When we see unacceptable behaviour, it's up to us to call it out. If you'd like to get involved in the 'Let's Operate With Respect' initiative you can

• do the eLearning online module and help make sure your colleagues do it too
• do the Foundation Skills for Surgical Educators (FSSE) course. It is mandatory if you teach or train SET trainees or supervise IMGs. 
• contact your state manager or committee, to learn more about what you can do, including:
  • posters in your workplace
  • arranging local FSSE courses for you and your colleagues. FSSE will teach you how to be a better educator and give effective feedback
  • taking part in the Operating with Respect (OWR) one-day course. The OWR course aims to create a safer, more respectful workplace by building respect, building resilience and speaking up.

If you would like to talk about an existing or new concern or complaint please contact the RACS Complaints Hotline.
