Here you will find various documents regarding important rules and regulations in the department.
Welcome Note from Prof Rantloane. Please read carefully as it outlines some guidelines and expectations during training. http://www.up.ac.za/en/anaesthesiology/article/2403148/welcome-note-from-prof-rantloane
Requests for leave must be addressed to the local Clinical HOD (or designated representative) of the hospital you will be servicing at the time of your anticipated leave of absence. Only when you have written approval of your request may you assume leave has been granted.
In general, no leave will be granted during some specialty rotations as the period of attendance is too brief and the exposure might therefore be inadequate
Study or exam leave – In terms of the recently revised leave regulations, the employer no longer contributes leave days for purposes of exams. You will thus be required to utilize your own annual leave for exam study purposes. You will however be granted one day of leave for every day of exams, thus three days of leave for each of the three written exam sessions for FCA 1 and 2, and one day’s leave for the clinical/oral exams in FCA Part 2. Please note that it is not often possible to grant leave when it is desired because of our service obligations. In granting leave requests we are guided by the principle that examinations take first priority, followed by academic activities such as refresher courses and workshops, and then vacation leave.
Congress leave – Priority will be given to those registrars presenting for the final examination in that year. Again this concession must take cognisance of our obligation to provide reasonable levels of service to the hospital at all times
Contact persons for leave requests at the different centres are:
SBAH: Dr S Spijkerman
Kalafong: Dr M Voigt
1 Military: Dr E Selepe
Witbank: Dr M Nel. (You may not take leave while on rotation at this hospital unless under exceptional circumstances)
