Concerns that burnout and pension tax bills are taking toll on NHS ranks as younger medics quit
The number of doctors retiring early has more than trebled since 2008, prompting fears that burnout and high pension tax bills are prompting medics to leave the NHS.
While 401 GPs and hospital doctors in England and Wales took early retirement in 2007-08, that number had soared to 1,358 in 2020-21 – an increase of 239% in 13 years.
