In the UK, current pressures on resources for healthcare is said to be compromising patient care. Staffing shortages have emerged across all areas of the NHS. Both insufficient recruitment and efflux of existing staff have contributed to this perceived crisis. Recent research has shown that a significant proportion of doctors approaching the end of their career, plan to retire within the next few years.
The purpose of our research is: to explore the factors that doctors consider as they plan when to retire; to determine the relative importance of those factors; and to establish whether and how doctors might trade-off between them. A better understanding of these issues will inform future interventions that may encourage older doctors to remain longer in the workforce.
