The Guardian – NHS: alarm over exodus of medical students

The Guardian reports a third of newly graduated medics plan to quit the NHS or leave the profession altogether. The paper says a “third of young medics plan to quit [the] NHS within two years of graduating”, as poor pay, work-life balance and working conditions were attributed as the main factors for physicians intending to leave the UK and continue their medical career elsewhere.

The front page also pictures the devastation in Morocco, as limited aid and rescue teams join a “race against time” to find survivors in the Atlas mountains.
