The reality of working in the NHS

The GMC Staff Survey and other NHS Data, paint a sad and worrying picture of today’s NHS. Staff are pressurised by rota gaps, poor training, reduced career progression and discriminatory behaviours from colleagues. Many are leaving the NHS - some to work abroad whilst some leave health care altogether. We must solve this staffing crisis if we are to deal with the long waiting times for patients and high levels of burnout for staff.
