeth, bad
breath and a whole host of other problems.
When we hear the word disease we think that it’s something you
‘get’, that it’s unavoidable or you might have done something to
contribute to having it, but overall it was just bad luck.
This is not the case with dental decay!
1. Tooth decay is PREVENTABLE and not inevitable
2. Preventing decay is NOT difficult
3. Early decay can be reversed
How to stop decay in toddlers
The key to stopping decay is forming good habits from an early
age, and maybe undoing a few bad ones on the way.
importantly, never put soft drink, juice, sports drinks, flavoured
milk, or anything sweet in your baby’s bottle. Even if they don’t
have teeth, you are exposing their gums to high concentrations of
sugar for long periods of time.
Similarly, dipping a dummy/pacifier in honey or sugar might get
you a gummy smile, but it will do some damage sitting in your
baby’s mouth for hours on end.
How to check if your child has decay
Knowing how to prevent decay and forming good habits is the
best method of making sure your child doesn’t have decay, but if
you’re not sure, it’s wise to check every now and then.
Lift up their top, roll down their lower lip so you can see the gums
and look for white patches on the teeth that are close to the gum
that don’t come off after brushing. This is an early sign that tooth
decay might be a problem. However, if you see grey, brown or
black spots anywhere on the teeth this is not a good sign and you
should book an appointment with your dentist immediately.
Brushing children’s teeth thoroughly twice a day for two minutes
is vital. That’s less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee to
make sure your child isn’t spending all day with harmful bacteria
on their teeth and gums.
Changes in behaviour can sometimes be a red flag – if your child
is waking regularly in the night, is complaining of tooth ache, or
regularly has bad breath these can all be signs of decay.
Diet plays a major role. When we think of the foods that are bad
for our kids it is chocolate, lollies, and fast food that generally top
the list. Yes, these foods are high in sugar and carbohydrates and
cause decay, but not in moderation and with proper brushing. It
is how frequently we allow kids to eat these foods that cause the
real problems.
Whose job is it to stop decay?
In early childhood this responsibility is yours. Making sure brushing
and flossing happen when they should, providing a balanced diet
and ensuring foods containing sugar are not eaten too frequently,
and teaching your children these habits are not an option but a
part of life and a part of being a parent.
In fact, it’s not just the foods that we think are bad that cause decay
if eaten too often or over a long period of time. Savoury biscuits,
cereals, snack bars and muffins cause damage too. It’s best to
make sure that your child eats set meals rather than ‘grazing’, has a
balanced diet rather than eating too much of one thing, and make
sure anything sugary (even if it doesn’t taste sweet) is in moderation.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone!
There are dental professionals there to advise you and give you
specific advice and tips that will work for your family. If you form
the habits they will do the maintenance and make sure your child’s
mouth is in tip top shape.
Babies can get decay too
Even if your newborn is not on solid foods yet there are a few
things you might be doing that can cause early decay. Most
This means taking your child at 12 months for their first dental
appointment and a regular check up as recommended by your
dentist after that, for the rest of their life. Seeing a dentist
regularly is one of the best ways to maintain good oral health.

Terrible Teething
What to expect when you’re expecting
It’s usually not very difficult to tell if your baby has started
teething. At around 3-7 months you’ll notice frequent crying, red
cheeks, more drooling, problems sleeping, and general fussiness.
You might even notice your little one is refusing food or is trying
to nibble anything he or she can get their hands on!
It’s teething time.
Teething isn’t much fun for anyone. Watching your child be
distressed or being woken up in the middle of the night can be
difficult, but remember your baby has teeth breaking through
their gums for the very first time, ouch!
solids it is important that they are low in sugar and that you are
around to supervise to prevent choking.
If these measures fail to provide relief for teething,
ask your dentist or pharmacist for advice before using
any pain medication or oral gels that contains a local
anaesthetic. These options are not usually suitable for
babies under three months.
It’s important to remain patient and it’s natural to feel a little
helpless. While there is no magic cure for teething there are some
tricks that can help soothe the pain and keep things quiet(er), at
least for a little while.
Soothing your teething tot
Each child is different and sometimes you have to use trial and
error to get results. The first thing to remember when you have a
teething tot is that distracting them from the pain will help, and
there are a variety of ways you can do this. First, try affection and
attention. Giving your baby plenty of cuddles and extra attention
can help keep their mind off their mouth for some short term relief.
Some light pressure with something cold can also help relieve sore
gums, like gently rubbing or massaging the gums with a clean
finger or a cold spoon. Just remember, not too hard and not too
cold! A chilled washcloth can also do the trick, but make sure it’s
clean and not frozen to avoid ice burn.
There are a range of teething rings available for babies to gnaw
on. Chilled (not frozen) teething rings offer temporary pain relief
through the pressure and cold and act as a distraction. Teething
rings can be attached to your babies clothing, but never tie
anything around the neck as it risks strangulation.
Lots of parents choose to let their baby suck or chew on a dummy
(pacifiers) as this can settle a restless baby and provide temporary
relief. Using dummies is OK as long as you don’t put anything
sweet on them like honey or jam (or you’ll cause decay!).
Children who are taking solids can also use remedies such as
hardened sugar-free rusks, peeled cucumber or frozen carrots
large enough that they cannot be swallowed. If you are providing

Should your child present with symptoms not outlined above,
do not assume they are simply teething. Symptoms such as
diarrhoea, rashes (other than those caused by drooling irritation)
and fever are not symptomatic of teething and your child should
see a healthcare professional to rule out other illness.

When the teeth come marching in
When will my baby’s teeth appear?
When you have your first child it can be both an exciting and
anxious time. It’s natural to worry about what’s normal and be
particularly concerned about your new addition to the family’s
health, and teething is no exception.
for alarm if teething starts a little early or a little late. If you’re
worried, it is always a good idea to see a dentist to make sure
everything is normal. By aged three all twenty baby teeth should
have come through, and by around age six your child will likely
start losing them to make way for their secondary teeth.
As a rough guide, your baby is likely to sprout their first teeth
around six months old. Sometimes teeth can come through as
early as three months and as late as ten, so there is no need
The chart below illustrates the names of each tooth, at what
age it is likely to erupt, and at what age they are then likely to be
