Oh, okay. I asked you what you would call the misrepresentation of the facts by the doctors unions and you seem to have done what they do and answered a different question.
The medical sector constantly misrepresent this (lies about it)
So when representatives of the medical sector say that doctors are leaving the country due to pay and conditions and cite the number of medical graduates who "emigrate" after graduation as evidence you don't think that they are misrepresenting the truth?I did answer it. I indicated that your claim that:
was misrepresentaion of the truth. Or, as you would call that I suppose, "lies". I would be more inclined to regard it to selective perception.
Excellent suggestions. Nurse Practitioners are common in other countries and significantly reduce the workload on doctors.We should be expanding the role of the nurse practitioner and creating more primary care hubs, across the country.
Practices could be run, under the management of a GP team, with nursing, and other allied health professionals managing the day to day healthcare. Along with a direct pathway for diagnostic referrals, xray, ultrasound, CT, MR, pathology tests, labs etc, it would cover much of the routine GP work.
Or, alternatively, develop a GP Training scheme, which is distinct from the traditional medical school. Medical training has hardly changed for 100 years, with strict dictats on hospital based placements, and post graduate internships. A well run course could train a Primary Care health professional in 4 years and they could be placed under the management of currently practicing GP's.
Just on that, what country does train more doctors than us?We train more doctors per capita than any other OECD country (not "in the world").
Sometimes some medical representatives have said this. Most times, in my recollection, medical representatives do not. They give a much more rounded and nuanced perspective.So when representatives of the medical sector say that doctors are leaving the country due to pay and conditions and cite the number of medical graduates who "emigrate" after graduation as evidence you don't think that they are misrepresenting the truth?
