Exclusive: Report suggests four in 10 doctors and dental professionals may quit health service by 2028
faces an alarming mass exodus of doctors and dental professionals, health chiefs have said, as a report reveals four in 10 are likely to quit over “intolerable” pressures.
NHS chiefs said it laid bare the impact of the crisis in the health service on staff, and MPs said it should serve as a “wake-up call” to ministers on the urgent need to take action to persuade thousands of NHS staff heading for the exit door to stay. Matt Davies, the president of the Association of Anaesthetists, said the MDU report exposed how the “significant strain” experienced by staff working in “ever more intolerable working conditions” could lead thousands to quit permanently.
The MDU report found that 88% of doctors and dental professionals said workplace pressures had increased in the past three years, and 48% said they had reduced their hours in order to cope. “They want to provide patients with the best possible care but tell us they often feel overwhelmed by the many conflicting demands on their time,” Fryar said. “This is impacting the clinician/patient relationship, and our members often bear the brunt of patient dissatisfaction which itself can be demoralising.”
