SA & NT Rotational Anaesthesia Training Scheme (SANTRATS)

 
The scheme is administered by the Rotational Supervisors under advisement from the Directors and the SA & NT Regional Committee of ANZCA. Recommendations are made to the Directors of Departments within the scheme who make the appointments and employ the trainees. The Rotational Supervisors only deal with trainees who are accepted on to the SA & NT Rotational Anaesthesia training Scheme

The scheme involves rotation through a number of metropolitan hospitals in SA & NT. Trainees are expected to accept the rotations they are offered. Where there are exceptional circumstances that would prevent a particular rotation at a particular time, written requests should be sent to the Rotational Supervisor well before appointments are made.

Trainees who complete all their training in the SA & NT Rotational Anaesthesia Training Scheme will be assured access to all modular requirements within their five years of training. Trainees joining the scheme midway through training from interstate or overseas do not have the same assurance but will be offered appropriate rotations wherever possible.

Hospitals included in the scheme are: Flinders Medical Centre, Lyell McEwin Health Service, Modbury Public Hospital, Repatriation General Hospital, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Royal Darwin Hospital, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

Reappointment to a training position is NOT automatic and trainees need to reapply each year in order to continue on the training scheme. Reappointment requires demonstration of satisfactory performance in the previous year.
