CV and mad panic behaviour

[DJC]

While I agree about health work wages, paying them more won't really solve the problems in the system.

They need a lot more staff and a lot more ambulance crews.

The first thing they should do is kybosh the nerd bean counters doing time and motion studies on ambulance crews and ED staff to ensure they are operating at full efficiency!

A mate recently retired after a career as an ambo - most recently in a very senior role.  He's neither a nerd or a bean counter but a very experienced operational ambo.  His take is that they don't have enough ambulances (or spare parts for the ambulances they have) for additional staff.  That means that newly qualified paramedics (my niece just qualified) can't get the 12 months in the passenger seat they need as the next step in their career path.

My niece will probably have to go interstate to progress her career.
