HEALTH Secretary Humza Yousaf is being urged to act as a new survey of junior doctors revealed almost half are considering quitting the profession.
A BMA Scotland survey of its junior doctor members revealed 49.8% were considering leaving their jobs within the next two years, with current issues in the NHS leaving them feeling “demoralised, undervalued and exhausted”.
Dr Lailah Peel, the outgoing chair of the BMA’s Scottish junior doctor committee (SJDC), said it was “incredibly concerning to see these stats laid out in black and white”.
