'Burnt out' doctor quit £80k NHS job to set up botox clinic

A doctor with burn out who feared he was "failing" his patients quit the NHS and set up a botox clinic. Baldeep Farmah, a former psychiatric consultant, has nearly doubled his wages with his new business.

Baldeep walked away from his post amid the pressures of staffing issues and his massive caseload. He said he had a caseload of 120 patients to see in three days and had to cover an entire city.

The 37-year-old said the demands of his job meant he was rarely able to spend time with his partner Kiran and their two daughters. The couple have now set up the Dr Aesthetica clinic and said they saw £150,000 yearly profits from an £800,000 turnover.
