Feedback:
Tennant Creek is a huge industrial scale health industry. The AMS likes to have 4 docs- there nurses for everything +++ Administrators +++++ Lots of bureaucracy. The AMS runs a huge gym next to the park, a relationships/wellness center that is another very sizeable facility. There a separate pub health unit building, a separate admin/HR building then.... there's the hospital with its own GP clinic (2docs I think)as well as ? 4-5 docs running the cas and wards. Reasonable accommodation (spent 5-6 hrs on Monday cleaning) Good shops. Their car policy does not allow travel beyond 100km - not happy with that - there is only one rental car business in town . They charge a fortune and the few cars they have are booked out most of the time.
Yes, I did, but this could be improved by providing something like a starter pack for locums, including referral pathways, recall system, perhaps an MBS cheat sheet with ATSI specific details. This should also include legal information of working in NT, such as mandatory reporting. I was lucky to have a very experienced Dr working with me (Meredith).
