Neel Gobin (Chair), Esther Zhou (Events Director), Tabish Aleemullah (Policy Officer) and Chris Lemon (Public Relations Officer) had a very productive meeting today with Health Minister, Jillian Skinner.
Andrew Kirk (Minister's Chief of Staff) and Robyn Burley (NSW Health Director of Workforce Planning & Development) were also present.
We discussed the maldistribution of doctors in the NSW workforce that sees a lack of practising doctors in rural/regional networks. NSWMSC proposed a number of alternatives - including increased funding for vocational and pre-vocational training positions, expansion of rural clinical schools, scholarships and improvements to the NSW JMO Recruitment Strategy to tackle the ‘bottleneck’.
