Hamish McCay

Dr. Hamish McCay is the President of the Aotearoa NZ Committee at the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. He has been vocal about the urgent need for change in the healthcare system, particularly highlighting the workforce crisis and the challenges faced by medical specialists in New Zealand. Recently, he expressed concerns over government budget cuts, which he believes are exacerbating staffing shortages and unsustainable workloads for healthcare professionals, leading to strike actions as a last resort for workers seeking better conditions and recognition.
