I have been an NHS doctor for almost 34 years . I’ve worked hard and I continue to do so . But I’m getting to the point where if possible I will take early retirement for my own and my family’s wellbeing . It’s a bit sh!t at the moment isn’t it ? #medtwitter

I’m finding as a surgeon that the inability to see and treat elective patients in a timely fashion is creating excessive admin. Retriaging ,writing letters, chasing test results micromanaging clinic numbers and operating lists -concerned something will be missed .

Is admin taking over consultants lives ? Emails from other desk based workers ,reviewing results and writing to patients ( to minimise follow up appts) triaging and retriaging pts due to long waiting lists . Hustling for facilities and tools to do our jobs? Maybe it’s just me
