The UK\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s National Health Service (NHS) is facing a \u00c5\u201cgrowing disaster\u201d as doctors are suffering from stress and fatigue, putting patients at risk.\n<\/p>\n
The British Medical Association (BMA) meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland heard that doctors in the UK were resorting to alcohol or even suicide because they could not cope with the pressures of their work.\n<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cStress and burn-out in doctors can be catastrophic, putting our patients at risk while ruining the careers of students and doctors at all levels,\u201d warned Dr Jamie Green, from the BMA\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s Junior Members Forum.\n<\/p>\n
Dr Sangeetha Sornalingam, also from the BMA\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s Junior Doctors Forum, said that the burnout in doctors caused them to leave the profession and look for work overseas.\n<\/p>\n
Moreover, he explained that recent changes to Britain\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s healthcare structure are increasing concerns of burnout among doctors, particularly General Practitioners (GPs).\n<\/p>\n
