Opinion: Will the flames of CPD unrest burn out as the medical board expects?
The interview with medical board chair Dr Anne Tonkin over the changes has incensed many doctors.
You cannot accuse Dr Anne Tonkin of lacking clarity.
Her interview with AusDoc has enraged many — not least because she clearly feels there is no fire burning or, if there is, it is a combustion that will burn out with no damage.
The mass complaints — in the words of one GP, the CPD system is a “soul-destroying, form-filling, foolish endeavour” — contrast markedly with her view that at least some people are happy.
But you can feel the deeper sense that whether doctors are made happy or not, none of it will make-or-break for these reforms.
