In this episode, I chat with Eamon, a medical recruiter looking after locum doctors all around Australia. We start by discussing the motivations and benefits for locum doctors, then explore some challenges/pitfalls that can happen- sudden cancellations, doublebooking, job not accurately advertised.
We touch on some challenges facing rural healthcare in Australia, and I ask about what makes some doctors quit locuming, and what makes some rural hospitals excel in attracting regular returning doctors.
