NHS waiting lists are impacting GPs’ mental health

A recent survey conducted by the Medical Protection Society (MPS) has revealed a concerning trend among UK doctors. Reasons cited include work pressure, increasing demand, NHS staffing issues, and difficulties providing the right care for patients. Additionally, concerns about burnout and long working hours were noted. The survey also highlighted that a significant portion of doctors feel the government is not doing enough to support their mental health, and many are reconsidering their future careers due to these concerns.

What are your thoughts on the survey results indicating that almost half of UK doctors are experiencing worse mental health now compared to during the pandemic?
