Mr Kay said better pay was needed. “It’s one thing politicians saying you support the NHS by banging pans outside Downing Street, but that doesn’t quite cut it,” he said.

“I’m on £14 an hour, which, as a doctor who’s trained for six years, is pretty shit as a starting salary,” Sara said. “But it’s not just the money. I would very happily earn what I’m earning now, if the work-life balance was better. I just don’t see it being sustainable.” “It happens a lot nowadays when I wake up or I’m in the shower. I’m like, ‘Oh, it would be nice to just have a normal job’,” she says.to practise medicine for a “better lifestyle”.

It does make you feel undervalued.”
“If you’re doing extreme hours, it’s hard to be on your top game every day. When you’ve worked 67 hours in a week already, it’s hard to be focused and be as efficient as you were, and still be the most compassionate, empathetic doctor.”“It’s such a shame,” she says. “I wish I could say yes because we all believe in it so much.
