A Lothians GP has warned that lives could be put at risk in the community after the demand for doctors has left many severely 'burnt out.'
Dr Amy Small, a locum GP in Midlothian, said that aa 'perfect storm' of issues has meant that many medics are experiencing poor mental health and are severely overworked.
Fearing that the stresses could begin to impact on patient safety, the local GP is party of the Rebuild GP Campaign, who are claiming the shortages of doctors is now causing life-threatening risks.
