Unregistered doctor sparks review of all junior medics: NSW
The state health authority says no further cases of non-compliance with AHPRA registration had been found
Registrations of all doctors in NSW will be audited as the state’s health authority tries to understand how one Sydney doctor worked unregistered in a hospital for seven months.
The unregistered junior doctor was removed from duties on Monday after Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital discovered she was not on the AHPRA register.
The 27-year-old was first employed at the hospital in Sydney’s southwest in January and had been fully supervised throughout her employment to August.
On Friday, the hospital operator – South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD) – said it had reviewed the registrations of all junior medical officers in its district and has found no further issues.
