Locum fees should be capped amid ‘excruciating’ workforce crisis, says next ACRRM president
Dr Rod Martin says centralised credentialling would also help address variability in locums' skillsets.
“While we continue to have locums paid as handsomely as they are, we will continue to have excruciating workforce shortages.”
Dr Rod Martin, ACRRM’s president-elect, told a state parliamentary inquiry last year that the fees locums were able to charge “explain why we can’t attract more regular doctors”.
