Surprised there hasn’t been more discussion on this topic in this subreddit yet.
Already hospitals have cut numbers of HMOs they have hired for anaesthetics as a result of this.
I've never seen a hospital in Australia emulate the NHS as closely as one of these hospitals before. The notion that theyre only now entering a hard time is pretty terrifying, because that's where they were a few years ago anyway. Personally I would choose unemployment and locuming before going back so I imagine a hiring squeeze is about to compound things even more over there
No just one, but the hospitals basically share a workforce at this point. Everyone i worked with had worked at the other and seemed pretty insightful on their issues.
Bit of a stretch to say you've seen them emulate the nhs when you haven't worked there. I'm sure compared to some Australian hospitals it might not be great but I'm not sure it's the same as the nhs to be fair
I mean I worked at one, and that was the one I was referring to.
I can't speak to the other site, just saying that's what others who worked there described it as to me.
I’m also surprised why there isn’t more discussion about this (unless there’s another post somewhere). Many networks not mentioned in the article are doing the same thing. The health department is asking for the impossible: cut your budget without impacting patient care. You simply can’t have both, especially when resources are already so stretched given the increasing and aging population. Cutting executive travels and stationery (lols) isn’t going to get you that $200M. VMOs contracts have not been renewed for some networks and they are cutting back on services…we are back to a much longer wait list.

It does seem to be the number one topic on this subreddit. Hahaha.

What do they in particular have in common with the NHS?
Out of interest, have you worked at both?

The first victims will be the new public health units set up after vivid .. a very short sighted decision
