Recording Guidelines

Recording of lectures can assist/support clinicians who:

  • Are located at campus remote from the delivery of face-to-face education
  • Have unresolvable time conflicts such as other meetings
  • Are required to provide urgent patient care in environments such as (but not limited to) ED and ICUNeed to review lectures at their own pace to enhance learning
  • Are undertaking revision prior to a substantive assessment or written exams
  • Have a disability requiring accommodation
  • Miss lectures due to illness or other unexpected circumstances

No person may share or disseminate recordings with third parties unless under prior agreement with organisers and presenters.

Recordings will be retained for two years from the date of uploading and will then be deleted. A reminder about impending deletion will be sent to organisers so that they may download content for their own purposes.
