How can you run a health service when a third of doctors are considering leaving the profession or the country?
The General Medical Council reports that 19% of Doctors are actively considering a career change, while a further 12% are looking at opportunities abroad pay better & have more acceptable working conditions.
An exodus of doctors from an already understaffed NHS will (of course) worsen the crisis.
Demonising striking Resident Doctors is not the answer!

I get the impression from watching programmes such as Wanted down under that the pay in Australia is not always as good as in the UK. However the working conditions and home - life balance is much better, so staff get to spend more time with the family is a much bigger factor.
