Nearly two-thirds of physicians in Wales say they feel "overwhelmed" due to excessive workloads and high staff absence rates.
A new Royal College of Physicians (RCP) membership survey found that 63% of respondents in Wales had felt overwhelmed at least once while at work in the past three weeks while one in six (17%) said they felt overwhelmed almost every day.
The RCP said high levels of staff sickness are still putting immense strain on "demoralised" clinicians who are working under the extreme pressure of Covid-19 coupled with usual winter illnesses.
