Nowadays highly paid locum doctors are putting patients at risk by escaping proper checks on their fitness to practice. In an investigation, it was found that hospitals are failing to raise the alarm when they come across stand-in medics whose skill levels are unsafe. It was found that evidence patients were failing to give honest feedback about doctors, which is a critical part of the relicensing process, for fear of being identified and mistreated.
How should hospitals raise alarm over locum doctors?
