Show Notes
Concerns as job burnout continues to affect our doctors.
Massey University data analysis shows the risk for medical doctors is 22.7 percent, compared to 12.2 percent for other workforces.
Burnt out doctors are nearly five times more likely to seriously consider quitting the profession, over their non-burnt-out colleagues.
Association of Salaried Medical Specialists Executive Director Sarah Dalton says Roman Travers more needs to be done to retain the workforce.
“In order to bring people in, we need to be offering competitive terms and conditions. Compared to Australia, we’re not even in the ballpark.”
