MALT for SET in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery

Mandatory for all SET levels.

Trainees need to complete the SET - Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery Logbook, which will be automatically allocated to them.

This logbook type utilises the SNOMED CT-AU reference set with Board reporting terms determined by the Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery Training Board.

Trainees who have transferred from a different specialty, where access has been granted to MALT, will retain access to the logbook from that specialty for reporting.

MALT uses the terms Nominated Supervisor and Alternate Supervisor. Supervisors can view cases for the Trainees they are supervising and provide comments on specific cases.

Nominated Supervisor: Specialty surgical supervisor
Alternate Supervisor: Surgeon in theatre with Trainee during procedure

All supervisors must be Fellows of the College (FRACS). Only one Nominated Supervisor can be selected per rotation.

Individual cases do not require supervisor approval from within the MALT system (see approval process below).

Record cases done in accredited hospitals only.

For cases where more than one surgical procedure has been undertaken, MALT allows multiple procedures to be recorded.

This logbook type utilises the SNOMED CT-AU procedure list, with selected terms identified by the Training Board as Board Reporting Terms (XLSX 4.3MB). The MALT Logbook Summary Report will only show procedure counts for board reporting terms. The new non-board approved report captures all other procedures entered in your logbook.

Note: The procedure list has recently been updated to reduce the number of reporting terms to make case entry simpler.

Cases move through a non-supervisory workflow progression from "Draft" to "Completed".

1. Fill in and save the case (Draft).
2. Ensure all cases are marked as Complete (Completed).
3. Print the Logbook Summary Report and the Accumulative Procedure and Indicator Totals Report. Instructions for printing reports (PDF 332.05KB)
4. Submit the reports to the Training Board. Note: the report should only contain ‘Completed’ status
