College has engaged with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) to provide all Fellows and trainees access to their Introduction to Operating with Respect online module. 

The development of the Operating with Respect Course was prompted by the RACS Action Plan on Discrimination, Bullying and Sexual Harassment in the Practice of Surgery. The primary objective of this module is to enhance comprehension of inappropriate behaviours, enabling participants to identify their occurrence and understand the negative effects they can have on individuals, team dynamics and the safety of patients.  

The material available in this module is exceptional and useful to our Fellows and trainees. While the content is predominately focused on surgical practices, it does draw on common themes prevalent in all workplaces.
