Objective To report on any adverse effects on health and wellbeing of working as
a doctor, as described by senior doctors. Design Questionnaires sent in 2014 to
all medical graduates of 1974 and 1977. Participants 3695 UK medical graduates.
Setting United Kingdom. Main outcome measures Statements about adverse effects
upon health, wellbeing and career. Results The aggregated response rate from
contactable doctors was 84.6% (3695/4369). In response to the question 'Do you
feel that working as a doctor has had any adverse effects on your own health or
wellbeing?', 44% of doctors answered 'yes'. More GPs (47%) than hospital doctors
(42%) specified that this was the case. Three-quarters of doctors who answered
'yes' cited 'stress/work-life balance/workload' as an adverse effect, and 45%
mentioned illness. In response to the statement 'The NHS of today is a good
employer when doctors become ill themselves', 28% of doctors agreed, 29% neither
agreed nor disagreed and 43% disagreed. More women doctors (49%) than men doctors
(40%) disagreed with this statement. More general practitioners (49%) disagreed
than hospital doctors (37%). Conclusions Chronic stress and illness, which these
doctors attributed to their work, were widely reported. Although recent changes
may have alleviated some of these issues, there are lessons for the present and
future if the NHS is to ensure that its medical workforce receives the support
which enables current doctors to enjoy a full and satisfying career and to
contribute fully to health service provision in the UK. Older doctors, in
particular, need support to be able to continue successfully in their careers.
