Do I have to participate in NTASM?

Participation by surgeons is a requirement of the RACS Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program.

If I participate do I have to be a first or second-line assessor?

No. All consultant surgeons can volunteer to be first or second-line assessors. The more assessors there are, the fewer assessments each assessor will receive. We appreciate and recognise the time these assessors give to NTASM.

Are any instructions/guidelines provided for second-line assessors?

Second-line assessments have guidelines on the back of the form and report guidelines are included.

Is the NTASM process confidential?

Yes. All data is de-identified and is securely stored. NTASM reports are covered by qualified privilege (PDF 2.06MB).

How will NTASM know if a patient has died under my care?

NTASM will be notified by the hospital directly or you can self-notify via the Fellows' Interface.

What if I need the medical records to fill out the NTASM surgical case form?

In this case, please contact the medical records department of your hospital.

What do I do after completing the NTASM surgical case form?

Please submit the surgical case form to NTASM electronically using the Fellows Interface. 

Who do I contact if I have any queries?

All enquiries can be directed to the NTASM office via telephone on +61 7 3249 2971 or via email at [email protected].
