Published in the Journal of Royal Society of Medicine, Smith’s report addresses any adverse effects on health and well-being of working as a doctor, as described by senior doctors. The survey results indicated that 44% of doctors reported that working as a doctor had adverse effects on their own health or well-being. More General Practitioners (47%) than hospital doctors (42%) specified this was the case. Three-quarters of doctors who reported adverse efforts attributed it to stress, work-life balance, and/or workload and 45% mentioned illness. Chronic stress and illness, which these doctors attributed to their work, were widely reported. Although recent changes may have alleviated some of these issues, the article suggests more support to improve career satisfaction in health service professions in the UK. Older doctors, in particular, need support to be able to continue successfully in their careers.
