If you work as a locum don't put in claims for days you didn't work and don't inflate callback times!
Not only are doctors (very few I hope) defrauding QHS at least one locum service is attempting to get two days payment from QHS for a 24hour period starting 08:00am, claiming a "24 hour period" rolls over at midnight, not 08:00am the next day !
This is the wording of the QHS policy :-"... base rate includes any on call or recall allowance and the agency fee. Any hours worked in excess of 12 hours in a 24 hour period are to be paid at an hourly rate determined as ..."
It's hard enough to provide a decent service to the community without the blatant greed of some of the "service" providers.
Pathetic really, it's not like we don't get very well paid for what we do anyway.

good point- I hear that in the past, and in many countries still, being a 'doc' is not a glamour job, but a job like a teacher, - something that you do for the community, where you are innundated and the pay is modest.
