Exhausted doctors who have seen “truly horrific things” during the pandemic must be able to organise time off to recuperate before facing the pent-up demand in the system, a top medic has said.
Professor Andrew Goddard, president of the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), warned that things “can’t go from crisis management with the pandemic to crisis management of the backlog”.
He spoke as a survey of doctors across the UK showed almost half were not getting enough sleep, and almost two thirds said there had been no discussion in their organisation about timetabled time off.
