Multi-Source Feedback

CFEP Surveys’ Multi-Source Feedback (MSF) tool, sometimes called 360 feedback, allows individual doctors and clinicians to obtain feedback from peers, patients and industry associates to provide unique and varied views into your all-round performance as a medical practitioner.

CFEP Surveys’ MSF allows registered RACGP members to earn up to 26 hours (of the total 50 hours) CPD requirements under the MBA’s professional performance framework –  while enhancing your ongoing learning to better clinical knowledge, health care improvements, patient satisfaction and professional development.

Additionally, medical professionals are required to annually submit a professional development plan (PDP) as part of the MBA Framework. Completing CFEP Surveys’ MSF allows clinicians to undertake the following activities that are vital in creating robust and actionable PDP:

  • Collect patient, colleague and peer feedback
  • Undertake a period of self-assessment
  • Gain insights into your own professional behaviour and performance, and
  • Identify areas of strength and professional development opportunities.
