Medical defence organisation Avant says it is aware of one doctor who has been under emergency suspension for eight years.
Medical defence organisation Avant is calling for doctors’ emergency suspensions to be lifted after 12 months if AHPRA has not finalised its investigation into their conduct.
There have been long-running concerns about the use of emergency suspensions, which denies a doctor the ability to work pending a formal hearing into their alleged conduct.
