Consultation numbers, working hours, pay and media portrayal cited as reasons for leaving general practice say doctors in Inside Out programme poll
More than half of family doctors say they are set to leave the profession early, according to a new survey.
The survey of 1,004 GPs across the UK for the BBC’s Inside Out programme found that 56% said they expected to retire or leave before they are 60.
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt described the figures as worrying, while Dr Krishna Kasaraneni of the British Medical Association said he was not surprised by them. Dr Kasaraneni said: “Politicians across the board need to acknowledge that general practice is not resourced correctly.”
