Seeking expressions of interest
The development and review of ANZCA professional documents is undertaken by a document development group (DDG) comprising fellows whose expertise and knowledge align with the relevant subject matter. Participation as a DDG member provides a valuable opportunity to contribute to the safety and quality of patient care. CPD claim entitlements are available to fellows for participation on DDGs.
We're starting to revise or develop the following prof docs. We welcome expressions of interest from fellows with particular interest, experience or expertise in these areas.
