Responsibilities of every General Trainee Committee Member: 

 All members are asked to commit to the following as well as your individual subgroup responsibilities:

Meeting Attendance & Engagement: 

  • Demonstrate commitment to the TC and the Subgroup through attendance and participation in meetings (for which you can request study leave)
    • Attend at least 60% of the general bi-montly meetings:
      • LSP Showcase Meetings (approx 4 per year total - attend 2-3)
      • TC/TPD Meetings (approx 3 per year total - attend 1-2) 
    • Regularly attend subgroup meetings, these will be decided by subgroup leads and commitments noted in the subgroup roles & responsibilities.
    • The attendance for meetings is monitored vigilantly by the Executive Team.

Project Work:

    • Maintain productivity on project work within subgroup 
    • Presentation of planned, mid-point and completed work at the LSP Showcases
    • Regularly update the website with project work and dates

Succession planning: 

    • The committee does not have a defined period of membership; trainees are able to determine their date of leaving the committee according to their project work timeframes, time availability and ability to commit to project deadlines and leadership development sessions. This requires active and open conversations with the subgroup lead about your commitment
    • If you are planning on going Out of Placement or Maternity Leave you can retain your position, only if early and open conversations are had with your subgroup lead.
    • New for 2024 - Trainees on the TC will be expected to reapply for their roles every 2 years. The reapplication process will take place in March each year, before the March TC/TPD Development Afternoon which will also be our AGM

Actively stepping down: 

  • Committee members do much of their work in ‘free time’. At different stages we’ll have differing draws on our time and focus. Any members who begin to feel unable to commit fully to the committee are asked to talk to the chair and volunteer to step aside to allow new committee members to join.

Non-engaging members

    • If for any reason you are not meeting the minimum requirements for your subgroup and also the general responsibilities as stated above. You will be given a 6 month probationary period after which you will be asked to meet with the chair. This meeting will determine whether you will be asked to leave or continue for a further probationary period.
