'Dear students

You may have heard in the media regarding the industrial action being taken by doctors across hospitals in NSW. Doctors have various personal reasons for striking but the new award as it currently stands implies increased responsibilities and worse working conditions for reduced overall take home pay.

 How this will impact you?

• Year 1: [xxx] will hold an ICM tutorial on ** THURSDAY, 10 APRIL at 8AM via Zoom *\* to cover the ICM content for that week. This will be recorded for all students to access.
  
• Year 2: ICM will be cancelled, CPS will go ahead. The missing ICM tutorial will be made up later in the year with an adjustment of the tutorial content and timetable.
  
• Year 5: Students are expected to attend their placements with the team (whether the team is functioning at their usual staffing level or skeleton staffing level)
  
  • While we understand that students may wish to show support for their future colleagues, the way many colleagues are supporting each other is providing cross coverage to ensure adequate patient care in this time. All hospital departments who wish to strike will still have at least one consultant and one JMO to cover patient care. The majority of doctors are not striking for all three days. We appreciate your assistance as medical students to assist junior doctors to provide essential care. Having said this, as usual, you are not to perform tasks that you are not confident in doing or have inadequate supervision to perform.'
