Many ways lei
Other than making big medical mistake where U get reported

The clinic owner might be unhappy with U and report U anymonously
The receptionist also

On in the case of that indian locum doctor
who did CPR on a patient in sitting position, he decide to bak Pak every locum he knew at all the clinic he locum at just to get everyone into trouble.
U print mc for someone, that someone has someone who knows u and hates U because U Sabo during calls before and he decide to revenge against U.

I would say that if you can locum in 1-2 fixed clinics regularly rather than clinic hop, less chance of getting caught
But if the new MC legislation (requiring all MC to have MCR) comes into play, then tough

Hi everyone, would like some advice from seniors. I completed my mmed in 2022, and have been locuming for past 6 months after leaving ops. Might be joining a chain group soon. (I have decided that I prefer having a regular job rather than full time locum)
Would like to ask if there is any value in doing post graduate diplomas in general?
- gdfm is not applicable as I completed mmed. I was thinking of doing gdom, which will grant me dwd status, but having locum around for 6 months, I am not sure of it's value, as most medical examination that I have performed (insurance, pre-employment, or statutory like wp or 6me) can be cleared by MBBS doctors.
- for the other diplomas like
A) mental health
B) palliative
C) geriatrics
D) child/adolescent health
E) dermatology
Do people feel it value adds your practice in general? (In the context of a FP working in GP land with no interest in aesthetics)- I know people do grad dip dermatology as stepping stone to aesthetics
