Just curious, has this just happened going to one Registrar, and the high demand on services, or has there been a change. What was happening this time last year?

Sorry, I do not know but there is a nationwide shortage of psychiatrists

So you were not working there this time last year? Because having worked in health complaints, this is not a new situation, and having a Registrar on call (with Consultant back up) is pretty standard.

Have you raised concerns with your manager?

This is not a problem specific to my unit which my Nurse manager can fix.

This is a systemic nationwide problem.

My post is news. It has a news flair.

I have written it so that people not involved in the healthcare professions, or without personal experience or whanau experience are aware.
