Exclusive: Report suggests four in 10 doctors and dental professionals may quit health service by 2028
The NHS 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.
Intense workloads, rapidly soaring demand for urgent and emergency healthcare and the record high backlog of operations are causing burnout and exhaustion and straining relationships between medics and patients, according to the report by the Medical Defence Union (MDU), which provides legal support to about 200,000 doctors, dental professionals and other healthcare workers in the UK.
