Yim told Brisbane Times the AMAQ has scheduled a meeting with Nicholls where the survey results will be raised.

“The first thing is obviously identifying the needs [of doctors], and then the second thing is identifying strategies to deal with them,” he said.

“There are just some simple things. Some of the junior doctors said they didn’t feel safe walking from the hospital between buildings and also to their cars, for example.

“So what are the security environments? What are things that are in place that can assist them?”

In a statement, Nicholls said increased resourcing and improved consultation with doctors would help address the challenges.

“The AMAQ report card reflects what every Queenslander knows was wrong with our health system under the former Labor government,” he said.

“This is exactly why Queenslanders voted for a fresh start which includes restoring health services when you need them right across this state.

“The Crisafulli government will properly resource our hospitals and put doctors and nurses back in charge to help end Labor’s health crisis.”

Yim said, in Brisbane hospitals particularly, doctors were being worked beyond the point of exhaustion.

“It is concerning that 50 per cent of doctors are at stages of burnout,” Yim said.

“We know that some doctors when they feel fatigued it increases the chance of errors, and the junior doctors were concerned about that.”
