Collaborating for change

RACS is working with health services and employers of surgeons, signing agreements which commit both agencies to actions that support a culture of respect.

The RACS Action Plan: Building Respect, Improving Patient Safety, commits us to working with others in the health sector to deal more effectively with discrimination, bullying and sexual harassment.

We are delighted to be working with our 35 partners across Australia and New Zealand on this important work. Our partners include medical colleges, university medical schools, health jurisdictions (including district health boards, state governments and metropolitan health services) and a selection of public and private hospitals.

We have signed agreements - sometimes memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and sometimes letters of intent – that commit both agencies to collaborating on issues that can include surgical education, cultural change and complaints management.
