The health lobby group has scheduled talks with new Health Minister Tim Nicholls in a bid to secure a better deal for doctors in the public sector.
Senior Queensland bureaucrats attempted to “cover up” significant concerns about safety and bullying in hospitals, according to the peak body representing doctors.
About a third reported bullying, discrimination or harassment. Almost one-in-five said they had been told not to claim overtime pay.“It is extremely disappointing that bureaucrats at some of our biggest hospitals actively discouraged their doctors from taking part, presumably because they feared what our survey would find,” Dr Yim said.
“There are just some simple things. Some of the junior doctors said they didn’t feel safe walking from the hospital between buildings and also to their cars, for example.In a statement, Nicholls said increased resourcing and improved consultation with doctors would help address the challenges.“The AMAQ report card reflects what every Queenslander knows was wrong with our health system under the former Labor government,” he said.
