A new survey in the U.K. found that staff are leaving the medical profession for better paying jobs in hospitality and in retail, due to cost-of-living challenges plus mental health issues.
"Since its inception, the three core values of the NHS have been for it to: meet the needs of everyone; be free at the point of delivery; and be based on clinical need, not ability to pay," a NHS report noted.
Soaring prices have decreased morale and made recruiting efforts and retention more difficult, according to the survey.And 81% are"moderately or extremely" concerned about their staff's physical health, while 72% noted an increase in the use of mental health services due to stress, debt and poverty. "We found that doctors are searching for jobs in other industries and there has been an exponential increase in those leaving," according to one medical professional who shared insights with Fox News Digital.
She’s an academic physician, with a master's degree in medical education at Harvard Medical School, who now works in the U.S.
