2024 ANZCA and FPM fellowship survey results

The survey is run every three years, with KPMG acuity commissioned to deliver the survey on behalf of the college, having supported the process since 2013. The 2024 survey data remains compatible with 2021 survey, allowing for a reliable statistical comparison with previous results. 

The feedback from fellows on the college's future focus areas remains consistent with the 2021 findings, with training, safety and quality continuing to be highlighted as top priorities (% of total essential and important): 

1. 98% Training and fellowship (97% in 2021)
2. 97% Safety and quality (96% in 2021)
3. 93% Professional documents, guidelines and statements (90% in 2021)
4. 92% Continuing professional development (93% in 2021)
5. 91% Representations and submissions to government in detail (88% in 2021)

There was a significant increase in the average importance score (out of 10) for Professional documents, guidelines and statements to fellows, to an average score of 8.9 for 2024, up from 8.6 in 2021. A similar significant increase was seen for Representations and submissions to government in detail, to an average score of 8.7 for 2024, up from 8.4 in 2021. 

The results are an important guide for the college and ANZCA council/FPM Board in the development of the next strategic plan that will commence this year. This aids the college in meeting the needs and expectations of its fellows, and to assist with the prioritisation of strategic and operational planning.
