The Specialty Registrars Group (StR group) meets on a monthy basis.

The agenda typically includes a business meeting followed by a session to discuss training experience and ends with a presentation from a speaker on a public health topic. Every three months, the meeting is longer, to allow for a focus on training. Registrars have an opportunity to present projects they are working on or have undertaken and discuss their work experience. External speakers also contribute to these discussions.

Peer-support

The Specialty Registrars' Group believes it is important to develop peer-support. One of the components of the monthly meetings is a session to develop peer-support to discuss issues in public health training, such as ARCP competencies, projects and on-call experience. A ‘buddy’ system is in place and new Specialty Registrars will be given details of their buddy at the induction. Specialty Registrars are encouraged to form peer support groups (e.g. as a focus for Part A preparation)
